Samba Pa Ti Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 i dont even think it belongs there... they are just going to give away some strings to the biggest spammer/brown noser , and another thing why do you have a television in your Guitar forum logo ?

another doug Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 It doesn't seem that he's trying to sell anything, just get people to chat on his forum (I clicked, and it seems legit). I think "off-topic chats" would be more appropriate. That said, his post did look like spam to me at first too. "Free giveaway" raises some red flags.

soapbarstrat Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Looks like the perfect contest to cause a lot of bad blood on the guitar-chat forum. If only I could string up a guitar with a slap in the face, 'cause I often win those on every forum. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyManAndy Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Why do people overreact on this forum? Beats me. But the poster should've been a little more attentive to the forum headings to find the right section. CMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 To be fair, I would have reported it as spam, too. Spam does not have to be a scam or something non-legit. Its simply bad net etiquette to register a user on a forum simply to post an ad about their forum. Now, if it had been a guitar-building related (i.e. related to our forum's purpose) site (not another forum, of course), then that would be different. But, otherwise, in my opinion, this IS spam, regardless of how legit it may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Spam is unsolicited advertisement, this would be defined as spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorecki Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Spam is unsolicited advertisement, this would be defined as spam. Well in defense of the poster, the definition of this area is "All advertisements allowed here". I think that pretty much says anything goes. So give'm a break, their member base is smaller than the amount of spammer accounts I delete daily on my boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 The post is guitar related and is in the right section.Thanks for the concern but it is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyManAndy Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I just did notice that fine print that said all advertisements allowed. My bad! CMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
