Regarding links in the HOL forum, Prof. Chaotica wishes to remind all students that they are allowed to link to only one site (via the WWW button); students may not have any links in their profile or signature. The link used must reference a G-rated, all-ages site that is in accordance with HOL rules. If an inappropriate link is found, 20 points will be taken from that student and the link will be deleted. If it happens again, it will be 40 points; the third time will result in the student being banned from the HOL forum permanently.
