Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it.

Spammer

Continually edits the Derby Owners club webpage to include only 2 websites. 1 of which contains illegal information about the game. 1 website is doc.rbcb.net and the other is expertdoc.flex.com. Why is it that no one else can add an external link, even to the manufacturer of the game?

You act as if you have been driving a truck all day and have a bug stuck in your bum!

• - - Apparently you have me confused with someone else. I have only 6 contributions to Wikipedia, and I have only deleted one link, which I replaced the following day. --Jwpitts3 (talk) 11:56, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Derby Owners Club

Is it necessary to keep adding websites that have illegal information on how to defraud arcade games in this section. Please add this to the wikipedia spam. Also, is it a viloation of the Wikipedia guidelines to promote a website that encourages defrauding arcade games?

The following is an example of how to utilize technology to create cards which are not created by the arcade game itself. I can tell you that any arcade operator in the business would frown on such publications.

This is your last warning. The next time you insert advertising or a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia.

Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia to advertise you will be blocked from editing.
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

I am thoroughly confused by this. Over the past few months, an video arcade owner in Texas has made a number of attempts to undermine a community of gamers that play Derby Owners Club internationally. He has changed the links that we posted to our message board so that they don't work. Then he created a website with a similar address; ours is www.doc.rbcb.net, his is www.doc.rbcb.us. Now apparently he has convinced you that our website is a spam site. Please read all the things on my Talk page (it is barely 1 page long) and I think you can see that I have no intent here other than to invite people to find our site for discussion and camaraderie.

This other guy is trying to have his site linked, and he is selling thinks to profit off of new players, while at the same time complaining that we are doing the same thing. The comments you see on my talk page are from him.

Thank you for your time. --Jwpitts3
