"4. No referral code (ref link) spam" is all I could find about that in all three sticked posts. But what does that mean?
1. That using of ref links in posts is totally forbidden? But I see treads like this that contains 50+ ref links and still is active from Sep 2014. And this tread is not alone.

Haven't you checked the sticky? It explains fully.

Hey. Referral links are actually allowed in certain threads, for instance if a person asks where they can get free bitcoins or what site should they invest in etc then it's ok to post them, =snip=

Sadly, now I have only a few minutes to reply so, I have to limit my observation and comments to ligeros 1st point. I'm not so sure a post of only n-faucet listings with referral links is OK per forum rules. The example in the thread pointed out by ligeros to me look at best suspicious since if you look at the original quoted version of azguard's post in the jontrue post no referral link at all was present, so added his own referral later by editing his own post. The edited links doesn't state that are referral so, If you give it only a careless look in the hurry to make some easy crypto, you don't notice clicking on a referred link. AFAIK, in similar case Mods acted against such post even deleting the whole threads when overcome by spam so, I suppose they may have not noticed the OP behaviour in the NEW - LIST of altcoin faucet - UPDATE 12.03.2015 thread.
I will look to Staff reply to further clarification about the rule, since they've the final say on them.
