Phishing Links?
Hey Guys

Just wanted to confirm whether I am using links in the appropriate manner.
My typical post looks like this (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/14396009)

I would link to Backpack.tf (Prices), Wikipedia (Descriptions) & TF2 Outpost (Cross-Linking to my related items).


In short - would I be banned for using those links? Would they be considered phishing links?



Is it fine or am I breaking the rules - Just needed some clarification on the topic.


Thanks Guys for this great platform; Keep up the good work!


EDIT: CHANGED Titles from 'Over using Links ?' to 'Phishing Links ?'

That's not even close to enough links. Add in a link to all other strange bazaar bargains on outpost, another to the second cheapest, a link to stats.tf, a tf2items.com link so we can validate whether this has been duped or not as well as if it has been in any scammer's backpacks. I'd throw in your SOP rep link in there too.

Should have asked if the links were appropriate; I guess sarcasm was to be expected once I worded in like that :)

In short - would I be banned for using those links? Would they be considered phishing links?

By the way - The reason I post those links for weapons with STRANGE PARTS is that some people don't read and imply that I am trying to 'scam' them by selling overpriced stuff.

For example - I am selling a STRANGE SCATTERGUN FOR 4 KEYS (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/14326851) - Many people say it's a scam - Yet Backpack.Tf values the 2.33 Ref Gun with Strange Parts at 4.55 Keys.

Thanks
