www.Canbarsed.co.uk - question

wirm

As I am aware we are not allowed to post affiliate links etc.

Can someone therefore tell me why cantbarsed are allowed to continually post in the Online Discount Vouchers advertising their site?

Examples of their posts:

There's currently 10% discount available at LaSenza, we've got a code here:
http://www.cantbarsed.com/promo-codes-em.htm#l

There are always vouchers doing the rounds for NEW customers at Figleaves, up to £20 discount depending on your total spend.
We also have an exclusive £5 discount voucher which can be used by EXISTING customers. They're here:

We have a Currys approved link here:

http://www.cantbarsed.com/currys.htm

My earlier posting inspired me to add a new page explaining how to find promotional codes:

I'd just like to re-assure everyone we only feature discount vouchers and promotional codes which can be used by anyone on our website

Have you reported it to the abuse team Wirm?

Sorry but I thought it was just for "abuse"!

Sorry Martin! :-[

Don't worry Wirm ;D

It's not a problem - if you see the Orange bar near the top you'll see spam is part of it.

I think it's easy to thin we've spotted it when actually with so many posts you may see it and we don't know. Even some obvious abuses go unacted upon if people don't report.

And regulars like you are the most reliable as you know what's acceptible and what isn't much more than most - so help is always apprecaited

Well I will know for again! If I read things more often instead of posting so quick it would be helpful!

(keep up the ebay fight!)

I'm trying! Not easy though cause eBay aren't being helpful!

In the process of making my campaign bigger though!....

I have noticed that some users ( not just above user - but seem a good thread to add it to) just post referral links- would be nice if they added something (esle) to the site

its interesting to look back at the last 10 posts (or more) of some users and see its all referrals, or one line posts so that their sigfnature referral link gets spread across the different boards

I was thinking the exact same! :-/ Have you reported them! ???

The signature - yes, but still there (will send you a PM)

the others - well not really breaking the rules ?

not getting any better is it!

Whats annoying me even more is the fact that people are using the recent disaster to make money, by "saying" that if you click on their affiliate link that they will donate part of the money to the charity! :-/

I agree wirm. :-/

I noticed someone, can't remember who, post that they would donate £3 from their £7 referral fee.

I do hope people realise that they will be sending more money to the person rather than the appeal if they become involved. :-/
