In Reply to: I would have NEVER thought it a problem to link to ANY product offered for sale on the web... posted by Ivan303 on June 10, 2016 at 18:02:35:
I think if it's your own item for sale the Bored may take issue with posting a direct link to another audio site, but a one time mention is OK.
I wonder if this is also the case when mentioning that an item is up for sale on Agon that may be of interest to others, especially if it is a current or very recent topic of discussion. A mention is OK, but no direct links?
I know that I and others have posted direct links to Agon ads in the past if we thought someone might be interested in the item for sale which is what Cut-Throat did. But now we're hearing that direct links to a competing site is frowned upon, but a one time direct link to AA Trader is allowed.
It is ultimately left to the discretion of the Bored.
