Where to draw the line? If the link is to support an argument or to reveal a certain idea within context, then it's fine, it would be better if it is provided with a discussion, and not only a link on its own.

The intention behind it is what matters, and ask yourself, if this link is posted, will it enhance the quality of your forum?

I really like your view. I think I'm going to imply that idea to my forums. :-)
