I just deleted a "friend"

I realize that some that are here just to get referrals don't think so, but that is not the intended purpose of the site.

I think it inappropriate for them to the resources of the site in such a way. I also think that they're actually cheating on the program they are promoting because many of those will suspend you immediately if they learn that you are spamming.

Yes, I would report her and deleter her as a friend - it is not appropriate.

I really think that in order for this site to prosper, we all have to help monitor those that are abusing it.

I did accept everyone that asked until this happened - now I will checking more to see if they're only here to promote their programs.

I think that we have to make sure that this kind of thing isn't going on - by reporting, and by deleting the person that does it.

If, so I haven't seen it yet. I know some that advise people to post in forums, and signatures as long as it abides by the forums terms of service. And as far as I know, most forums forbid members to spam other members and are usually banned if they get reported.

I think some programs may be promoting to people that they come here to post referral links and spam their stuff through the message system.

I definitely think it is an abuse of the site and is very disrespectful to others.

Not all who are here, are looking for the benefit of making money. Sure it was what lured us here to begin with, but over time one can make some honest and forever friendships, if one is willing to take the time to do so. I don't even check my earnings anymore when I first log on, I just dive into the discussions, cause I like to talk (maybe a little to much at times..lol). Besides I have a job that I make the real cash with, so any earnings I get from here or any other paying program gets matched with my own cash, and donated to a charitable organization or put into any fundraiser I might be doing at any given time.

some of us here don,t have sufficent funds we are here to try to make money

I believe if you are here to make money, you will do so by the rules and not be spamming people. If I were to report this person to the program that they spammed, they would probably be suspended from the program because it is again the rules of most.

I wouldn't have thought as much about it if the first message hadn't been received immediately after I accepted this person as a friend.

If someone asks the other person to send then the link, then I think it's okay, but I don't think it's okay to ask someone to accept you as a friend just so you can spam them.

I think that many don't understand that it puts people off more than helps you when you send it unsolicited. If someone asks for it, they're interested, but if you just send it, it's probably going to just get deleted. I think it is an abuse of the site to clutter it up with that kind of thing.

After much consideration, I did report this person. I think we have to nip this abuse in the bud!

Yes, good for you. I did delete two this week, and report them. I try to follow rules, everyone else should, too.

Was that supposed to be a response?

I let them know that I did not appreciate being spammed, but did not receive any response.

I agree and don't think the system should be used for this purpose.

I think we need to make sure that people that do these things are eliminated from the site as they are abusing it.

If I request their link, then that's okay, but if I'm not requesting it, and the only reason they are requesting to be accepted as a friend is to spam me, then I do not feel that they should be allowed to even remain on the site.

I am going to be much more careful - from now on, they will need to earn the privilege!

I would just ignore it, but I don't want to receive more spam messages and feel that this person abused the system.
