On grounds of simple logic, I was sure that Naficopa must be wrong; at least, that is a quite twisted definition of “spam”.  (Compare what n.a.n.a.e. called “one bite of the apple” arguments by e-mail spammers who claim it’s not spam, if they blast out only one advertisement to millions of people who never asked for it, then “respect” opt-out.)  However, I did a brief search to confirm; whereupon I found that Naficopa was only partly incorrect, insofar as the ref link must be on topic (not merely “posted [only] once”):

Ref links are allowed if they're on-topic, which this is.

Then what if I'm the creator of the thread just like this👇
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5241953.0
(more likely Iam advertising Ledger's event) but instead of just the address of the contest,... will put a ref link. How can I consider that to be off/on topic, if the ref link will be put on the OP?
