I must admit I sometimes linked to WSOIN, however, I in a polite way. But I think my comments were more helpful than negative, they. They made those newbies adapt to the site faster and preventprevented that their mistakes wasted users/moderatoruser and moderator time.
While it is true that some of them didn't like this and probably left the site, it was clear that they would have done this eventually with or without these links to WSOIN.
However, a lot of people really crossed the line, it. It is never right to disrespect or leave comments that are meant to harm.
I applaud this decision, this. This was getting out of control and had to stop.
