Links Policy - WLSurgery.com

**Sambucca** · 22nd May, 2011

Recently we have started to see more links being posted from articles sourced from the internet.

Whilst many of these articles are interesting and promote healthy discussion amongst members, some are not so, and have been the cause of controversy and exchange of views amongst members that are not in keeping with the supportive environment we are trying to maintain here.

Therefore, we thought it was worth introducing a Links Policy so that everyone is clear on what is/is not welcome on WLSurgery.com to avoid any further confusion.

You must post the link to the article and not copy the text from the article.

You must post under the link your reasons as to why you would find it interesting.

The article should be relevant, current and from a UK source if possible so we can verify its relevance. If you wish to post an article that is not from the UK, then please PM a moderator first so the link can be approved.

Any links which contain links to forums will be removed without notice or explanation, as this is in breach of our forum rules.

You're not PG!

Can I get some clarification on posting the link to the 5 day pouch test site please? I never post it as they have a forum (the neighbourhood) but often see others do so without it being removed.

That one is fine Shel. Its been posted several times on here before, and we do know it has a forum attached, but as it is such a valuable resource to those struggling we have let that one pass.
