I think there seems to be some confusion here as to whether referral links in a signature constitute a "commercial" post as defined by the FT rules? My own opinion is that they do, since the referral usually benefits the poster in some way, whether it's points, money, or some other "currency".
Or is there another rule that I'm missing that would prevent referral links from being posted in any forum other than S.P.A.M.?
So to bring this thread full-circle, if what I described above is the problem, does the TB want to a) eliminate the rule about commercial postings, b) keep the rule as is, or c) keep the rule and add referral links to the examples, d) keep referrals to signatures and S.P.A.M. only and nowhere else, or e) other?
