Just seeking clarification. I shared a coupon code that I found on another site to for cheap domains with a particular domain registrar which I am not even going to mention. There was no link whatsoever it mentioned their name and the coupon code you could use to get a discount. I now have an infraction for an affiliate link. I want to make sure I am clear that you cannot share any coupon codes on DP without getting an infraction. Since there was no link, and it was a promotion by that business which I am not even an affiliate of, I am assuming the fact that I shared the code got me the infraction. I want to make sure so I know in the future when sharing those on any other forums that I don't share them here because I don't want infractions. I was sharing in the spirit of community and didn't make a penny from any takers. Thanks!
Actually there are 3 major threads in B/S/T section in order to share coupon codes from GoDaddy , Name.com and NameCheap . You can easily share your coupon in these threads , But you have not open any separated thread for sharing a free voucher except in "Cheap Stuff" section . And note that if you make a new thread for (i.e) GoDaddy vouchers your new thread will be subjected to "Duplicate Thread" policy and you will receive another infraction . Hope it helps you
Getting an infraction on a forum ( due to lack of reading or understanding the rules ) is quite often. However usually infractions expire and you can post even if you have an infraction. So I think that what you did ( helping the community ) is good and you should do it even if you got an infraction. Just take in consideration why this happened and move on.
