As the title says, we’ve got a lot of reports about this, and we have Rule 7 - Should we take a hardline stance of no OF/SC/links etc? Vote in the comments.

    I don’t think it should be allowed in titles, watermarks, comments etc but I don’t see a problem with it being on someone’s profile so long as it’s not in the community. Just my opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️ Although, I was banned from reddit gw for having redgifs (which some subs require you to post with) and lemmy linked on my profile. Kind of silly since I asked if it was okay and was told I could continue posting, only for them to change their mind a couple days later.

      Yeah that’s what I don’t want to happen here, there have been a LOT of reports lately from a few users mentioning Rule 7 being broken for this sub.
      I’ve largely ignored them, because I know we’re been quite lenient about that rule in the past.

      The rule does say that they shouldn’t be allowed at all, so that’s the reasoning, but I don’t want to suddenly remove a ton of content that is otherwise well-accepted. 👍

      There is something to say for you being active here though :) - there are other OF users who don’t engage or comment on Lemmy, which becomes a problem when these “bot users” posts their OF adverts across multiple communities at the same time, and doesn’t do anything else (comment, etc).

      Reddit GW banned me as well although and I never ever even considered posting there 😅 never mind having an OF account.

      Simply because I had uncovered a catfishing account on a previous post years back by pointing out that they weren’t who they claimed to be and linking the OF account as proof.
