spam refers to the content of the post.
IMHO posts which only exists because they want to share a ref link are spam.
if a post is valid and good AND contains reflink its ok (my opinion).
IMHO that rule is in place because if ref links are allowed there are more spam posts (content wise) and staff has more work to do.
I am also of the same opinion. As long as program being advertised is not against any rules for sites allowed to be promoted on this forum then why should referral link not allowed to be posted as part of OP? For that matter, I created 1 thread where I wanted referrals for DollarClix (GPT Site where users can earn by completing offers) & mexxer-2 reported it and some moderator deleted it saying it's SPAMMY. Since that day I am confused how was my thread spamming the entire forum? For me, all those users who post on any Newbie's thread to mark them as scammers just to advertise the campaign they are promoting in their signature are spammers but my thread which was supposed to be read by only those people who were interested in getting those 20 cents or something from me was not spammy at all . I did not put any misleading content as part of my post. I was crystal clear with my requirements but still that post was marked as spammy. Why? |

he will just ignore it or (when he has spare time and see it) write a small post in it. but nothing will change ;-)
IF you convince most of the admins (eg lauda) this might change...but it doesnt look like it as you are telling them you are not interested in their opinion
I am not interested only in mexxer-2's opinion as he is very very against of whatever I say. (Don't know why, maybe I was his spoiled son in last birth of something  ) Lauda left for others to convince me. So, I am looking for one logical explanation as to why Referral links as part of OP are spammy whereas downloadable links are not. I can post my referral link inside that downloadable link. would it not be spammy then? |

personally i am against referalls in sigads (and against sigads generally)
but its theymos decision as this forum is his. i only can voice my opinion or leave. i decided that this small annoyance is ok so i stay.
I believe, I am also raising my voice against against referral links as part OP to be spammy. Its theymos decision to listen to me or lock this thread & ask me to shut up  |

edit: btw if you dont care what i, you or admins think.... why did you even made this thread? is there any opinion left you care about (you dont even care about your own opinion? seriously ;-) )
I jut want admin to reply with logical reason behind naming referral links in OP as spammy |
|

download links can be useful.
eg another wallet, a chart, trading software, password cracker, epub and so on
imagine an internet without downloads - nearly unusable
imagine an internet without referrals: what a lovely place (i dont know you age, but in the beginning of the internet there wasnt any referrals and it was nice!
This is 1st reply which has been given some thought but still not good enough to term referral link in OP as spammy. If this forum does not support referral programs then why are so many signature campaigns running here? Why are these users allowed to post referral links in their signatures? |
|
|

just hit the ignore button if you dont want to read anything from him.
and to get back on topic: referrals are spammy. download links are often useful. hence i support the former to be forbidden ;-)
Don't want to ignore him as his comments make me laugh a bit I just want to understand how can posting referral link in OP be spammy and posting link to download something be not spammy ? I am looking for logical reasons not "what you/I/admin thinks" |

Can you please tell what's wrong with posting Referral link as part of OP then?
It boils down to this: (tl;dr: admin says no) -snip-
Do not make topics or replies just to share your referral link. Whether it's in your sig, avatar, personal message, profile, within the post itself, or tattooed on your forehead is irrelevant.
-snip-
You are allowed to put your refferal link on your signature
So, when you make promotion, ask users to join through refferal link on your signature
And you might want to use link shortener, so every user can't know the refferal link
Any you should know it already when you join this forum
Still referral spam. If you pay people to register under your ref link it works on games and rounds, also sometimes when people find new promos or giveaways they give their ref link and a non ref link, seems to be allowed aswell.
Still referral spam. Sending Referral Link is SPAM even in PMs ? |

There's nothing wrong with the thread. People are allowed to post links to MediaFire because Bitcointalk does not support attachments. How else is someone supposed to send executable?
Why should executable file be part of OP? Should it not be send via PM only to the one's who are interested in downloading ? Can you please tell what's wrong with posting Referral link as part of OP then? It's not even a referral link. It's a link to an ebook that OP is buying reviews from. Does not violate forum policy. That I know. Question is how can posting Referral link in OP result in SPAM ? |

I DO WANT opinions BUT sadly YOU are NOT the person whose opinion I WANT.
Feel free to give YOUR opinions to OTHERS but SPARE ME.
For Heaven sake please NEVER EVER in future comment on any of my thread!
So do you have any problem with my reasoning? If so state them. You asked a question , I answered it. If you don't like viewing my opinions feel free to ignore me, my posts are made for public reference. And "For Heaven sake " , whats up with the Caps? I want to highlight the words. Its like I am screaming at you because you are too ignorant to understand what I said politely asked even before in my earlier threads |

Not every downloadable file is filled with viruses, if you can't save yourself from them, you shouldn't be on the internet So, how can placing referral links as part of OP be SPAM? Its spam as majority will start creating many topics , unneeded ones, just to spread their ref link, creating posts etc. If you don't like the rules, go to your ref safe haven TBN or create your own forum. Can you please start ignoring me & STOP posting YOUR opinions on my threads? Its a forum, this is the last place to come if you don't want opinions. I DO WANT opinions BUT sadly YOU are NOT the person whose opinion I WANT. Feel free to give YOUR opinions to OTHERS but SPARE ME. For Heaven sake please NEVER EVER in future comment on any of my thread! |

Hi,
I Have 360$ Paypal and I Need Bitcoins, Please let me know how many bitcoins i will get and With in how many minutes i will get bitcoins.
Only i will go with trusted persons.
My paypal account is Identity Verified and Bank Account Verified and Not Linked/Verified with Credit Card.
So please let me know who can provide this service. I am ready to send as "Gifts Payments"
Escrow Accepted
I can sell you $10 worth of BTc for $12.25 to be paid as goods and service given you answer my below questions: 1. Is your PayPal account Verified & on your name? I would need your ID to verify this. 2. Are funds in your PayPal account legit? 3. You promise to never charge back this payment once you receive BTC ? Thanks, Sagar |

Yeah still looking, just to be clear, I'm looking to buy BTC with Paypal, sorry for any miscommunication
I can sell you $10 worth of BTC for $12.25 PayPal paid as goods & services BUT few questions before we deal: 1. Is your PayPal account Verified & on your name? I would need your ID to verify this. 2. Are funds in your PayPal account legit? 3. You promise to never charge back this payment once you receive BTC ? Thanks, Are you making a scam accusation against new user @ prundeagab ? No that guy isn't me. Some guy under the username "prundeagab" PM'd me and offered to do a deal, but it's been a day and there hasn't been any BTC sent to my account. At this point do I leave a feedback on the user or give him some more time?
Or did they offer to trade but not complete the transaction? The guy just straight up stopped responding to any of my messages after I sent him money on PayPal and there is no balance in my account Okay, I understand that I am a newbie and why people are hesitant to trade with me, but all I'm looking for is $10 worth of BTC, if you don't want to deal with me, that's absolutely fine. |

referral link pls As per your request, referral link has been sent to your PM. Pls check & take action |
|
|
|
Seeing as you have a recent scam accusation, I'd be willing to deal with you only using escrow.
Let me know if you're interested in selling me BTC for Paypal, with an escrow.
Why would you deal with a scammer even with escrow instead of getting him banned from the forum? |
|
|
|
I understand. I'll let someone else pitch in on that 'explanation'. In case that "but mediafire downloadable links are allowed" is your only argument I doubt that you are going to get far with this.
There are lot of things which I literally don't understand about this forum (which I raised in my other thread). This one would just increase that list by 1 point |
|
|
|
Do you want referral links to be allowed/links disabled/other?
Yes, I want Referral links to be allowed as part of OP. It will save lot of unnecessary PM sending work. If the title of the thread contains how much is the user willing to pay then the one's who are interested in that amount would read further. So, how can placing referral links as part of OP be SPAM? |
