Are we not allowed to post MP links?! I have my referral code below.

Can a mod advise?

Hi Choons et All

I have checked with the powers above and the feedback I received is that we should not be linking to MyProtein.co.uk in our sigs.

These are classed as referral links and as such contravene the sig rules of Boards.ie.

So my advice to any posters who may still have this in their sig would be to remove it. But if you chose not to, then once it comes to the attention of the Sig Police it will be removed anyway.

Best Regards,

Michael

The romaleos are supposed to be much less durable than any of the adidas shoes, and this video doesn't exactly inspire confidence:

edit: either does this blurb http://reviews.nike.com/9191/315815/reviews.htm

It actually doesn't.

Per the sig forum rules there's no mention of referral links. In the OLD sig rules it was prohibited, but the new rules superceeded them and there's no mention of it.

The new rules can be found here; http://boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1354

Can't find the post with the old rules but you'll see in it that it specifically says in an edit that the new rules posted above superceed it.

FFS stop misquoting to try and make me look wrong.

Sigs may contain a simple text only link to other websites, including a business (i.e. www.mysite.com - no images), but a disguised link (i.e. Come buy really cheap electronics here, we're having a huge sale, come on down!) is not allowed.

Nothing about referrals, just disguised links. As far as I remember the previous rules had the above AND a specific mention of referral links.

Any the link I had was simple text and a link to the website, and there were no images, and there were no disguises.

Hi All

I have seen and read the new rules and Hanely is correct, they do not expressly mention "referral links". However when Choons posted his question I went and asked the Administrators what was boards policy on the MP codes. The feedback that I received from an administrator was that the putting the MP codes in your sig was considered a referral link and therefore contravenes the signature rules of Boards.ie. Any such links which either come to the attention of the Sig police or are reported will be deleted.

For anybody who wants to hear it straight from the higher powers, please post a question on the Signature Forum.

Best Regards,

M

"Might have worked 80 years ago...."

That would be the weightlifting shoe that only came about in the 60s and 70s?

If this guy is that much of an idiot, (and he is) then I'm out.
