For the past 4-5 weeks, Sari posts on this forum...along with other forums she hits.
The message is the same on each forum. Folks at the forums, thinking that Sari is really needing help and is asking a legimate question, spend time and effort in replying to her posts.
Sari never comes back to read her posts or comment. Sari is also not a regular at any of the forums.
Sari posts on each friday...leaving a link to her unfinished website. At first, people here helped Sari, until noticing that she posts the same exact message on multiple forums, on the same day.
Chances are, Sari has gotten ahold of some automated software that spam posts multiple forums at once, every friday.
Sari could care less about any responses or replies, she just wants to leave backlinks pointing to her awful website.
Apparantley Sari has read somewhere that posting her link at forums will help with her website rankings and visibility, which is true. But Sari does not contribute to the forums, or even reply to her posts.
That is wrong. Posting a reply or asking a question while leaving a link to your website is fine if you make an effort to reply or help others. It builds credibility and you become known. If you help others...well, that's what forums are supposed to be about, NOT to post the same exact question on multiple forums on the same dates/times.
That is a form of forum spamming, and will result in your being kicked off of the forum...or worse.
Sari has been given time and warnings to stop...yet she single-mindedly persists in her behaviour. She has yet to reply to any discussion about her.
Sari is out for Sari, is what it boils down to.
Wondering where to buy a computer?

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
