You give infractions when Cligs are used (educate yourselves)

I read the sticky and I want to make clear that I am not bitching about the infraction that you sent me. I just want to inform you of why it was inappropriate and baseless so that maybe you can fix the problem. Yesterday I posted a thread about a new PPC company asking if anyone has used them and if they are good. I put a link in the post.

This link is what is known as a Clig. Cligs Analytics shortens URLs and provides tracking. This means that it allows me to track how many people actually click on the link. I do this so I will know if people are actually paying attention to my post, so I can gauge if I am just wasting my time by asking for advice/opinions on this forum.

Your POS software flagged this Clig I guess assuming that it was masking an affiliate link. The URL of the website that I was forwarding to is their main website and they don't even have an affiliate program. Now I don't care about the infraction, I'm just telling you this so that maybe in the future you can avoid pissing your valuable members off by not understanding the difference in a clig and an affiliate link.

Send me an infraction for 'bitching', I don't care. Get your stuff straight, damn. Yes, it pisses me off because I was just trying to get advice and you deleted the whole thread for no damned reason.

 

Masked URLs (TinyURL, etc.) of any sort are not allowed, and are given infractions as affiliate links. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with our rules and policies prior to "bitching".

The moderator who issued the infractions did so correctly. Next time please send a message to a moderator if you have a question about an infraction.
