Consider yourself BANNED.
Second time in as many months... gods... where are these things coming from?

It is true, I know several people who have gotten their iPod from that site.

Doesn't matter. The purpose of this place is to support Wolfire, not to advertise. They should look for their fodder someplace else.
The only thing that should be marketed here is things from Wolfire. That sanctity should be protected.

This is the randomness forum.
Since I didn't see the original post, was it in the form of "hey check out this cool site!" or was it an actual advertisment?

Forum advertisers often advertise in the "hey, i found this really cool site..etc" way, and if it is anything that has to do with saving/getting money, it's an forbidden ad, no matter which way they say it.

... so to ban him did u block his account or his i.p. adress cuz we had a problem like this on another forum once. The bloke who we tried to block got wise to the fact our moderator was a moron and kept comming as diffarent names.

(yes yes b4 u jump to puns and poor insults that moderator was not me)

(nor was i the spammer)

Well, you can't keep such guys from re-registering. When you block the IP, they get a new one. When you block the username, the get a new one. When you block the mail address, they get a new one. When you block the ISP, you're a moron. When you block the IP range, you're an idiot. So you can't REALLY do anything against it.

I personally wouldn't go through the trouble of getting a new IP to use a forum, but I guess some might.

I don't know what you are referring to. I meant IP adresses. Switching them is not that difficult as long as you haven't got a static IP. If you have a static IP, proxies do the job.

This was a pointless thread...

...and still is, IMO.

Yep. Although (I can't believe I'm adding to this nonsense) you really can get an Ipod from those sites.

Crill3 · Post by **Crill3** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 3:02 am

And what do you have to do for them in exchange?

you usually end up having to spend more time and money on other offers. one time i actually read all the fine print (i was bored) on one of those sites, and they told you to buy 6 things on linked sites with a total of at least $500 in order to be eligible for an ipod.
