Is that not accepted? Can I only point out links to other people's sites, and not mine? He's looking for templates, I have free-templates.com. Is this unacceptable?
It appears that is so (unless they have changed the policy). I once posted a link to my own site in response to a specific request for such information (p.s. was not even selling anything on my site, except giving free info). Was immidiately reprimanded by the top honcho Mod here (Giant Domains) for doing so and warned not to do it again. But it would have been OK (and even welcomed) to post a link to any 3rd parties site, perhaps not even a dnf member.
In other words this policy say's it is OK to send business and traffic to some out-siders site but not to the members own site, even though the member may contribute a lot here and rarely if ever self-promote or advertise, and who's web-site may be better and more informative! That type of forum policy is absurd, IMO.
