Rules are rules but for example as far as i know posting your ref link in a post is not allowed but i have seen a LOT and i mean a lot of "giveaways" for registering under a ref link and that kind of stuff. How come thats allowed?
Well you could actually put your ref link in your signature and post with it. There would be no problems if you did just like that. And also, giveaways have a certain board for those things. If you posted on the wrong board, surely your post will be deleted. If you can show me a post that has some ref links on it, and it has some giveaways, I will believe that this forum has gone way too over-moderated. But if you can not provide any, well..
Rules are rules, anyway.
