I still have one post that is waiting approval, it has been about 24 hours
now since I posted it.
I assume that the reason for the non-approval is due to the links to the
LUGNET Set Guide I referenced in my post.
My first post was approved but "edited" beforehand. It too had a link to
the LUGNET Set Guide. The link was remove from what was actually posted on
the board.
I went and reviewed the ToS and it doesn't expressly state that off-site
links are prohibited.
In my case, the point I was trying to make is greatly enhanced by being able
to see a picture of the set I am referring to. I suspect that many of the
users of the message board will not be as familiar with the older set
numbers as some of us insane people here on LUGNET. If I say the 725 Basic
Building Set should be the next legend, unless you know what I am talking
about, you have no idea why I think it is such a good set.
Jake - can you clarify your policy on including links on the message board?
