Spamming Rules and Irreverent Links to Referral Sites

After seeing a ads from a certain user, it caused me to adress this post and possibly prompt some admins to add some links to the block list.

If a link that is not relevant to the question or the answer, it should not go in the content. Things like referral links to services like lockerz, swagbucks, etc (where you gets incentives for referrals) are not allowed and using this site to spam your referral or spamming your site may result in the suspension of your account.

Usually when I see questions like that I just change the link so it brings people who click them to a page not found. The original poster may not notice the change. This way people do not benefit from misusing the site. Afterwords I mark the post for someone with a better understanding to take appropriate action.
