Quote - I will say that I can't see posting the freebie links in the other forums now that we have a freestuff forum. My push will be to allow any linking to freestuff items in the Renderosity Freestuff forum. Just as the Product showcase is for all commercial posts, I see the Freestuff forum being for all freestuff links.

Quote - As I stated originally, there was some miscommunication and we (admin) haven't made a final ruling on freestuff links posted that are not in our Freestuff area so please hold tight and don't get too worked up yet, lol:)

I have to say that what you, StaceyG, have written so far, sounds pretty acceptable. The wording is good too.

Yours quest for new rules is remarkable, no doubts about that.

To avoid misunderstanding it might be helpful to say clearly what is OK.

What is written leads me to the conclusion that someone has to post said links first in "freestuff forum" and than link to them from whatever else post here.

For example if someone is asking for a certain free battleship-model and someone else knows about such a model, then this someone has 1) to post the link to to the model in "freestuff forum" and after this 2) post the link to the "freestuff forum" - where the link to the external site with the said model can be found - in the post of the person asking for a free battleship model.

Umm yeah...
I can see that it helps to concentrate all freebies.
I can also see that this appears a bit clumsy if I stumble across such an request, know an external source and want to share the information about this source.

That's better than to disallow but it lacks some aesthetics.
