Link for the Samaritans removed?

I've had a link in my sig for ages for an email address to chat to The Samaritans. As someone who had a family member commit suicide, this was important to me.

It has been removed without comment or message to me. I can't believe Martin would have taken offence at this - what's going on please?

    The explanation left explains why it was removed. You need permission to have a link in your sig.
    Gone ... or have I?
  • what a shame - perhaps it would be worth contacting a moderator to see how you get permission?

    I expect the rules are there to stop people postting links to busineses and money making schemes, not to a national and well respected charity.

    Thanks Nile. I imagine a mod applied the rules with a little too much zeal.
