I was curious, is it against the rules to have my post in the swap shop link to a site that sells war game supplies?

It depends on the context - do you mean a link to a webstore that sells what you are also trading? Or do you mean that you are the owner of said webstore?

The intended use of the Swap Shop is for Dakka members to trade and sell wargaming related material - it's not really a place for professional businesses to advertise their wares. If in doubt, PM myself or one of the other Swap Mods and give us a little more detail about your intentions.

You pretty much answered the question actually, you can lock the thread. Thanks!

If it's a business you can certainly start a thread in News & Rumors, though!

...I dont follow....

I might have misunderstood - we have a lot of businesses who post in N&R advertising their stuff (as opposed to the Swap Shop, which is intended for individuals).

If it's just a normal store and not a sale or anything, it might not really qualify as "News" - but if you ever did have something newsworthy to post, that would likely be the place to do it.

Hopefully that's clearer, if you have any specific questions just PM me (or filbert above!)
