There seam to be many posts in GT where people are posting only links or pasted text
to start a new thread.
Could this be discouraged?
The forum should be about the opinions, views and interests of the members.
In my opinion nothing is gained from just slapping down a link or pasted text with
nothing original from the poster.

...Yer. That kind of post especially. Links with no description, opinion, comment etc.

There was an opinion, just look at that smiley!

Usually a picture tells a thousand words, but that smiley is just winking at me.

What would you rather have? One thousand insults, or one compliment from a round yellow.... creature.

It has been a little while since I have perused the rules, but I believe that blind links are officially discouraged. However, I do agree with Letum that all links should provide, at minimum, a description.

I am also dubious as to whether videos prevent written insults.
