Rules on linking

This discussion was created from comments split from: Forum Relaunch Feedback: Status Update.

Have the rules for linking articles changed along with the horrid format change? I have tried to like helpful articles for others and my post is not showing up. Of course I can’t really find anything so… however I do not want to be in violation of some new rule (or even an old one that I may have misunderstood). Please advise.

The rules on linking have not changed.

I cannot find The Rules on this new very difficult to maneuver format… can you provide a link? @skieurope

The rules appear as a hyperlink on the bottom of every page - no change there. The rule in question states:

https://www.collegeconfidential.com/policies/rules

why can we no longer posts link to college research websites…such as college results online or US news…

USNWR can be linked. News sites, college sites, and the like can all be linked. Sites that do not fall under those headings are filtered. Not a new policy.
