7Because links to jsfiddle.net must be accompanied by code in the actual post.– J. SteenCommented Feb 25, 2013 at 9:27

10Lance Roberts gives the answer below; however note that a question that consists only of "Please check the code" and some code is not acceptable, either. It'll need to have some amount of description.– PekkaCommented Feb 25, 2013 at 9:33

2I was actually confused about it too. I thought it wanted me to mark the link as code, not add code from the jsfiddle link to the post– ottCommented Nov 11, 2013 at 14:06

In KISS-speech it's "Linking to jsfiddle isn't allowed, copypaste all your code in the post instead".– RoestVrijStaalCommented May 21, 2014 at 22:07

They don't want you posting just a link. You can post the link, but only if you post the code (or at least a relevant portion of it).
A full description of the reasoning behind this restriction can be found in Prevent posts with links to jsfiddle and no code.

7True, one big reason is that jsfiddle might vanish one day (judging by the fact that 99% of the time it's horribly slow that day might arrive soon) and then we'll stay with useless posts on Stack Overflow. Commented Feb 25, 2013 at 9:28
