Warning: posting links in the free section.

Ok all, im gunna put my foot down now, for months admins and mods have been removing links and leaving polite notes when links of any kind are posted in the free section,

no more, any links found in posts will result in the post being deleted.
This includes links to fileshares and hotlinked images and those that repeatedly post links will be restricted.

MODS: ANY LINKS IN POSTS, REMOVE THE POST THIS INCLUDES HOT LINKED IMAGES AND LINKS TO FILESHARES.

I know it is explicitly stated as "NO LINKS" but how do the rules apply to Moderators? No links outside the site for Moderators? Example: Can I link to the site rules in my posts?

Just thought I'd lay the groundwork before I go off and refer people to the rules while breaking them myself.
