> So how exactly are bans unjustified?? Are you actually serious??

You let just about anything slide, yet you can't seem to grasp that you aren't allowed to insult people. How long is it going to take for you to realize you're being offensive???
There are grown adults and serious people here—who do you think you are, handing out bans like that?!? Have some shame, Charles Fox10! Go take your nonsense out on your own kids instead!!!
You've completely ruined another thread for me!

> Posting links without a brief explanation or translation goes against the rules here

1) Maybe the forum administration could take a moment to consider how necessary it actually is to shove editorial requirements right in front of the users.

Nowadays, most links are basically self-documenting—meaning the link itself includes a description or a title.

A full link with a description shows up in the status bar, and you can even increase how much of the URL is displayed in vB; check out this PHP code:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...-of-url-length
(It’s clear that even modern vB uses these kinds of links, including the PDF filename and the thread title)

2) Alternatively, they could just add a rule:
... Links aren't a substitute for actual text. When you post a link, you should briefly explain what's behind it...
The exception would be self-explanatory American links.

3) Or they could just form a specific user group called "Editors" (who would also handle creating FAQ-Topics)

4) Or, if something is truly vital, put it (in red letters) in the header of every single thread page, rather than just telling people to 'occasionally read the first post.'
Handing out points or bans is insulting, as is penalizing people for using the internet the way anyone normally does—which means scanning text instead of reading every single word.

Is this the right way to drop links?

John Clark6, thanks for clearing that up.
I won't argue, though technically I’ve still got two hours left to do just that. 🙂

The real question remains: do I pull the trigger on the payment right now...
