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?

You are right, your post was edited to exclude the URL. I am still working
out what the external URL policy is, and will add it to the ToS and post
here as soon as it is resolved.

That will be great. I would stump (as I did in my comment in the board
feedback section) for references to the guide section of LUGNET(tm) and
Peeron(tm) inventories and other things to be left alone.

As far as the editing, what do you all think? Would you prefer to have just
the link (and possibly the part of the message related to that link)
removed, and the post pushed live? Or would you rather see the post rejected
entirely with a reason of "Includes External URL" (you can see rejection
reasons in MyComments)?

I'd prefer that I can see pending, accepted, and rejected with comments as 3
separate categories in MyComments. For the "rejected with comments" let me
edit and fix whatever the issue is and resubmit.

Once we get all these questions answered, the turn around time should be
much quicker.

PS: If I recall correctly, one posts was edited to remove your name (i.e.
Personal Information)

(...) Jake, for URL's would it be possible to leave them in the message, but just not make them 'clickable'??? Then the user could just cut and paste them to another browser window, and it's not really something that lego.com linked the user (...) (21 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
