A stop to all the "blah blah pays $xxx. PM me for details"

    In the affiliate forum there seems to be more and more posts in the format of:

    I know of X affiliate that pays X per lead. PM me for details.

    IMO, it's still spamming your affiliate link, just you don't get as many curiosity clicks.

    It would be nice to 1. stop these posts all together OR 2. Create a subforum for those type of posts.

    Just a thought.

    Hello

    If you see something that looks like a bump or just plain old post padding

    Please use the [​IMG], and the mods can address the issue

    Thanks for the feedback

    Just saying Thanks, and Oh ps I agree, I hate those bumps, Just report them

    can you point to a specific example. people can post their earnings... just aslong as there is no affilaite link in the body of the post (signature is ok).

    can they ask ppl to signup with their affiliate link located in the signature ?

    Or maybe like

    "The link to the Site is there in my signature (and the signature will be his masked affiliate link tiny url or something)"

    Yes everyone is trying to gain some referrals and are opening weird threads rather than adding informative step by step guides !
