Is giving them away also not allowed? It is just a few bytes.

Saying "that iso site" is in a grey area, but saying "that iso site" (replace that with 3ds) is clearly breaking the rules.

 

That's why I said it's in a grey area.

From the rules
>Members may also NOT mention torrent or warez-containing sites or channels by name or
>otherwise

You can see that it is probably against the rules, and so I never even say that. BUT I never see mods enforce this by deleting posts recommending use of "that iso site" So it's in a grey zone as it's de jure against the rules, but de facto permissable.

However anyone would agree "that iso site" (replace that with 3ds) is clearly breaking the rules. He's just flat out writing the name of the site, albeit a little jumbled.

It's like saying "go to xxx.com, replace xxx with warez4lyfe"

 

I have over 1200 posts, and probably 10 of them are rule related.

I'm just looking out for the people posting. If I tell you, you can edit it and not get a warning (unlike if a mod sees it). I don't report people unless it's real spam/actual links directly to roms. I didn't report this guy either, just a heads up about what's not okay.

You don't have to be mean about it.
