Thats because of the very (very) rampant referral exploitation that we asked repeatedly for people to stop, and they would not. So now, we are "making" people stop it.
If you notice, I havent shut down every discussion about it, but invariably, people start either promoting it with basic "wink wink" PM me type stuff, or something else.
I dont mind if people are clear that it doesnt need a referral and point them to DCU website for them to do whatever, but anything that looks like referral is going to meet action, because of what I said before.
People simply would not stop when we repeatedly said "Hey TMC doesnt allow referrals like that, and yes we are well aware there is a financial incentive for people pushing DCU referrals so please stop."
This is not directed at the person I am quoting, but Anyone asking for a DCU referral or saying "PM me for a referral" is likely to get a temp ban, and if its a person I know has seen the previous messages it wont be a 1 day "get your attention" one.
