Is it against Hubpages Terms of service to post twitter URLs in the forums?
In the Forums, I noticed there is a section under social networking where people are posting their twitter URLs to share with other Hubbers, I was going to post mine as well, but I am worried that posting a twitter link would be considered "promotional" and would violate the terms of service of Hubpages. So my question is: Are we allowed to post our Twitter URLs to the forum?
We are talking about the forum rules, which are the ones you accept every time you post there. The rule is not to post links solely for self-promotion. If someone starts a thread to get people connected, I think you could contribute to the discussion by posting your Twitter profile URL. Concerning individual tweets, presumably that would only make sense if the thread and the tweets shared a common topic - otherwise, the whole forum is set up for blatant self-promotion, and it may be taken down sooner or later.

HP probably has no problem with the concept. My guess is that implementation is just too much labor-intensive programming for them right now. They are probably buried in existing projects as it is.

Some of us are encountering an issue in the forum. On the front page, it will indicate that responses have been made since we last participated in a thread, but when we click on the name of the most recent respondent, rather than being taken to that response, we come to the start of the last page...

There are a lot of us who haven't been feeling safe on the forums. They've felt stalked, harassed and browbeaten.Sadly, some folks go with the letter of the law, but not the spirit of it in their posts.For an excellent post on why we need Forum Moderators, check out what Makingamark says here...
