As a new-comer here (wooo, first post!) I stumbled across this thread after signing up. I personally feel like affiliate links should be allowed without any special requirements beyond what was already in place before hand. I can't speak for people here as I don't know them (yet) but in my experience forum regulars are usually very apt to report someone they see abusing privileges.With that in mind, a system where people with x number of reports or complaints against them gets their account flagged for moderator review seems plausible. Most of the grunt work is already done by the people reporting and the moderators would have far fewer accounts to review.This still poses an increased cost, but hopefully much less, and small enough to make it worthwhile.
