Almost assuredly. Not even being subtle, considering he's linking, uh, gametable.org.

That said, I don't know if he's actually breaking any rules in doing so. It does sit poorly for me.

^ That's what I'm really asking, I guess. Is this kosher?

I'm pretty sure there rules against self promotion, but I get that, at the same time, they are putting their promotion in the places to put apps for the games in question in the respective pages.

He also deleted a link to another game with the Edit Reason "Flash is dead", even though the link is still working fine.

That is definitely not kosher

Okay, yeah; the gametable links might be permissable, but that smells of an agenda. I must assume they meant "Flash is dead" not in that "this is a dead link" (since it wasn't) but that "Flash as a medium is dead".

Not to mention the fact that even if a game were down, it can still be mentioned without being linked.

In fact, I suppose I would lean towards de-linking the game itself to curb self-promotion and just leave it as a mention. Also take out the "excellent" in there.

I've banned them. Please revert their additions.

We should not be providing external links to commercial content. That's not in keeping with our policy about promotions. If people want to search for games online, they should use Google.
