    I had the following PM today:
    I turned him down as it didn't seem ethically right, but is there an official answer on this.

    I have just cleared the backlog and the guy offered and followed through in donating the $100 to charity (Alek's Celiac one), the funny thing was I had to reject his ad :eek:

    {lol} Probably not a good idea to start taking bribes... but the queue is clear as of now (again).

    If the bribe (so to speak) is to clear the whole queue and not specific ads (not that I know whose ads are whose anyway) would there be a problem with that. That way the queue would get cleared quicker and ads would be approved or rejected as normal.

    Yeah... well technically I don't really have a problem with it, other than I don't want people to start bidding to have ads reviewed. Could get rather annoying...

    Ok, If it's fine with you I'll only ever do the full queue (for payment) as you're right bidding for individual ads would be really annoying and too open for abuse. Doing the full queue benefits the network and everybody using it, so it's hopefully a win win situation.

    I will ignore the foreign language ads though, as I've no idea what they say.
