SAMPLE SOUND REVIEW Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) I couldn't understand why I was reported and banned. But I guess I need to disclose if I am using an affiliate link and some people don't link bitly links. I use these links to understand my tracking information. I apologize for breaking any rules, I clearly disclose my affiliate relations of my website. I did not know I had to state it every time I shared a link. I saw other people not post this information and thought it was ok. However, I don't recall anyone warning me before banning me.

Lord Tim Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 This has nothing to do with affiliate links. You are posting this in the wrong section. The correct place is HERE: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/34-deals/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter - IK Multimedia Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 And it unfortunately seems to need to be made more clear: since I definitely needed to review that mod post linked above to learn, you might want to re-read and note that affiliate links are not allowed at all - it isn't about disclosing when you use them, it is about not using them at all with regard to affiliate links. I'll ignore the other stuff, when I was posting any deals (rarely since Lars always has the scoop, even on me the guy who works for IK LOL) I didn't use affiliate links but I'm also not allowed to sell in general per that post and I'm fine with that. I would kindly suggest to re-read that moderator post linked above and play by the rules of the forum which graciously accepts us. More unsolicited advice: This is a cool place for anybody interested in music (and games, and other topics, which makes it even cooler) so why not participate about something I assume you love? I have had some of the best times here when the discussion had nothing to do with IK, our products, or anything I'm paid to do (oops my superiors might not want to see that ). I've made friends, had great fun, learned a lot and hopefully shared some of my knowledge too along the way. I've also made mistakes, been emotional or whatever, furrowed my brow, but then got over myself and whatever bothered me or whatever I was embarrassed of what I did and always felt welcomed overall by the fine folks here. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't we all Pete. We all have views and emotions but I have come to enjoy the Coffeehouse section. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, you show a picture of the thread explaining exactly why I (and presumably others) marked your posts as junk: you posted them in the wrong subforum. And yet you still don't get it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMPLE SOUND REVIEW Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 I only posted affiliate links because I saw other people doing it. A warning would have been suffice- instead of an outright ban. Anyway, I don't care about posting links on this forum anyway- the point is I didn't get a warning and I would have stopped with a warning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
