I noticed this Wealthsimple Community pop up in my “active” list today.

Clicked in and noticed its empty, but the sidebar contains a sneaky affiliate link for the moderator of that community.

Same thing with the Wealthsimple Trade Community.

I think this sort of activity should be banned from here tbh, definitely at the mod level.

    While we’re at it, can we ban amp links and other url tracking in general?

    No punishment for doing it, but maybe have a bot to remind people.

    To clarify, I’m not engaging in whataboutism, I think both of them should be banned (though maybe sometimes affiliate links have their place).
