forum rule question

[spiderfate]

i found a map online for some video game, i love the style and was hoping to get peoples takes on how and what medium the map was created with. its most likely copy righted material can i post a link to it without violating the law or forum rules?

I don't think there are any laws or site rules against hyperlinking to another page for cartographically relevant referencing purposes (as long as its family material, of course )

Its how the rest of us share reference material with each other

I'm not a Community Leader or an Admin, though, so I won't be offended if you wait for that to be confirmed by one who is

[spiderfate]

this is literally my most favorite website, i dont wanna get banned.

Hey its ok - I understand.

When I first joined I was one for seeking a relevant authority for things I wasn't sure about.

You really haven't offended me - please don't worry!

With any luck a CL will be along to say its ok before too much longer

I don't see why that would be a problem. Post away.

[spiderfate]

any idea the proper forum on here to post that sort of thing?

There you go, Spiderfate

In case you are wondering how to tell who's what around here, a Community Leader is our equivalent of a 'Moderator plus' ('plus' because they do a heck of a lot more around here than most site Mods - like run award systems and Challenges and so on).

And you can see what people are by the title above the avatar image


EDIT: I would say the best place to post that kind of question is in the How Do I? forum, since you will presumably be asking how to make a map like this:...


EDIT2: If its just a discussion piece, though, a thread in the General Discussion forum would probably be more appropriate?
