I have seen it generally mentioned here that “external linking is not allowed” with no specific context. In reading the rules as they are currently posted, however, it does seem like there is specific (and reasonable) context to this policy.
Within the AMS 2 forum, the creators of skin mods are almost constantly asked how to install them or for help in doing so. Reiza Studios maintains a pinned thread on their own forum that contains basic instructions on how the included livery override system within AMS 2 works. The thread is from one of their own staff members so it is more or less “official” information. It would likely be quite helpful to skin modders if they could link to this thread on Reiza’s forum when they post their skin mods here on RD. Would this specific act of external linking be something that is allowed?
I’m purely a mod consumer, not a creator so I have no real skin in the game (pun intended). I just have sympathy for the mod creators that keep getting asked for the same help over and over again.
