It was trolling, which is not permitted.

Xploder, consider this a formal warning not to link to those sites. [I’ve broken the links.] Fenris’s summary of the rules is accurate to my recollection, although it left out one element, which is that we require “off board” issues (for example, grudges between two SDMB members that began on another board, or in real life) to be handled “off board.” We do not have a rule against mentioning other sites. We require mod permission for posts intended specifically to draw attention to other sites, and the gist of Seven’s thread was “I post at the snark pit, do you?” This violates the rule related to off-board business and the latter rule. It was trolling and it’s definitely not allowed.
