I really don't understand this entire 'discussion'... so they do not allow links because they can't check them all and seperate the good from the bad... I understand this.
I especially understand this because I am a mod at the Warcraftiii.net map making forum and believe me, it at times can be hell, some times I log in to find 20+ reports in my e-mail and having to check through them all is a time-consuming task, need I mention that the warcraftiii.net community is far better troll-wise and I can't imagine the work they have to do in the diabloii.net community to keep it more or less civil...
Some one said that it's like killing all humanity just to get rid of Charles Manson I can see why you said it but you seem to not understand the amount of work they put into the sites, they have work as well (for some of them at least) and it's a hard job to do (when talking at the amount of times they do it in).
A better analogy to describe it is:
Try to imagine you left a box full of apples in the hot sun and most of them were destroyed by the hot sun, there's a possibility that a few may have survived and are still eat-able but to find them you need to get through the entire box which is HUGE, will you check the apples to find the good ones which will most likely not be above 10 if at all or you will throw the entire 200 apples because you believe the 10 is simply not worth it? That's more or less what they do, you may be missing a golden apple on a few occasions and it is sad but it just doesn't worth the entire effort...
