    Is it allowed to mention LES-exclusive promos on OGF? For example, if I post a YABS there, can I link to the promo page, or at least give the name of the promo? Or should I just keep that private and simply say "promo price"?

    Link to LES post.

    I don't see the harm in a link to LES exclusive post I guess, people have to be logged in to see it anyway.

    Mention it, link it, but don't post the content of the actual post.

    Maybe that should be included in the rules (or FAQ). I figured I shouldn't link directly to the promo page. What I wrote was just that it was a promo price but didn't give any details. Next time I figure it'll be safe to give the promo name and a link to the LES page. I just didn't know if there was some unspoken rule about not exposing LES providers to the MJJs of LET or something, since I know there is/was some bad blood.

    I think common sense applies, i dont want a rule for everything, if common sense fails, I will add rules.

    If it's in the LES Exclusive section, the rule is in the section name, really. This section is transforming anyway; it now only requires that it is posted here first, nothing else. The entire section may vanish in time. I am going to apply the new karma system to it if that does not add some life to the section, it will probably be removed.

    Initially It was just a place that allowed higher prices; it was not well considered back then, and it was never really used much.

    I am trying to move away from any sort of strict management and overregulation. I spend a lot of time fighting against it in my personal life in many directions so I don't really want to impose anything here if possible, in an ideal world, there would be a 1 line rule here: "Apply common sense, don't be a dick" :)
