I'm guessing link shortener + cam site means you were hiding a referral link, right?
I don't think so,
it was just a bitly link, I use it for simple traffic/hit stats. I may have included a model sign up link which, yes, would have been a referral. I know that's a no-no now. But I don't think I would've included it because I doubt there's a large cam model demographic here. It's been a while because I was hoping to get an email back about the ban repeal and my topic was deleted so I can't refer back to it and know for sure.
Monetizing links aren't allowed. You can use Google URL shortener if you want to track hits.
What do you mean monetizing? Like Ad.fly? Bitly doesn't pay out for clicks. How/Why is the Google URL shortener any different?
Yes, like Ad.fly. It was a warning. There won't be problem if Bitly doesn't pay. It was a suggestion but well, the setence was phrased badly.
Also, if you shorten a referral link and post shortened URL, it will be deleted if someone reports it. If you do this, a few times, you will be banned.
