:mad Something i hated very much...

I received this e-mail from Epic Cash, and quite frankly i found it was of the worst marketing taste i ever seen:

"EPICCASH
Putting Our Money Where Are Mouth Is!


EpicCash has settled with Acacia, because we saw it as the best business decision for us and those who promote us. However, that doesn't mean we agree with them...

So here's the deal, send us 20 signups and we will donate $200 to the IMPA on your behalf.

OR

If your more interested in taking care of your own, we will be happy to pay you a extra $200 for 20 signups...
Your Choice!

Just send your ID to .... if your interested in this deal!

- EPIC CASH "

To which i replied:
"There is no insult that could describe what you have just done. Personnally i beleive that all this Acacia crap is just a fucking way for some adult sponsors to push their program to affiliate, and this, under the threats of Acacia. You had only a stupid month to go before everything was in court.

As for Acacia they can fuck themself, they have no valid claim, and are just betting on scared adult Cie like you, who wouldn't dare to stand up to ridiculous claims. Since Visa and Mastercard have successfully impose such high claims on the adult business in the past, it sended a signal to every possible crook on the net, that the adult Cie won't be able to defend himself properly and legally, and that they can take whatever they want with pseudo-legal bullying. Acacia just refined this process by beginning with the small Cie first...

Please refrain from sending me such stupidity again into my e-mail account."

Quite frankly, using the Acacia situation to marketing advantage is quite distasteful and aggravating. If you, Epic Cash have bent your back to Acacia, that's your business. But the affiliate,s business and how they do it, isn't of your affair, and trying to gain them to the Acacia cause is quite an insult to them. Maybe it's part of you Acacia deal, but i surely don't CARE! But one thing is sure, i didn't like your proposition and what it implies...

Sincerely, you deserve a ride in this forum for this...
