Group: Gulls (Larinae)

Just discovered your group and as a gull fanatic I had to join.
A question...Although I personally never use comment codes or links I won't delete comments made on my shots that may have them. Will that prevent me from participating here? I will understand if it does although I don't belong to any 'Awards' or 'Post 1 Comment 50' groups, I do get the odd 'Seen In' comment left. Just looking for clarification before I spend too much time here.
