It is not ridiculous censorship, nor is it "for the sake of it".
There are channels you can go through with the administration of the site in order to display links or promotions on this site for others, and you have chosen not to follow this up.
Personally, I feel that given they're from the Bulldogs officially, I don't see why you'd need to brand them with said website.
I have gone through the channels and have followed it up. All approaches were denied by LU. So requests won't be made again and I won't post anything up regarding the said website.
The reason they are branded is because we've gone through the trouble of gaining the relationship we have with the club and are lucky enough to have been able to receive certain things that others can't. Given we're the first website to get these images and be aloud to use them as we please we are allowed to brand them to help get people into the site, something we deserve for the hard work we do and to recognise that we were the first to release them.
The fact that LU will deny any linking from ANY outside website is ludicrous. When news articles are posted from other sports websites, like Sports News First for example, the links are blocked out. I personally find that extremely silly. It's not like other websites are aiming to put LU down for the count.
I think that direct advertising, like banners and signature links and promotions, shouldn't be allowed and we wouldn't allow it on our website unless permission was asked and given first. But if something comes from a website, such as a photo, a news article or a video, and the said piece of media has the websites branding on it (As pretty much every website does) then it should be allowed. Those are just my opinions.
Like I said, they won't be posted here and I won't bring this up again. I'll follow the rules of LU, end of story.
