Default Question about "Inappropriate Links"

Linking to other Corvette sites is not permitted. Neither is linking to non-supporting vendors or other commercial sites.

I'm a little confused by this? Could you please elaborate?

The "Other Corvette Sites" means, forums, right? Can I post links to sites helping people find corvette parts or do I have to make sure the link goes to a supporting vendor only? Sites like Ebay acceptable?

Also about "Other commercial sites"

Would a link to a 383 build and write up in a magazine like Car Craft or Hot Rod be allowed? Or, is that also "Other Commercial Sites" and therefore against the rules?

Like a question about a product in Jegs or Summit Racing?

Is that permitted?

First, some background. The site's supporting vendors pay fees to cover the expenses of keeping the site running, so they have exclusive marketing/sales privileges on the site.

We allow site users to mention non-supporting vendors they have had good experiences with so long as the mention does not include links, email addresses, phone numbers, prices, etc. Such references also cannot be posted so frequently that they become marketing and promotion for a non-supporting vendor.

Links to ebay are covered in the sales rules, see No. 2:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/foru...eir-parts.html

Nothing would prevent you from linking to how-to information that would be of use to Corvetteforum users so long as that link was not to another forum for Corvette enthusiasts or to a commercial site maintained by a non-supporting vendor.
