UCP being stupid
what is the point in removing links like this
SLK SLR Vs. Enzo saves just copying over the thred from the other frum and you get other persons views, do you really think that its gonna take members from UCP ? its pathetic

It was a link to a link to a video that needed subcribing to download. Pretty pointless if you ask me.

there wasnt any explanation there as to why it was removed though for all that members know you may of justwanted it removed beacuse it was "Please, don't link us to ANOTHER link on another board." that doesnt say anyting about it and then when members wanna know about the topic they see this
"ultimatecarpage" maybe the mods need to explain things better

Yes the problem was that it was a link to another link. That was clearly stated in the edited post. So what is the problem?

you jsut said two completely dfifferent things wouter
firstly you said "link to a video that needed subcribing to download" then you said ". That was clearly stated in the edited post." when the actual post says "Please, don't link us to ANOTHER link on another board" NOT that you need to subscribe or anything like that

 I can state it more simply as I read it .... Wouter runs this site for free for us to enjoy. ANY link to another site means two things .... 1) The other site may infect with mal-ware and UCP will end up with the reputation for having caused it ---- BAD  2) The reader is spending time on another site with ITS pop-ups and ads and not here on UCP, so potential loss of revenue to WOuter. Revenue that allows him to be nice and keep the forums free for us. and I guess there's also a .... 3) It's WOUter's site ... he can do what he likes and NOT have to justify it.

in that case there should be ANY links to somewhere other than this site allowed? as even links to offsite videos contain pop ups and potential loss ?

Preference is for none. Occasional ones will most likely be accepted and ones to known sites ( ie break, youtube etc ) will usually get ignored. Links to obvious scammers and phishers get treated by instantenous removal. The grey area is wide But if you REALLY want all site links removed then we can do that/ You jsut explain it to all the UCPers it was your fault
