Fair enough Dave. As you say, anyone joining Yougov may get a cash benefit themselves eventually. A while ago someone on BCUK publicised a Nikwax competition where everyone got a free sample and I was one of many who benefitted from the info.
I have been on a forum where a new member with no previous postings had obviously only joined to make money by posting links to referral schemes like this. So that maybe makes me a bit sensitive about them. I'm not really bothered by a respected, longstanding full member publicising this sort of thing, but I wouldn't want to see it setting a precedent for people who might only join BCUK in order to get more referrals.
