About Posting Referral or Affiliated Link in Trust Reference link

Hello Admins, Staff and Mods. Do you allow members to post his/her referral links in Trust Reference link?

In my opinion it still is referral spam. If we start allowing that, then the question will become 'how much is too much'. It will be a matter of time before someone abuses it. However, since trust is not moderated unless in extreme cases of abuse, then it will likely not be removed (thus nothing will happen).

No, that shouldn't be allowed in my opinion but only admins can remove feedbacks. I'm surprised more people don't try abuse reference links with spam like that or phishing links to be honest. I PMd cyrus about it (though not 100% sure whether he can remove feedbacks but I assume he can).

Edit: Maybe it might be a good idea to only allow legit bitcointalk urls as sources. Would stop people being malicious or spamming ref links etc.
