Not that linking to a reputable source is a bad thing, just linking to your own site (in every post where help is requested) is typically considered spam. There are many types of forum spammers. One of the more devious types of spammers is the person who looks for forum posts with questions that are similar to their own site content and then instead of posting an answer directly on the thread, they post a link to the answer on their own website. On the surface, this might look like a helpful link, but over time, you will see that the only site being linked to belongs to the person posting the 'helpful' link. So in that situation, they are obviously only on the forum to promote their own site and get traffic/backlinks and not really be helpful in any other way. Not that linking to a reputable source is a bad thing, just linking to your own site (in every post where help is requested) is typically considered spam.
