Plz PM me for info < This is getting ridiculous...

    Is anyone else fed up with "How to Make $1,000,000" threads? They invariably end with 'please PM me for info' - followed by numerous 'PM me the info' posts. It's all about $1 eBook selling (+iTrader points) and sub affiliate recruiting via PM - there's practically no public information sharing going on anymore.

    Posting affiliate links and sub affiliate recruiting is verboten in threads - surely making a thread to promote the same activity via PM should also be frowned upon.

    Would disabling PMs for new members (say for 2 weeks) be a feasible way to stop these useless threads?

    Or do I need to chill out and ignore this crap? :)

    I think a script should be put in place for all new members creating ebook threads. This script should replace the words "$8300.00 (or any figure)", "$1 million" and "ebook" with the word "goat" for 1 month or 500 posts. That will certainly stop them.

    I'm sure we could think of a nice alternative for "PM me for info" too :)
