Very few people have a problem with a template author adding a link to there site in the footer of the templates they make. However......
Adding HIDDEN links to a bunch of your social accounts in the footer is more than a little on the shady side.
Google penalizes sites with hidden links and there are probably people trying to figure out why they can not get their site ranked. Seriously what is up with that?

I used the report button on the template, I have no idea if this is something that the ZenCart team cares about or not but in my opinion they should.
