Hello, and welcome to Travellerspoint!!! You've come to the right place to learn more about travel and exchange ideas with people just like you: people who enjoy seeing the world beyond their backyards.
With the internet being what it is, I'm sure everyone has been spammed or received unwanted solicitations by e-mail. Isn't it fun to have to clear out your inbox when 200 junk e-mails find you?
So here at Travellerpoint, we try to limit the opportunity for spammers to get to you by asking you to refrain from posting personal e-mail addresses and promotional website links in any of the forums. This is a very effective way to reduce the possibility of receiving the dreaded spam, spam, spam!!!
And please take just another moment to review the Forum Rules. They can be found here: FORUM RULES
Thank you, and again, WELCOME!!
Hi,
I want to ask, about the rules here. I made one reference to one website, not mine of course, there were no advertisement or so, but anyway you deleted it.
In my advices, can I not refer to a certain website that describes a particular country, what to see there, what you can do so on?
Thank for the answer.

Generally speaking, if it's your first post and you're recommending a website, then we pretty much assume that it's promotional. There are lots of examples of people promoting sites on here who try to make it look like they are just happy customers. If we don't know anything about you, then we have to assume that's the same in your case. I'm sorry if we edited a genuine recommendation. I'd just recommend going easy on recommending external sites until you've posted a bit more on here so we know who you are

balderdash, adfabadam, welcome to the site.
If you want to discuss something other than the forum rules, you should start a new thread. Otherwise no one will see your question in this topic!

Hi Adam,
I can give you a list of places to see on SA's route 66. Problem is we are not allowed to post links here and if I name places it could be seen as a referral. Little bit of a problem.
Good luck

As in suggested towns to see? No, that would not be seen as a referral.

Route 66 is a set route from point A to B. You can't miss a town. What you can easily miss is important or impressive things to see and do. Adam should just first of all mention the country of the route 66 he wants to travel. USA or South Africa or where in the world is he planning to go?

Well, even mentioning attractions along the way would be fine. This topic should be posted in a new thread in the correct forum where that is clarified. It doesn't belong in here

Hi everyone! I'm new on this forum and I'm happy to join a community of fellow travelers! I like to say that I'm a part-time traveler because I'm a student so I don't always have the time, but when I do I make sure I go on an adventure! Studying American history, I love traveling around the United States (it's actually my next trip^^) but my dream would be to go to South America and Asia Anyway, it's my first time on a "traveler's" forum and I hope I get to meet awesome people and learn more about the wonderful world of traveling!
