Ok fair enough then, but i was referring specifically to the pirate galaxy forums not the wiki. The official pirate galaxy forum rules and the wiki rules are not the same and would have their differences.
I was going to put this in my last post, but i kept it brief. I think the main reason for rule #5 is to stop the advertising of such sites that have no relevance to pirate galaxy what so ever. Like dating sites, online shopping and sites that supposedly offer cheats/hacks etc and are only 3rd party programs infested with key loggers.
I think most fan sites do have some kind of logo/link like that if the owner/creator uses a free website builder. YankElves has a small link in the bottom left of his website linking to webs, Yola is just alot more obvious sitting right in the middle at the bottom of the page.
However if ghost69 has spammed Yola or whatever all over the wiki i think that is up to the wiki moderators. Spamming Yola ie. actually linking directly to Yola and not his site is different. I don't know how you can spam it but he may just want his site put in the external links of the wiki as a reference.
