I think affiliate links should be banned or restricted from this instance (self.main)

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.

Agreed. Genuine suggestions often are higher quality as compared to an affiliate user with an motive on selling.
