Question re forbidden links

I was going to post a question re some material from rotten-dot-com, when I vaugely remembered something about that site being one of the ones that is forbidden to link to. I can't seem to find a list of what sites are forbidden, other than the "no refereral game links" rule.

So, questions:
1) Is rotten a forbidden link?
2) Is there a comprehensive list of forbidden links?
3) If there is such a list. can it be made publically available (if it isn't already, and I've just missed it somewhere)?

Thank you in advance. :D

If the site has adult, obscene or graphic material, it is forbidden.
We're not going to post a list, because invariably, someone will then post from someplace containing inappropriate material and then say it cannot be moderated because it wasn't on "The List".

Rotten(dot)com?

Most definately banned.

Thanks, both of you.

I understand Kat. However, it may be helpful to know what is banned. Would it be possible to have an list of the common offenders, with a caveat to the effect the ban isn't limited to those sites, and that all other sites with innappropriate material are also forbidden?

I could have easily gotten an official warning and/or ban for posting something that I though was innocent if I hadn't recalled a vauge memory that rotten was banned. I can easily see someone innocently posting the exact link I was going to, or something like the old FUA, and getting in trouble for not knowing the entire site is forbidden. (You both know I've been around for a fairly long time, and I wasn't aware that all links to rotten were forbidden.

Again thank you.

If one portion of a site is banned, the whole thing is out.
