As I understand it, the new rule aims to forbid the linking of websites which host content that fall in rule 7 of the general rules.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I know I'm being a bit pedantic here, but doesn't that technically mean there are grounds for banning DLsite links? It wouldn't be the first time some game is banned for rule 7 and is actively being distributed there. I understand the rule is most likely for unholy websites that focus on this type of content, but since the rule is relatively vague, I wanted to know what everyone thinks.

ah, I wasn't aware.

Still, I think you can take that part with some common sense. When there's a topic about missing a game -answer: it was banned, next post, "where can I download it?" ... then you giving a link to DLsite (or any sort of hint about) is likely no-no.

whenever else, giving links to DLsite for games that are indexed (allowed) by f95zone, or generally, then it should be fine.
Else, linking to google would be bannable offense, tmu.

edit: where the heck did that circumflex come from?
edit2: adjusting along Count Morado's point below

Note, not only can someone not link to it - also cannot name the site where it can be found. Hence, the "leading."

I know you know. But for those who do not.

And it's not really something new. It's been a long time that it was an enforced unwritten rule.

I guess that the recent rise in rule 1.7 banned games made the staff turn it into a written one.

It’s mainly for sites that cater to rule 7. If the site hosts other content it’s fine. Issue arises where a site might have a dedicated sub section for all said content. Like a dedicated page or sub site. DLSite, Ryuugames and the like are fine. As they do not cater to it.

you guys know of what sites I am talking about.

From my understanding the users of those site joke about the zone, so it wouldn't make sense to them to announce their site and welcome all the *users to their own site.
Shit, I used logic again on this site. I should go and visit my shrink, perhaps he can adjust my meds.:ROFLMAO:
