I was generally referring to forbidding of posting links to external forum.
If you do it respectfully I don't see why would it be prohibited.
When you start a thread that links to another forum with interesting information, it most likely won't be prohibited. However, the topic being questioned had Moderator Headache written all over it.
Our board has gained some visibility the past couple of years, a lot of it on more respected film and entertainment sites. The attention has been positive and respectful. We would like to keep it that way, as well as returning the sentiment.
...if he named it "Interesting things from TFN" would it still be labelled as inappropriate? If so I think this should be stated in forum rules somewhere.
Do you really think any topic linked to a Star Wars board with markedly different views from ours is going to stay civil for more than a few hours? Particularly if the only thing not incendiary is the title. We shouldn't have to spell out common sense guidelines.
