Please remove my warning point and put back my URL's

Yesterday, I get a warning point for stating my opinion in a thread that wasn't the popular opinion. A warning point? Really?

 

Here's the thread, 14th post:

http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/1547484-i-walked-off-the-golf-course-today/

 

If you can't be bothered to read it, here's the gist. OP is complaining that his group added a 5th player at the turn. On the front 9 they played in 2:45!!! And were waiting on every single shot. This bothered the OP to the point of walking in after adding the 5th.

 

I state I would not mind adding a 5th player to my group on an already busy course where my group is waiting on every shot. We won't be holding anyone up as a 5-some. We're not the slow group, it's already slow.

 

I later go on to agree with the OP in that if the round were quick or if we had space ahead of us and lagging, I'd have likely left also. But not when we are waiting on every shot over 2:45 on the front.

 

And I get a warning point? Please remove it.

 

Secondly, I get a warning for putting links in my signature? Right there on the signature screen it says "Any number of URL's" are allowed. Links are URL's. Websites are URL's.

 

If this isn't what golfwrx means by "Any number of URL's" in a signature is allowed, perhaps that part should be edited or rewritten.

 

I see "Any number of URL's is allowed", then I put a URL in my signature, then I get it removed from my signature and the link removed. ??????

 

Please enlighten me how putting a URL in my signature is in violation of "Any number of URL's is allowed".

Promotion of products, services, sites/research is not allowed. What did you link too? Having the ability to do something does not imply you can do anything.

Thanks for the reply.

 

A link to ShortPar4 for WRX members to get their first box for just $25.

 

And a link to Ebates for anyone who hasn't signed up yet and does lots of shopping online.

 

Just trying to save WRX members money with Christmas coming up (Ebates) and bring attention to the SP4 site. A golf apparel company that ships golf apparel to your door each month. A natural fit being this is a site with golfers on it. And not everyone goes into the DonD forum to see the megapost about it, so they may not be aware this service exists.

 

Just trying to be helpful to fellow WRX members.

Those are referral links that you would get credit for. Definetly not allowed as that's what sponsorship is for.

The warning was for the referral links in your signature only, not your post.

This is a warning. We don't want this message to make you fear the site or the Marshals / Admins. We are trying to keep the peace here. It isn't a perfect science. While the rules are subjective we would appreciate your efforts to stay on the safe side when posting. When in doubt... DONT! We are very busy and hope you can sort through your posts to determine the problem area and make corrective actions to prevent future problems.

We pride our selves here at Golfwrx to be an online Country Club. To have that feeling we must act appropriately and avoid confrontations.

Thanks for your understanding. "
