Why is it that forums ban each others names?
I know it happens here a lot with 90% of similar forums, but i honestly thought it was just WF admin being a bit moronic. I recently realised i was wrong though, as i visited two other forums (one was wrasslin, one was something else i cant think of. I think it had something to do with replica belt collectors though. Im really not sure) but anyway, on both occasions i seen members warning other members not to post links to different forums.
Why is that?
I mean.. If you wana go looking for a forum about something, Google will usually pull up an answer for you. Its not like this is a physical place and they dont want us to go somewhere else.
I understand WF and RSC are connected, too, and having other forums with competing retail stores is a bad idea, but some i dont get.
Why ban the name fig anom ics? they dont have a retail store (to the best of my knowledge) and if they ever post any new pictures, they surface here almost immediately anyway.
Surely both sites would be better off working with each other and not against?
Can someone give me a hand trying to work out why forums do this?
It just confuses me.
*edit*
By the way, the title of this post is to entice admin or mods in. So i can get a proper answer. I dont wana PM admin, cos i reckon they're busy enough with constant PM's saying "delet dis basturdz!!" so i just made a thread.
