Affiliate Links In Sigs

[jmiller]

Okay, so affiliate links are not allowed on these forums right, except for in ads and offers?
But what about in signatures? I've noticed many signatures containing misleading, affliate ads and mondered if this is allowed?
Seems to me that it is very misleading having an affiliate link posted as your "homepage" or in your sig. :confused2

No, they're not allowed in sigs either... if you see a member with one just report it to a mod/admin and they'll take care of it.

It gets rather annoying when you click on a URL in someone's sig only to find out its just an affiliate link to a popuplar service you have already seen. :angry2:

What's wrong with that?

It is against the rules of the forum and also against the TOS of affiliate programs.

Send a PM to Peo or Todd if you see one, or send a trouble report.
