There's no specific 'decision/rule' regarding that website at the moment (I haven't even noticed it so far), however, I'd say that it falls under advertisement spam (rule 24). I've also notified theymos and a global moderator right now regarding the matter. Personally, I support the removal of these links (when abused, not in general) and would advise that punishments be handed out to the users that have already abused it. I'll update this post with some information if neither provide direct input.

I don't have a clue how steemit works. do they get paid if any random person looks at a link or does the reader have to be signed in to steemit as well?
either way it's cheesy and blatant.

as far as I know yes. users gets paid thru the votes. its a win-win for steem supporters as they get to spam, spread the word and earn at the same time. This may force user to join the mess seeing how they can take advantage of this opportunity.

My understanding is that the "authors" get paid for "upvotes", so yes, the users have to be signed in and click some button or something. New users get some free upvotes but apparently the idea is that eventually they'll need to pay (once the premine runs out?). The whole business model seems backwards - get paid to spam, and pay to read? That leads to this (I'm not responsible for potential eye damage):

Ethereum Classic WTF
3 hours ago by rolik in ethereum-classic
Hello! My name is Roma and now i want to speak with about Ethereum Classic.
What Ethereum classic
When it is not added poloniex I thought that this is a bug but to my surprise there was no limit when it was apparent that at 4:00 he made 12 000 btc volume per day. I started to read what it is and it is ethereum on old blockchain to hardfork. I have only one question WHY?? if erhereum community decided we should all go jump is not necessary to arrange a circus if it decided to steal at least ethereum real name. After adeed poloniex on a day of classic 60K Satoshi Satoshi get up to 500K while 150K was volume btts. Basically this is a bad idea as for me and I for what would be a classic disappeared.
Mining of this clone is generally a separate topic. In normal ethereum my video card issues 12-13 mehahesh without overclocking and this shit just 3-4 Mh/s, I'm in shock as it really is when the same broadcast.
My opinion is that we must abolish the Classic and maintains that hackers dudos their pool http://www.livebitcoinnews.com/ethereum-classic-attack-pool-under-ddos-attacks/.
Now it will be very interesting because the clone still has nine claims against the devas in my ester are dirty rats stealing idea where they were when the eth was not popular ?? one word bitch. Now appeared a warning message in their official topic about ddos if you dont agree with my thoughts please write comments down.
P.S dont forget like my post

Totally agree! These useless links are becoming annoying...
Here is another way to look at steemit links - these are essentially hidden ref links, which AFAIK are not tolerated here.
I report stuff like that with "Indirect ref spam." as Comment.Didn't report many steem links, but might start with it.
An answer from staff whether or not it's worth reporting them previously would be appreciated though.
I've read the post now
+1, without having read anything besides the title.
Arghhh, wasted half an hour on that post.

In my recent trolling constructive participation in the ETH/ETC forkage I encountered many posts like these:
and this user has posted quite a few of these links:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/souleater123-239941
Seemingly on topic but linking to largely vapid regurgitation of content from other sources such as reddit. I have a feeling that these links are just fishing for tips on the get-paid-to-post Steem platform, which among other things has traits of an altcoin scam.
Random other Steem link spammers from other parts of Bitcointalk:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/nippel66-193791
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/krypto-876627
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/samusnimos-878682
Some are openly whoring for upvotes.
This is becoming similar to sig campaign spam except it drives traffic out of Bitcointalk and doesn't benefit anyone here. I suggest to make the links unclickable with the "[Suspicious link removed]" tag like it's being done with some other garbage links. If the content is relevant the posters would still be able to quote the text, link to original source (reddit, news articles), share it on pastebin, start their own threads etc.

Things are really getting interesting - ETC is just as legitimate as ETH - ultimately the market will decide:
Ether Wars - Ethereum Classic Price and Volume reach ATH:
