Wait a minute, do I understand that correctly? I'm not a native speaker, so I could be wrong, but isn't the wording of this sentence rather mistakable? We are encouraged to use free image-hosting websites (like Photobucket or TinyPic), aren't we? Doesn't the sentence state the complete opposite? |
We are encouraged to use sites such as Photobucket or TinyPic, yes. Ptrope's first sentence could also be written: "If the images are not hosted on webspace belonging to you (personal website/Flickr account/free image-hosting site) then do not post them as inline images."
All of item 1 could be further reduced to: "Posting inline images hosted on space not belonging to you is considered poor form and may be deemed warnable under TBBS policy; please don't do that."
