I agree with you that they likely intended for it to mean the advertisements or mentions of sign up bonuses. This poorly written notice following two days after the quiet period announcement lends evidence to the theory that Prosper was rushed into a quiet period. I was not aware of the Lending Club referral program, so thanks for letting me know about it. The request to remove “any references to prosper” was certainly strange.

I suspect they mean advertisements. Just because Prosper is in a quiet period doesn't mean the rest of us are also in a quiet period and can't talk about Prosper. Prosper did announce they closed the referral program in July and then didn't actually close it - they modified it. As for the timing of the announcement, I think you are right. Many of the events of the past few days point to a quiet period that surprised Prosper. It seems like they didn't see it coming and were not prepared. As for some good news - you would be happy to know LC did open up a referral program on Commission Junction a couple of days ago. You should check it out. Brett,
