Twice now, I wanted to help a member looking for something by posting the link to the Sulit website. The link appeared in asterisks.
May I know why the links I posted have been censored?
I feel strongly against censorhip in forums on benign matters such as links to help members. I can, of course, accept that offensive material or misposted commercial content be stricken. But my posts have been sincere and harmless, I cannot understand why the links were asterisked.
Here's a sample below. The link is for a welding angle clamp at Sulit.

Re: Censorship
Sorry Ding about your frustration on the links you'd post and finding out it doesn't connect. I have done that before several times and would get the same results just to assist other members find sellers. I have stopped and have come to realize that links from sulit.com doesn't really work with PHM.
I think there is no censorship here, I suppose linking their website to this forum really doesn't connect or whatever so may I suggest you refrain from linking sulit to PHM coz it will just be a waste of time and effort. 🙁

Re: Censorship
Thanks, Rosy. But I used to be an IT man and I can only surmise that the site has some programming code written in it where the string of ...sulit.com is auto-replaced by a string of asterisks.
I hope the admins move away from disabling links to other sites. It just goes against the whole free communication atmosphere of cyberspace.

Well bro, that is up to the owner of this site/forum !! :confused:

Re: Censorship
Oo nga, Rosy.
Sorry for whining about this but I really dislike my own text from being supressed.
In that "other" forum, they initially suppressed my links to pinoyhandyman. I told them that I am withdrawing my membership as I believe such restrictions are unethical. The admins apologized and removed such restrictions and I continued my membership.
