While it may not be a scam in your opinion, it could be considered spam. Spam is not appreciated by the community and could be flagged or may result in action from the cheetah bot..
Some things that can be considered spam:
- Banner ads of any kind
- Referral links
- Repeating the same post
- Links to known scams, phishing sites, and other dangerous links
This was a first time post asking whether other Steemians have used this site and whether it is legit, I hardly see that as "spamming"!
I understand the job @steemcleaners @blacklist-a is doing but flagging a user is a way to destroy not just a reputation, but someone who is dedicated to the Steemit platform.
I will gladly remove the link, would you consider removing the "flag" in all fairness?
I post this in the past too and got not flagged... so I flagg this comment from @steemcleaners do you use different standards of measureing?

By the very definition of Spam, this singular post does not qualify, unless you want to rewrite the English dictionary: spam; verb
gerund or present participle: spamming
send the same message indiscriminately to (a large number of Internet users). The sending of multiple unsolicited e-mails or text messages, usually for marketing.
This post was clearly NOT spam, whether you think it is or not.
The Cheetah bot at least provides an upvote and links similar posts, rather than set out to destroy reputations on a singular opinion, something to consider for the happy community here on Steemit.

This is hardly spam, seems harsh to flag the post.
I agree with you on that
This is not spam. It works fine and the community should be happy to get information like this.
Honestly, I think in the case of newer members, a warning would be justified first, or a request to remove the referral link, if that is the main problem? Personally I appreciate what @steemcleaners does as well as understand and respect the need for it, but perhaps the line in the sand needn't be the final say for newer members? If the poster of the offending material refuses to rectify the situation, sure, go ahead and flag to your heart's content. This is just my view, with all due respect
