I am curious now. Is this allowed? Because the links were not directly shared

no?

Well I think this is just something "they don't like". I also mentioned Br*ckOwl
somewhere just to explain a point and it got removed or something like that
(don't recall clearly, but it was an issue).
It always makes me feel weird when Bricklink is being all "shhhh don't mention
to people that Br*ckOwl exists". I can only see that as Bricklink calling itself
a bad marketplace. It would make Bricklink look a lot better and professional
if they acknowledged AFOLs use different sites and tools at the same time and
didn't go all "shhh!".
Btw Mark I read your response on your page and I agree. It is not about "picking
a side" at all.

I have read the email the admin sent the now banned member, there were no violations

As people, we can be interested. But I have to agree. It is none of our businesses
and not Bricklink's businesses either. What links he places on his own, external
website is his choice.

It depends on the distance and it depends on how you define the distance. I have
two definitions at hand:
Definition one: the distance between two websites is the minimum number of clicks
required to go from one website to the other.
In this case, this distance would be three: first click on the link that he
provided. The second click would be on "fup", and the third would be on one of
his images.
Definition two: 1+ "the minimum number of websites required to be visited"
Based on this definition, the distance would be 2 because one only need to visit
mfav's website to get from here to the other website.
Bricklink follows the first definition. The rule that they follow on Bricklink
depends on the other website:
For Ebay, the distance cannot be more than 25018 otherwise the thread will be
cancelled.
For BO, the distance cannot be more than 888102 otherwise the thread will be
cancelled.
For Lego.com, the distance could me more than 99999999 for threads posted before
December 2019. Since December 2019, the distance is allowed, sorry, it is encouraged
to be one.

Hopefully not for long. But perhaps I can shed some insight as I have a background
as a photographer/videographer.
I can't say what camera, but for pictures like this a macro lens is required
to get close in shots with tiny objects like Lego. If Mark is using a DSLR of
some kind or comparable then shooting uncompressed photos will retain sharper
images.
I can't say what filters Mark used, but a polarizer filter can help greatly
with reducing reflective / semi-reflective surfaces like Lego.
And Mark is most likely using a light box of some sort or using white surfaces
of some kind to bounce the light for even lighting/softer shadowing.
Hopefully Mark will be back to elaborate but hopefully this information is helpful
in the meantime.

I really appreciate the work you are doing to collectively identify, organize,
and call reference to all of these clips. I don't think BrickLink will ever
have a need to recognize so many variations, but your resource is without a doubt
a huge benefit to all AFOLs. Very nice work, Mark.

What I meant to say was that the part comes as one complete unit in the sets
directly from LEGO and is counted as one part by LEGO. There is no need to assemble
it, and it is not meant to be disassembled. I was rushing through messages before,
so I didn't explain it well enough.

Good find! It looks like bag #2 comes with the red chassis that already has
the red 2X2 plates with small pins attached.
