With that same argument, someone may note that the Scythe SY1212SL12H-P PWM was the best fan for the job.. however it wasn't available through Amazon and the runner up was a fan available on Amazon, [affiliate link here]. Some people don't want to e-mail a company and negotiate for a fan over e-mail, they'd rather just pick one off Amazon and add it to their cart along with all the other crap they are ordering for their SFF PC.I think the community can pretty easily moderate itself on extemporaneous referral links - to my knowledge most of the shoddy referral links (and rules violations for that matter) aren't really caught by mods on the prowl, rather someone reports them and then the mods deal with it. The community is pretty big on self policing, whether if comes to copy cat cases or spammers. I'd suggest implementing some guidelines like "Referral links have been allowed under a trial run - you are free to utilize referral links, but please only use them for products that are both appropriate and relevant. Posters who contribute just to generate referral links are different than a poster who generates content and then adds referral links - make sure you are the right side of poster! Please report any posts that violate this principle."
