Are affiliate accounts allowed to post outside of the Affiliate forum? I saw ReduceTheRake posting in OOT, and I'm inclined to think it's not kosher. RTR wasn't pleased when I sent him a PM, though, since apparently he's posted outside of that forum (even before it's creation) and no one has said anything. Your thoughts?

Anyone with half a clue can figure out that ReduceTheRake =>
www.reducetherake.com and that it's a rakeback site.
I can think of no better form of free advertising then making regular high quality contributions to as many forums as possible. It humanizes you and makes you look savvy, established, and trustworthy. It sets you above the stereotypical moneygrubbing affiliate and it reaches a very wide audience of potential good customers.
It's really up to Mat whether he wants to allow this or not. These people aren't hurting the community but from a business perspective there are issues of site reputation and free advertising.
