Title: Can i pay people for using my referal link?
Post by: stingers on February 04, 2016, 05:52:05 PM
I know that creating threads just to promote referrals is not allowed. But can I ask others to use my referral link and then pay them for it? This is actually like doing business. Is this alloweed here or not?

AFAIK paying for referals is fine. At least it was in early 2014, might be a bit more strict now.

I've seen threads that publish a ref link and offer to pay those to click it get deleted because of ref spam. That's because whatever excuse users give those posts were created to promote ref links.

If you create a thread in services offering people to pay them to click a ref link but do not post the link itself then you should be fine. You can include the link in your signature or ask them to PM you if interested and reply with the link.

You can have deals in the services section and pay users for joining under your referral link but you need to ask them to either message you or they can message you for the referral link. You cannot share the link openly.

Badbear said that's called referral spam. Only sharing referral links via PMs are allowed unless the user is the owner of the website.

I see that many signature campaign allow you to put the referal link in the signature, so i think it is allowed. What about my signature that i have currently is it allowed? Of course yes.

Having a referal link as part of your signature is allowed, creating a post just to refer to the signature is considered ref spam.

What can be considered as spam?
If you openly ask people to join services you are promoting?
Or off topic comments ?
Sometimes topic can stretch its boundaries, especially in economics and discussions..

Promoting them openly in your thread or someone else's is against the forum rules. But you can put the referral in your signature, or send a guy the ref through a PM.

As said above, it's ok by forum rules under certain conditions.
One the other hand, it depends on what you are promoting for your dust.
If it's an obvious scam, then you risk getting grief from self righteous assholes like me, who believe that shilling for and promoting shit is complicity in it.

Ok. I have pretty much got my answer here. If I want to do something like buying referrals then I can make a post about it but not post the link in public(I have to PM links to people). Thank you all for your help. Locking the thread now.
