Free Ipods - can we ban these?

Before C3 starts getting flooded with people's referal links, can we have these banned from signatures, avatars, posts... ?

Its the situation at most forums I go to, because all these schemes do is try and take advantage of people.

Well, I think it depends on whether or not the whole thing's a scam. Is it?

Yes- it relies on people slipping up when registering for the schemes.

Ah, well there you go. It shouldn't be alowed then.

It says you only need 5 refferals and you get a free Ipod though!!

Why dont six of us do it and reffer the other 5....

Why dont six of us do it and reffer the other 5....

...because its a fucking pyramind scheme.

Can you not see the scam?

Jesus. That's pathetic. People who take advantage of other people like that should be hung, drawn and quartered and have their heads hung off Tower Bridge. It's just disgusting. And then I start rambling on about stealing, door to door salesmen and trick or treating...

Good to see its not just me, then.

I get it off my parents

Can you not see the scam?

I think its pretty obvious that I cant

If I see any more links or details about Free iPods or any of these other hideous schemes on Cubed3 I will edit out the links and lock the topics. If people could mod alert whenever they see one that would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm... I seem to have started the end of the universe...
I think that flooding the forums, banners, etc are a veeery bad idea. But sigs should be okay, its just a small text link. And mseny, if you dont like it, then don't click on it!!! Simple.

Thank you tempo

Im taking the piss

Something says that someone should mod alert the actual topic that started this. But don't look at me, I aint no lousy squealer like that Msenysak!

Too late, I asked for it to be locked, and Tempo's godlike powers (and his shotgun) have done so

I aint no lousy squealer like that Msenysak!

Well it's true! The whole sodding mod forum's filled up with your complaints!

Lol, never give him a armed weapon. Actually, I wouldn't trust anyone on this forum with an armed weapon, specially not the suspicious blizz guy around...

How the hell would you know Blizz
