Okay here is a new update to the No link only threads policy as of July 26th 2018.
So the policy is if you want to post an link, then post with question ore your own view on that link, but please no link only threads anymore as posting links is to easy.
The policy applies to four of the boards which are History Discussion board, Off-Topic, the Alternate History Discussion board and the Alternate History and Creativity board.
If there is a thread already in existing and if the link is related to the post in question you can post it with out a problem as it does not violate the link only threads policy.

Yeah, I can get behind this.
I can understand if people want to keep their personal views out of the opening post to keep it neutral - but, even then, a summary is a far better starting point for discussion than just a plain URL.

That is why i have decided to this, a a summary ore a saying something about the topic before you post a link might help the topic then only posting a link and hope that people comment on the topic.
