Quiller, from April last year until about a month ago, questions like "AoC+UserPatch or HD" were discussed there almost weekly. As I said, as per about a month ago, they've started deleting (!) - not just editing - every reply mentioning non-steam patches / events. Also, "As per Steam's Code of Conduct and Microsoft staff's wishes" makes it pretty clear.
They're factually selective in their censorship (aok heaven is ok, voobly is not, aoczone only sometimes) and I obviously never got a direct answer, which is my I'm considering "no advertising or any linking of third party sites is allowed at all on the forums" as their (disappointing) answer now.
Helen stated that the policy that community site are ok (yet Vooby links are removed):

I'm not sure if it is on purpose, but your picture only shows a question from you, not a reply from Steam or Microsoft.
