A post advertising your own auction for christmas lights and now a post advertising an affiliate (albeit in a roundabout way!) tut tut

lofty_2

well i aint broken any site rules, the affiliate link is in the referrals area of the forum.

mink35

Dodgy way of going about it tho

lofty_2

PPL said that the last time but martin said it was alright as i had followed the site code of conduct. Is it a crime to promote discounts for ppl during the xmas period. Its not like im advertising something that wont give the customer something. i.e. the 5 quid voucher or the 2000 extra boots points (which was my last one).

mink35

Granted. But shouldn't you be up front about it?

lofty_2

Alot of ppl know what i post but if it would make u feel better ill try and put "aff" in the posts, is that what u mean? Im just a student. You any idea how skint students always are? even those with pt jobs (me). its not as if every post i make has an affiliate link.

mink35

Student? Been there, done that. Personally I'm not bothered how you make your money (legally please )I just feel you should be up front.

End of conversation?

lofty_2

heh suppose, I aint taken any of those gastly student loans so its maybe my own fault im skint. Dont like the idea of a loan yet!

Don't want to go off the topic but I'm a final year student and the Loans are great. Personally I can't see how I would be here without it! There is no interest on it just inflation. so a loan of £10000 only gains about £100-200 a YEAR, you tell me anywhere else you could get a loan with that rate!! ;D

he rules on the Referrer board state:

If you get a referral benefit - you must declare it: If possible indicate how you gain.

A poor student who can afford to buy 1160 sets of Christmas lights??
