Referrals in Signature. Why not?

[wf?9]

Today two of KWWH Respected Members were banned temporarily for having forced referral cookie in their signature.

When I asked in ShoutBox I was told that we are not allowed to use referrals link. They also told me that it is more of a common sense rule & is not mentioned in any rule book.

I just want to know as we are allowed to sell our signature space(Few moderators are selling their signature space already). Also stated by Mr Happy Here



As a matter of fact the Fileserve advt above is actually a referral link.

I can not understand why we cant just have same referral link in our "allowed to be sold" signature space? (As far as we are not hiding them & using wrong methods to force members to them without their knowledge).

(I have Uploading.com referral link in sig atm & its almost same to advt above)

Anyone who's selling his signature space, is plain retarded. And about R-T and SJshah, I think it wasn't just about referral link, it was something about cookie stuff. But, I really don't care.

I don't give a fuck actually, but who cares? Try to find an other way to earn money
Goodluck everybody

Stop acting like kids. I only created it as it was not cleared with what we are allowed to do

Many thread were deleted and many were warned because of the same reason ,referral link.
and ya it should be added to rules


My suggestion is not to allow any kind of advertising or referral link in the signature or atleast restrict selling sig space
There is no point in allowing people to sell sig space but not ref link

Today two of KWWH Respected Members were banned temporarily for having forced referral cookie in their signature.

well deserved.i think they should also be removed from respected position too if its a temporary ban as its more about forced cookie (if it is true) than about the referral link like you have now

[wf?9]

Yeah raflamo I agree.... they shld disallow selling advt space also

From what I know, there was some code in their sigs which created a forced cookie for the site their sigs linked to. But I think the action taken by the staff was too drastic. They should have been warned once I guess. :/

I hope they are unbanned soon.

In other words: KWWHunction staff needs to make clear what the actually rules are...
Right?

[wf?9]

yes l0calh0st

[l0calh0st]

Then I completely agree, they need to point everything out clearly before banning
