Christi,

Thanks for asking for clarity.

Legitimate questions and answers do earn the person the right to leave a link.

But there are people who... will ask an inane question just so they can leave a link. And there are people who will fly in, paste some text and leave a link, never to be heard of again. In both cases, the person has not earned the link at all.

There are also those who ask a question under a fake name, then come back later and answer their own questions by using a different name. With said answer usually involving a link

Those who moderate this board have seen it all and can spot it a mile off.

Just Participate as a normal person would and you'll be fine.
