https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.04. No referral code (ref link) spam. [1]
As far as I can tell the interpretation of spam here is generally that you should not post any referral links. The punishment seems harsh though, I think mostly the posts just get deleted unless someone keeps doing it.
When I was a newbie I posted a referral link. That post was deleted and I received the typical email:
A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.
Nothing else happened. So, I dont think its just for posting a referral link.
It's a false ban for a "phishing link". Im pretty sure the mod did not even bother to check the domain, as the url was so long so he tagged it as phishing.
I hope that mods have logs of everything on the forum, as a moderator banning people without reason should not be mods as they have a certain kind of responsibility.
Banning without researching does not sound very responsible to me.
