    Loggin in today I came across a private message from the moderator Silly Goose in which a warning was given to one of my posts. As far as i can see this warning was due to my singature violating the rules apparently. Yes, my signature consists of 2 images which have a direct link to a RUNE-SERVER post, which, if i read the rules correctly is not prohibited anywhere. the rules clearly state the following;

    Prohibited advertisements include but are not limited to the following:
    • Links to other community forums.
    • Links to other Servers.
    • Direct links to Discord.
    • Referral links of any kind.


    Some exemptions apply to the following:
    • Users with affiliate status. Affiliation options can be found on the donate page.
    • Sections that explicitly state if such an advertisement is permissible.
    • Major websites such as Google, Youtube, Reddit, etc (indirectly linking to something prohibited, for example through a search engine, is still prohibited).


    As this was about advertising; I did not link to other community forums such as community.WEBSITENAME.com, I did not link to other servers such as SERVERNAME.org nor did I link to a discord or a referral link. All my signatures only link to a thread within rune-server. Therefor i would like to ask why this warning was given as currently the rules given above do not seem to list advertising in the signature to be advertising if you link to a thread within the same community.
    This is not really a complaint in any way, I just would like clarification on why I received a warning for something which is not (clearly) stated within the forum rules.

    I hope SILLY GOOSE himself can awnser my question.
    Kind regards,

    Jay
