Hi Robert, I'm confused. Please read in full to the end.

One of your editors told me last night, "New Writers Welcome accepts only ONE outside/affiliate link and ONE Medium link in each article." I deleted all my story links except one.

Then this morning I picked up a message from her that said, "I asked you to remove a couple (2) out of 5 links you shared. 3 being a fair amount". So now she says three stories are allowed.

She also sent me a broken link to prove her point, followed by a link to these guidelines, which say nothing about links except for affiliate links (I only had my Medium referral link, and I deleted it because I wanted to include one Medium story as my permitted Medium link).

Your guidelines say nothing about linking to our other stories, so for future reference, I'd like clarity, as the communications from the editor are very confusing.

Is it *one* Meidum story max, as per her first message, or *three* Medium stories max, as per her last message? With or without the Medium affiliate link? I don't have an outside affiliate link, so that's a red herring.

It's Mona who's sending out confusing messages. The private conversation is on this story, if you want to take a look. The lack of characters allowed on private messages might not help. https://medium.com/p/c0ae6cd4c1b0
