So: The rules in the garden have been updated. We will be harsher when it comes to repeated rule-breaking.
The things that are changed is this:
- Links to sponsors are allowed as long as it adds to the value of the thread and is not marketing the product.
- If you need to show a pic that is on a non sponsor, vendor web-page, either embed the picture in your post or upload it(if it is not copyrighted). No names of non sponsor vendors may be posted in the pic.
These rules are here by a reason: The Shroomery has sponsors, who pay for advertisement. We should be very grateful for that. Do try to understand that if other people get free advertisement the sponsors have no reason whatsoever to pay for those rights.

yea i agree, people in the garden are posting links more and more often and i have to edit some out of posts almost every day.
i do agree that it sucks that we cant post links but it would be worse if no one sponsored the shroomery.
the only links i would allow is informative links like wiki style.
ex:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Pedro_cactus
that is a good example, but a link to a vendor that has info and sales on the same page will not be allowed.
we are going to start to be a little more harsh on this rule because it seems people just dont get it, also if you have a question about a link please send it to one of us and we will let you know.

ya well but in some cases it would be good to know what the source of the information is (is it reliable info etc.) i understand the new rules and why they are made but if you quote something and say, cant tell the source , the information is more or less worth squat, for all i know you made it up and claim you found the information on a reliable vendors webpage but you cant name it because of the rules .. well thats my first thought about it.,.

If a vendor has unsubstantiated information that information is worth no more than unsubstantiated info on an online forum(so you can quote it without leaving a source and loose no value, as the source is no more credible than you). And if the vendor states a source, then you can state that source.

that is what a pm is for, if you really need to know the link then pm the poster which posted the info :-))
believe me when i tell you we have good people here that will let you know when bogus info is posted, they are not shy about saying " hey you posted misinformation" and then they will tell you the right info.
but for now there is no vendor links allowed
