Spamming links

Hi, and welcome to Grand Theft Wiki. However, it is clear that you joined this wiki just to promote your own site. And you even made fake edits just to be considered not a new user so you could add links - even when the page clearly states "Please do NOT add your own sites here". I have removed your links - please consider this a warning and contribute positively to our site. :) gboyers ^talk 11:46, 8 April 2015 (BST)

Very interesting. So everyone is supposed to bow before your completely subjective assumptions: "it is clear that..." How is that clear? Furthermore, my own website? Seriously? Do you have anything to back up your point of view or is it just a childish nonsense? ReiV (talk|edits) 12:03, 8 April 2015 (BST)

Okay, it's clear you joined to promote another site (whether it's yours or not). The evidence is in the Abuse Filter logs which show you made several attempts to add the links, you were shown the warning that explains new users can't add links, and then you made pointless edits so that you could add the link. Better? Either way, I have made it clear that we don't allow links to other sites on the Grand Theft Auto IV page, and our Rules prevent advertising, but you have reverted my edit. I asked you nicely, but now I must be firm. I'm very happy for you to edit this wiki, but please do not add links to other sites. gboyers ^talk 12:07, 8 April 2015 (BST)

So here we go again. "It's clear" - it is very subjective, but as a person with ability to suspend other users you must be objective, usually it is supposed to be a main responsibility of a moderator. If you are not objective, then you shouldn't have rights to judge other people in the first place. As for those Abuse Filter logs - I don't see how it is an evidence or can prove anything. Indeed, I did try to add a link to that site as it would contribute to the article and when I was denied, I decided I should contribute to wiki first and that would be even better, as I do care about this website's community. Here I am being subjective, but I am not a mod myself so it is okay to be so as a regular user, but I honestly believe those changes I made were better for those articles, as they made sentences sound more "fluid". And please explain, how is it forbidden to add external links, as that exact page already has at least two external links? Well, even that subsection is called "external links", and I guess "external" here stands for a reason. ReiV (talk|edits) 12:21, 8 April 2015 (BST)
