Part of the confusion may be that the SPAM board here has a totally different meaning then the general Internet term spam.

I do agree, this belongs over there, it's a money making and referral thing, and don't see anything wrong with it, but it should be in SPAM.

Again, remember that SPAM here actually stands for something (don't remember what at this point) not the generally understood term of mail you didn't ask for, so it's not the same thing.
