I just don't understand why some links are allowed to stay while others that are equally related to the topic are removed. If some are removed they should all be removed. Sande411 16:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Sande411}}

I think that a perma-ban is too harsh a penalty, since a careful analysis will show that at the end, Sande411 was starting to get the Wikipedia way. However before that there had been relentless blanking vandalism. My advice to Sande411 is to register a new name and then to post carefully, observing all conventions, styles, and customs. Read up on the various Welcome pages. Be bold, but use common sense and don't get angry at anything, just work the system and you will have much to contribute. Hu 07:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it is too harsh. I had no idea how this place worked. To me it looked as though some one with self serving interest was deleting my post. It didn't make sense to me that my link was being deleted but the driftlive link was staying. I assumed it was them. All I knew how to do was edit sections, I didn't know about the discussion page or what creating an account would do. I felt like someone else was vandalizing the page and I was keeping the integrity by re-adding the link.

I created an account so I could see who was doing it, and then I saw I had a talk page and was warned by Hu to stop what I was doing because it was considered vandalism. So I stopped! Then I was reading about why certain links were removed and some were left and was trying to state a case for Drift411 when I was autoblocked. Now I am permanently blocked?!

I have read the reasons for blocking and do not think you have a just one for my permablock. I quote:

“Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia. They should not be used as a punitive measure.”

“Disagreements over content or policy are not disruption, but rather part of the normal functioning of Wikipedia and should be handled through dispute resolution procedures. Blocks for disruption should only be placed when a user is in some way making it difficult for others to contribute to Wikipedia.”

In no way was I making it difficult for other to contribute. And I had not "You have been warned about this many, many times." I was warned once. I was misunderstanding what was happening and corrected myself. And Persistent linkspam?! What is so open source about this if “the Gods” won’t allow a link that is related to the topic?

I think this place will seriously go to hell if you simply permaban someone for not understanding we you have going on here. Give me a break.
