Web links on User Pages

Glitter Text - Pictures - Clocks - Music - Etc.

When used on their own there is nothing wrong, for the most part, with these items. The problem is that when you go to a site and get a glitter text or a picture or a song and you paste that into your user page you are, in many cases, pasting a link back to that site. Such links are not allowed. They are advertising and in many cases the links lead to non "G" rated material.

Most Players do not even realize that the link is there. If you are going to use these sites for their pictures and stuff you must also remove the links from their codes. If you do not know how to do that then I suggest you get some help from someone who does or leave it off your page. If you do not then you risk having your User Page edited or removed entirely by the Moderators.

Example: Here are two codes, both for a clock. The first has an embedded link to an inappropriate site. The second does not. Both links create a clock. Try them out and you will see what I mean. This is a fairly simple example, other links are more difficult to remove and some just can't be removed. Regardless, you can not have these links on your pages so take whatever steps you need to be sure the links are gone.

Code:
<br /><br /><form action='http://www.poqbum.com' method='post' target='_new'><embed allowscriptaccess="never"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://poqbum.com/Files/Clocks/1.swf" width="325" height="287" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high"></embed><input type='submit' value='More Cool Stuff At poqbum.com' /><br /><br />
</form>
Code:
<center><br /><br /><embed allowscriptaccess="never"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://poqbum.com/Files/Clocks/1.swf" width="325" height="287" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high"></embed><br /></center>
Please use caution when putting this stuff on your User Page. I am going through pages and checking for this and other infractions. If you think your page may have such links then it would be best for you to take a look and fix them.

Please also understand that more is not always better. Those of you that feel you need to post glitter and pictures and icons etc. by the hundreds on your page are not helping the page. In most cases you are hurting. Other players are not going to wait the time it takes for your page to load just to look at it. Your computer may be super fast but not everyone has a fast computer. Please keep the quantity of your stuff reasonable.

Enjoy the User Page option but keep it "G" rated.

Thank you,

ASuperStitch
