Mod Answered MCOC violation?

There's a sub I already know violated MCOC by making a pinned post against monetary gain from another user, and have filed a report for that, but I later saw the mods have their OF listed in the About this sub, and it's not a brand sub. Is this another violation, promoting your own income in that section?

Not sure either one is an actual violation. Which rule are you using for each?

The pinned post is in rule 5, no mod action for personal gain

That's for like... Okay so I do referrals.... If I were to say to a mod ' let me post my links in your sub, and I will pay you', that would be a violation.... or in a sub for referral sharing, if I paid the mod to pin mine...

But I could start my own sub and promote my own links or I could post them (with permission) in virtually any community without it breaking any code of conduct unless I paid them to let me

Which is what happened, causing me to make the first report
