Anti-referral rules

[Chippiewill]

I believe they should be extended to prohibit linking videos or other services with advertisements which the person who links the video profits from. e.g. posting a video on youtube by yourself which no one gives a **** about yet you make money off through partnership programs.

Naturally it's sometimes difficult to determine motives I believe this should be aimed squarely at a specific user on this forum who's sole purpose here seems to be to profiteer off the users of this forum.

I guess the same applies to websites, like nobody could give a **** about your Wiki?

People prefer different forms of entertainment. If you want to ban 'certain' videos then ban all forms of linking to other websites on here too, and mentions to products because people are making money from them.

true that, no offence but what is the point of having the wiki? I've never used it don't think many people have, apart from the editors ?

But then what would you do when you need to show an image?

Weighed up to the costs to run it and also how much effort goes into it, its pointless.
Also disagree with the rule, it would also be near enough impossible to determine who is doing it for the whole purpose of making money

Edit, if its aimed at bradtheladlong - i'm 100% in support
