    Is there some part of forum where aff links are allowed. I posted aff link ( did not know its not allowed) couple times and got edited, but where ever i go i see loads of aff links staying. So im curious. The funniest thing was the thread where i droped my hostgator aff link :) It was edited, but the guy below me dropped his aff of the same hostgator and it stays. So thats kind off funny :D
    Me personally think that aff links is nothing bad, so that webmasters make extra penny, but when you see ones are allowed drop their links and others not.. :)
    I mean i am fine, just had this kind of mind now :)

    If you see other people's affiliate links, just use the report post link. There are no places in the forum that they are allowed (other than your signature).

    Good choice IMO. I hate those users who come in and make a post and it's about a service or program and in the middle of their post is an affiliate link. We in America call that spam, and we just don't like it.

    Thus, spam = we don't like. You + spam = We don't like. We don't like + you = BAN.
