Strange MODERATION : Dont post just links .

[prav_kr]

I replied to one of discussion thread. The content was rejected by an SCN moderator . The reason given was " Don't post just links ."

What should you want me to do -  Copy paste some others content ??

And if there is already a thread available which can answer the  question asked why I should not post the link ??

Seems perfectly sensible to me. If I see a post that mainly constitutes a link, with no additional useful information, then I reject it with exactly this comment.

Copy paste is an even bigger no-no.

What do I want you to do?

Simple: if the answer to the question can be resolved by a simple search, notify the moderator of the question, with that information. The moderator will then reject the question (if the moderator agrees with your assessment), and direct the original poster to search before asking questions.

Possibly with something like "check this link".

The link can lead to infinite loop if top search result is also linking to same thing, and I'm Feeling Lucky button is pressed.
