What is allowed on WA?

I noticed recently posts about affiliate links.

Kyle and Carson have a specific policy that there is no advertising. Would you have joined WA, if when you logged in, was populated with articles to buy products or services from our affiliate links. No way.

Kyle encourages us to share links on our website to get comments. If you happen to take an interest in the link, fine but it was not intended to be advertising just to get your comments.

Same holds true if someone discovers a new Wordpress pluggin developed by Dr. DJ. Writing an article here at WA and giving link for us to check out info on the pluggin which links back to Dr. DJ's site. I see no problem. You are not promoting but sharing information. If Dr DJ product allows affiliates and you point us back to Ms. Susie's website to get info, then you are marketing to us and that is a no no.

Lets say your grandmother makes these great pies. You have helped grandma build a website to sell her pies. You let us know about the pies here at WA by writing an article and providing a link to her website. That is promoting directly to WA. That is for sure a no no. If you want to let your friends know about it, post it on Google+, Twitter or other social media. No harm there.

My advise is if there is something you want to share that could benefit a person other than the original company or person do it on social media and not on WA.

Let me know if you think of any other possible no no promotions.
