Unhappy I know I am beating the dead horse but...

What bothers me most is the disrespect of TOS. I am not happy with condoning such behavior outside SPAM Forum either. Such referral links are for one's personal gain and nothing greater.
The most recent example today of such TOS violation:

P.S.: If you haven't signed up for bigcrumbs yet, I'd appreciate the referral: http://www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=XXXXXXXX
Alternatively, there is a conga in the S.P.A.M. forum.
The poster knows about the existing conga in SPAM but chose to post his referral link in MilesBuzz! Forum anyway (yes, I RBPed).

1. If the problem arises from some ill-defined policy, please fix it.

2. If it's due to poorly publicized TOS/policies, please do something about it. And do it fast.

3. If it's disrespect of TOS from the members, please enforce disciplinary action consistenly.

What's good for a policy or TOS when members choose to ignore or not comply?
