TheFrog · 05-04-2004, 10:28 AM

yup, had their program spammed to me lots

MattO · 05-04-2004, 10:29 AM

yea those guys are out of control. I do believe one guy who's spamming ICQ claims to be an owner of the program.

Well at first I thought maybe this was the case and they were going to need galleries...that's the only reason I even authorized him.

And then next thing I know I"m getting a url with a ref code...friggin' tard.

No mine was "yinfu9."

FunForOne · 05-04-2004, 10:32 AM

Got the same thing, but from a different ICQ

sean416 · 05-04-2004, 10:32 AM

there was a couple threads a week ago. Juicy was saying send the guys to him so he could have fun with them.

yea the dude that was spamming me was named Robo and said he owned the program

DarkJedi · 05-04-2004, 10:33 AM

the fuckface who spammed me claimed to be the owner

eroswebmaster · 05-04-2004, 10:34 AM

Why do companies choose to alienate even the smallest percentage of webmasters with tactics like this?

eroswebmaster · 05-04-2004, 10:35 AM

the sad thing tho'...people will probably sign up for them from this thread.

amazing what kind of people we have in this business..and I'm not just referring to the yinfu9's...but those who will still go ahead with their bullshit.

cluck · 05-04-2004, 10:37 AM

I don't care if they spam they're the best converting toolbar and they pay a good chunk of my bills

I have been spammed by several of them . . . yinfu9 being the most recent. I will give him credit though . . . at least when I told him I wasn't interested he accepted it . . . . well, at least I think he did. Hard to tell since I deleted him from my list

RicardoB · 05-04-2004, 10:46 AM

And people wonder why I don't use ICQ anymore.

From the Mediatickets site:

Best Stragitied to Get Webmasters:

1) Contact Big Websites Directly. Do you know any websites with a large amount of traffic? Go to these websites and find their "contact us" info. Get an e-mail or phone number and contact the owner of these websites to tell them about MediaTickets. Discuss the highlights described below.

2) Post on Webmaster Message Boards. Let hundreds of webmasters know about MediaTickets and get those webmasters to sign up through your link. In your post, discuss the highlights detailed below and provide your link

3) Contact Webmasters You Are Friends With. Let your friends know about MediaTickets and why you decided to sign up. Discuss the highlights located below.

oh here's my code:

Everyone seems to cry about spam but most if not all do some form of it in one way or another.
My question to you is: When is it just a sales pitch? After all we are all in business to sell something weather it be yourself , your program or your services.

What is the best way to aproach a webmaster?

If you come to talk to me about your program that's one thing. But for webmasters to come to me on icq pretending they want to talk business only to shoot a referral code to some sponsor that's something else.

If you're a friend that's an entirely different issue.

hydro · 05-04-2004, 11:34 AM

thats why i use an image for my icq uin

. i lost the link but theres this icq spammer that can collect icq's based on the length in digits then spam the people.

Dirty F · 05-04-2004, 11:34 AM

Complain to their host and to the hosts upstream provider.

EviLGuY · 05-04-2004, 11:56 AM

Doubt they care.. the owners of the program were doing the same shit to me.

I even gave it a try, but wasn't getting a good download rate so I figured 10 bucks a day isn't worth it.
