Why Is CoinURL Banned From Bitcointalk?

[BitCoinPokerBro]

Other than to prevent people from earning fractions of a mBTC by providing helpful links why is this?

Annoying redirection services are not allowed because they make people go through possibly malicious ads just to get to their content on another site. If one wants to make BTC, find another way to do it. Looking around the Services board is a start.

I guess that makes sense especially considering malicious intent of advertisers.

Although I don't find these links annoying now having clicked so many in the past on other site/forum/whatever. Years ago when link advertisements were new it sure was annoying. As far as malicious software people should be protecting themselves with programs like noscript or at the very least a decent antivirus.

Anyways, thanks for the info
