Did you post it in your forum or someone elses?
Did you try to post it in the site forum?
Jordan, I never have any of the problems with writing.com that you do. They have no problem with outside links, I post them to the people in scroll all the time. I have them on my pages in my portfolio. No one cares.
But if you went into someone else's forum, they might care and if you tried to post it in one of the site forums, yeah, the cleaners are going to remove them. There are rules for everyone's forum and everyone makes their own rules for their personal forums.
Put up an item in your port and go post the item number around. Ask people if you can just drop it in their forums before you do. | | Back to Top | | |

I posted in the general forum and got a note from the moderator saying that it was deleted because it contained an outside link.
Where do you suggest I post the item around? There SHOULD be a centralized location.
For all the forums on Writing.com, the first thing I suggest you do is read the forum posting rules. They vary. the General forum is one of the site forums. Not a good place to post stuff that isn't specifically about writing.com, that's what it's for.
there is NO centralized location for advertisements. You want to advertise EDF? Then do what I said to do. Create an item in your port, with a description of what EDF is, a call to submissions and the link. The post that item on the various forums in peoples ports that don't object to ads. You'll have to spend a lot more time on WDC to find out which those are, however, as you're not real familliar with the site.
Also, you can set up any item in your port to be sponsored items. That means you pay people a certain amount of gift points if they review it. You can also spend your gift points for bid click spots for an item. That puts the item on the left side menu and across the top as long as there aren't too many others bidding higher than you are. Your ponits get spent every time someone clicks on the link to it.
You can also pay real money to WDC to buy real ads. They go into the newsletters.
WDC is a useful, powerful site, if you get familiar with it and use it right. As long as you've got a negative attitude toward the site though, you'll miss out on most of what you can do with it. | | Back to Top | | |
