Guys, I've never minded about hotlinks posted by newcomers, I've always just edited saying please not to do it again in the future.
What honestly is quite unbearable is to see old members keeping posting hotlinks.
That feels like what we ask is just not important to someone, ore they just don't care, ot they just don't get it, or they just were absent-minded, or whatever else.
Dyo, against whom there's nothing personal but he was only the last one, will post again the non-hot links to the shares and he will probably better remember what to do next time.
Do you really think that do's and don't's pinned thread would really work?
I'm just remembering of the terrible experience we had with the non-library section where we got hundreds of out-of-focus posts even after hundreds of calls, till we got to close it.
Most people just don't pay attention, or, they just don't even visit certain sections of the board going straight to the Shares or Requests sections.
We always preferred to politely ask from time to time to respect some little simple observances instead of put down a set of strict rules.
Forgive my outburst, but it's frustrating to have to repeat things a thousand times and find out that some people still aren't listening to you.
