It has come to our attention that many user are hot linking images through money making websites such as adf.ly, these sites are BANNED here on KAT as you may only post direct links to images hosted externally!
~
Due to the rise in number of these sites being used anyone found posting such links will be instantly muted for a period of 2 weeks in order to remove and replace with correct direct links. Failure to comply within the two week period will result in your account being deleted, this does not exclude Verified Uploaders!
~
Since it would be unrealistic to ask users to edit thousands of uploads the date of 01/05/2012 has been decided as the cut off point. Any torrents posted before this date are exempt and can be left as they are, however torrents posted on or after will be expected to comply with the new rule with no exceptions!
