"The diffrence is, I am stating my credentials, not advertising...
I am not advertising to joing the site or pming memebers, it is up to thier FREE WILL to come check out the sites."

The point is they wouldn't have the free will to come to the site if the link was not posted in the signature as such as they would not go to the website's I put in my signature if they were there.
Credentials are like stats...5 10 285 lifting 10 years things like that. Being a monitor at a board requires no special talent for the most part in these boards that are springing up like weeds around the net. Now just about everyone is an expert and a monitor, and really they for the most part are inexperinced parrots-just repeating what they read somewhere else with out real world experience.

"Also the diffrence between putting board links and supplement company links is the fact that EF sells sponsorships to supplement advertisers, ie (AF store) so you cannot go and advertise ********** (which i dont know why u would anyways) because that is in direct violation of EF rules......"
MG said:
In a round about way Message Boards are a source of supplements and research items as most boards are sponsored by banners you go to the site and click on the link..so indirectly that is advertising a site.

"Im sure EF sam would be more then happy to explain the rules to you.....no need to play devils advocate as this does not concern you in the least"
MG said:
It does concern me in the most as I am a contributor here and it was addressed to ALL members to read and I can have an opinion as it is a FREE country and you have yours don't take it personally.
I just thought it was strange that links to other boards were in signatures but could not be posted in threads. In a way, they are "posted" in signatures.
Yes I know people aren't actively recruiting but...it's kind of like Alcohol is legal and AAS are not...
Elite has a right to self protection and even though I don't make the policies I have a right to an opinion.
