there's a few similar ones - such as mine on SFI affiliates, i didn't put my referral code in that post, but made another post in the affiliate section...so would it still be breaking the rules to pop in a link to the affiliate post?
To keep the
HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE forum unbiased, affiliate links are not permitted and it is clearly stated. This is a popular forum where genuine advise exists on how to make money online in hundreds of different ways.
So long as the post referring to an affiliate topic is not seen as the thread being hijacked only for referral purposes, and any administrator or moderator will decide this on a case by case basis should the post be reported or otherwise found. I myself refer and link to other threads and other websites or blogs for further information, and as long as the linking is in context to the subject and conversation and not seen as hijacking the thread of course it is fine to do so.
The main point is not to post affiliate links in that forum. They will be removed. Of course this includes any affiliate codes, bonuses, website re-directions or other offerings. If a website requires a referral code then a new topic will need to be posted in the appropriate forum called
AFFILIATE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES and referred to in the original post simply stating that affiliate links cannot be posted in the HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE forum. Other options too are for your referral code to be sent by PM or put in your signature.
If members need more forum help, just as you have done ask a question here first to avoid confusion. Members should be aware that answers to site policys can only be answered accurately by a Money On Computer Forums Admin, Moderator, or otherwise approved member, and a always current list of approved MOC members who can answer your questions can be found by following this

Thanks, hope that clarifies your question genieswish!
