Brad Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Sometime in the middle of the night last night, a spammer from a "competing" deal site (and I use that term very loosely - the site is not really competition because it is so bad, lol) sent hundreds of PMs to our users advertising for their site. Thanks to PMs from many of you, this idiot has been banned and their site has been blocked from being posted or PMed here on the forum. If this should ever happen again, please don't hesitate to PM me immediately. With Black Friday approaching once again, it is an unfortunate fact that things like this will happen with a site as popular as GottaDeal. I apologize for the inconvenience receiving these PMs may have caused. I have contacted the major affiliate programs asking that this person be terminated for these obvious breaches of the affiliate terms of service, so hopefully this little immature stunt ends up costing them big time where it hurts the most.
