Rules for advertising

[SVTCobraLTD]

On my site, personal web sites are ok but no business websites unless they sign up to be an advertiser. If someone is mentioning a business, that is ok but if they work there or are affiliated with them, it is not allowed.

[duh]

You're right, allowing URL can be hard because there are those who provide them only to get users, but it can also be a resource for someone. We can't provide everything as much as we would like to. Some suggestions can be:
1. Provide an area for it, or
2. Give specific rules on how it can be used.

On my site we have a classified section to allow businesses and personal sites (Items they make) to post their URL, otherwise in our forums the signature link is disabled, except for a section for forum owners.

Also people can always opt to PM if they are truly trying to be helpful.
