I agree. The issue right now however is that the comment on that page is also not acceptable: "...i don't care that this is your user page you still are on opensuse.org and i would consider this NOT to be acceptable content.--John_Arson" Says who! John Arson the Vigilante? Under what authority? Because he believes so. This would lead to chaos, if we continued this way. It makes it personal, would lead to escalation as people get offended. This comment should have been neutral (this user may have what he thinks is a valid business model, and is a SUSE user with useful contributions), the message should be that he is welcome but not his links. I would have put a comment as follows: Please note that the links you recently added have been removed as they breach the Terms of Site for commercial solicitation. The Terms of site are available here: http://en.opensuse.org/Terms_of_Site Of course I suspect that we will never see this user again, and it was created just to create links to his sites, to improve link ranking in Google. But that should never be the assumption when dealing with users. We must have a friendly inviting atmosphere on our wiki, this means that a code of conduct applies to us regulars just as much as the newbies, in fact more because we have no excuse.
