Pay for a classified ad, then set about risking it by spamming it to death on the forum in other people's threads thus risking getting it deleted and themselves banned

    Hi Kim,
    Funny you mention this as I reported a few posts recently for doing exactly as you say. I'm guessing that someone has told affliates this is a clever 'blackhat' way to get their links on this forum. Maybe they don't think we're that smart on here??

      Yeah I wondered whether some idiot has told them it's a clever thing to do.

      He's posted it on one of my wso's probably thinking it's so far back that it won't matter, (just get the link juice), but

      a) obviously I got an email as soon as it was posted and
      b) I was thinking of bumping that offer later this week.

      Obviously I can't until Sh*t for brains either removes his post or a mod does it for him. (I have reported it and given him an infraction) so hopefully won't be long.

      I felt a bit mean posting that he was a spammer on his ad, but then I guess karma can be a real bitch!!

        You don't have to be among the sharpest knives in the drawer to get into internet marketing, that much is obvious...lol.

        All you can do is keep reporting them until they either figure it out or get themselves banned.

        I've had other service providers post in my ad threads for their own services and I've seen them do that to others, as well. That one really ticks me off.

    The person might just be one of those online world terrorists that don't even care about their own lives.

    It's a suicide mission but maybe they don't understand what they are getting involved in - a dangerous risk!

    Yeah well the stupid moron got his complete thread pulled already, (I was bang in the midddle of a brilliant put down as well )

    Serves him right. Apparently he did the same to Spudz as well

    What a tosspot, I hope he lost his 20 bux
