@OP ATR's got strict rules for what threads can be posted there. I don't see the harm in yours, but I guess they didn't approve.
@Flux I've posted Twitter and YouTube links there with no problem. /shrug |

| in the actual forum rules it says only "tDOTco" links aren't allowed from twitter since they're shortened and could lead to anything, but some mods are obviously hired without even reading the rules |

ATR is supposedly aimed to being manage better. Which really they should have done in RT in the first place rather than quitting it.

@gao
i just don't see why her link would be deleted if it DID lead to something techincally roblox related. and now that I Made That is gone there's really not many othe rplaces to showcase it. |

then it should be allowed because WORD FOR WORD the rule sates "Exception: Site links that allowed to be posted on ROBLOX
*.roblox.com/ (anything that ends in .roblox.com is allowed) Youtube.com/ Youtu.be/ (YouTube's URL shortener) Twitter.com/
t(DOT)co/ (Twitter's URL shortener) is NOT allowed, as it can be used to mask non-Twitter URLs" |

"there wasnt a shortened URL in that twitter post it was just a deviantart link"
That right there is why they removed the thread.
Can't use Twitter to redirect to other places like that.
If you're linking to something to Twitter and not just linking to a tweet telling people to go to another link, that's not going to last long with the mods.
(Think of it this way, why keep the link restrictions in place if you could just use a Twitter tweet to get around it?) |

| What gao said, using a twitter ink to direct to another site is still a big no-no. |

@gao
only thing i don't get is that even though it's stated in the rules forum that "these are not on the rules," this seems like a pretty big one, since people like op trying to showcase something w/o any malicious intent are subject to moderation because they wouldn't have known if this is allowed or not. |

If I was a moderator, I'd amend that rule to include the disclaimer about redirects. I don't know why they haven't done so already, but expecting them to do the right thing is something I'm learning isn't possible for them to do.

okay
the reason why the thread was deleted was because of the deviant art link in it
i remade the tweet with the image uploaded in it instead of pasted in with a link
i put it in ATR and its not deleted

| it's really not that hard to edit a post either. the edit page is available for anyone to see and it basically looks like a word processor, something that would take a minute or so to do and save probably thousands of bans/warnings per month. |

@Flux It's an issue of them being lazy. Take a look at any sections that were involved in the renaming/merges last month and you'll see that many of them have pinned rules threads reflecting the post-merge names.
Their Edit Post page looks kinda weird. Every other forum I've used, their Edit Post pages looked identical to the normal Post one. |

| it looks weird, but really isn't that awkward to use. i just "did it" myself and it took literally 30 seconds. if only they could add some of these "unmentioned" rules and take a few minutes to help out some people. |
