In any event, it is better to post a link to the content than more than 1 or 2 paragraphs so we can see the link for ourselves. Multi-line pastes from (e.g.) MSN or Facebook (please use pastebin, if this is longer than around five lines), especially if these are only relevant to one person and obstructing chat. Use your common sense to see if it is appropriate. Please also do not use repeated auto-away scripts or now playing scripts (though the emphasis is on the **auto-** here, saying you are away or what you are listening to is normally not a problem) or scripts with excessive numbers of non-alphanumeric characters or colour. You may be asked to remove these scripts. | + | * Spamming, flooding or other noise. Posting links to generate conversation is fine. Referral links or links from strangers is not.
