before specifically clearing it with the RYL webmaster (Harley) or a moderator first.
I guess insig's question could be rephrased to ask under what circumstances would Harley or a moderator clear it?
Because my interpretation of that rule is that you can't post links without getting permission from the mods. But the mods could well decide that they give permission to anyone they know or who is known to the community. I'm not saying that is the mod stance on it, just saying it's not clear whether moderator approval is the norm, or only in exceptional cases.
