This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at GayVN Award, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

I re-read the external link guidelines and see that my link violated them by including a tracker. If I made the same text an external link directly to the website mentioned and without a tracker, would it still be a violation of Wikipedia's terms? HannahShelley (talk) 15:47, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
