If someone asks for something and i want to recommend a site, can i include my referral link or is this against the forum rules?
i think it is against the rules yes , you are allowed affiliate links in your sig , so you could probs just point them to your sig link or even pm them ( without spamming ) of coarse
no worries , glad i could help , affiliate links are defo not allowed in your posts , only in sig links , regrads karl
Well you can use those link under Signature place only otherwise your link will be deleted by team. May cost infraction point.
Referral Links are not allowed in the posts . If hes asking for it then you can send him via PM but yea dont go for PM spam
They are allowed in your signature links(or you can keep them in avatar and location spots as well) but they arent allowed in one way or other in threads, posts and PMs
If the receiver forwards it to a mod, then surely you will get an infraction / ban. But it depends on the words used and on whether it is actually helpful for the receiver or not. But the best method would be to give him the direct link and the referral link / code and ask him to use the latter. We are giving the receiver an option to use the direct link or not.
Referral links are just nowhere allowed except in siggie or location spot. If someone reports your PM, you aren't gonna be saved from infraction.
