Ezine Articles: Do Links Have To Link To Same Theme Content?

I might be wrong here (I kind of hope I am), but I seem to remember receiving an email from Ezine saying they have changed their terms, and that if I write an article and place 1 or 2 links at the bottom, in the resources section, these links have to link to content that is on the same theme as the article?

Is this recent change in T&Cs true or am I imagining things and they don't have to be related?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, resource links have to be related to your content. Otherwise they will not approve.

It makes sense although not the best news.

I ain't received email from EZ like this and i ain't find out anything related to it from Editorial Guidelines. Don't scare me if you cannot provide proof

When did that rule come into play??
I recently did a few articles just before Christmas - resource boxes were far from related to my content - and the articles were approved.
Can someone confirm this - as Ive scoured the site and cannot find any mention of it

Like I say I may have thought I read it, when I didn't. I just remember reading something and thinking 'well, that makes sense, but a bit of a ball ache for my MFA (Made For Adsense) sites, as article marketing is what I do the most - I write about subjects I'm familiar with, and link to websites which are off-theme, but need backlinks.
