Bulletin button on website

    Hey everyone. I am trying to add a button to my website which gives visitors the chance to click it and easily post a bulletin to their myspace friends. The original code I have now only takes you to the main bulletin page. After looking through the code it looks like they have added some sort of hash value (im not sure if that is new or not)...Anyone have a way of getting around this? Thanks in advance!

    People got sick of being flooded by bulletin spam so Myspace took action and changed the way the bulletins are sent.

    I haven't heard of a "way to get around this", and hope there isn't one. And even if one is found Myspace will just change it again.

    Here is a bulletin I got a few days ago

    And of course, the link takes you to some ezedates site.

    F*king spammers should be hanged by the balls

    So remove them..I agree "spamming" porn on there is not right but quit beating around the bush..Offering a button on a website that gives normal people the option of telling their friends about the site is not wrong and should not be considered spamming. However, thanks for your reply

    The problem is that it was being abused, just take a look here, some guy was even asking if it would be a good idea to promote clickbank products with bulletins

    WTF?

    If you have a myspace account. just wait till you get a train sent to you. trains work with bulliten reposts, if you get a train sent to you just check how they did it.

    No, they don't work with the repost button, has to be manual.

    Hehe, there's obviously money in it which is why they're doing it, and why I can understand why they do it. I thought Myspace had a '$60 per spam bulletin' policy? Stupid to introduce a harsh policy like that if it's so impossible to enforce.

    Bulletins were meant for users to send messages to their FRIENDS. Not to spam a ton of strangers with your junk.
