I was perusing some item pages when I noticed that some posters seem to be putting pay-for-goldmaking tip pages in their sigs. For example:
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=29434;page=1;howmany=50#m120244182738653608
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=29434;page=1;howmany=50#m1196962554158608603
Is this acceptable, or should we let you know when we come across them? They're not "goldselling" sites per se, but I personally frown upon someone trying to capitalise on tips and guides that are already, for the most part, free of charge on sites like Alla.

That's kinda naughty.
And bitefite? really? that's kinda sad.

It's been banned before. Actually, I think that's why most RMT is banned, because of the anti-advertising policy.
No, most RMT is banned because of our anti RMT policy thank you very much.

I remember someone posting asking to ban someone for discussing RMT with a link, iirc(Aegis I think) and they were told it wasn't bannable unless it was advertising. And I know other advertising gets banned.
May have leapt to a conclusion there, though.
Edit: This thread.

the ban on rmt links is based on a ban on spam.
I don't give a hoot about someone linking to them if they're trying to talk about them rather than sell people sh*t they don't want. (since the distinction is very difficult to determine automagically, it results in a ban on links to them)
Aegis linking to various rmt sites isn't a product of him wanting to sell you gold. (Least I don't think so although I haven't reviewed every post he has) It's a product of some deep seeded bitterness, which I think he has a right to express.

Still not clear

Talking about RMT is not the same as promoting RMT. "Hey, I think RMT is evil because X, y Z" won't get you banned. "Hey, i think RMT is good because X. Y, and Z" won't get you banned though it will probably get you karma bombed. "Hey, buy gil/gol/plat/etc from xyz.com" will likely get you imploded.
Conversly, if someone were to post a link to their website advertising something legal and game related, as long as they didn't spam it, it would probably be left alone. Example, if someone made a new guild website hosting service that they wanted to post about, then that would be fine.
It's a fine line. Basically if you are annoying our users you will be shown the door. If its something worthwhile it will likely be allowed.

I was actually just considering reporting you for the lulz, as it were.
