Back in the days there was always links posted in the link development forum to help people build links!. Yesterday I found decent EDU forum that was not moderated. So I linked it in the link development forum. IT was there for 36 hours until I used the report button to report a spammer in that thread. Now I ended up getting an infraction and the thread deleted? I thought posting link opportunities was ok?
If you own the site, it's one thing... but if you are giving people links of places to spam other people's sites, that's another.
