Aussie Rebel · 09-26-2007, 03:36 PM

Fling is all over torrent sites and they are whining about people advertising on myspace, what a joke

NinjaSteve · 09-26-2007, 03:38 PM

It use to work reallly really really well. But like everything else the market got saturated and everyone and their mom started doing it. Plus myspace cracked down alot more and made it harder to add friends, send comments etc. But for awhile it was a goldmine.

WiredGuy · 09-26-2007, 04:02 PM

Thanks Fling

Yeah just like the chat bots trying to sell cam memberships. There are more bots in chatrooms than people now.

OzMan · 09-26-2007, 05:06 PM

I searched the terms to see what they define as abusive but found nothing. Can someone point me to that part?

Digipimp · 09-26-2007, 05:10 PM

well they have to crack down on it now that they're an advertiser on myspace

SomeCreep · 09-26-2007, 05:17 PM

On a side note, is Fling.com's geo targeting working for everyone? It's not working for me, but it might just be a local issue or my ISP.

For example, these site use geo targeting:
http://www.flingblog.net/
http://freeporn5.com/pictures/Fling/Fuck-Buddy/

Doe everyone see their correct city and state?

4boxmedia · 09-26-2007, 05:35 PM

Their geo ip database is very bad. Not even close for me.

They're probably just covering their ass, but they may not intend to terminate anyone. But it might come handy to have the "proof" that they did take step to prevent spam and what not :D

4boxmedia · 09-26-2007, 06:07 PM

flings geo ads are way off.

flings main site is very close. almost right on.

They must be using two different database and forgot to update the ad one

Barefootsies · 09-26-2007, 07:48 PM

Mo money. Mo problems.

The irony in this industry is hilarious.

DBS.US · 09-26-2007, 08:19 PM

I love Fling, I met a hot girl that looks just like Ravin Riley and she is going to fly down to see me next week.

Can anyone tell me how to send a Western Union money order to Russia?

TheJimmy · 09-26-2007, 08:42 PM

"please stop spamming myspace, it's bad mm'kay" "psst, we'll create you a new account but don't tell anyone" "ok"

.

next

pocketkangaroo · 09-26-2007, 08:42 PM

Lets not act like Fling is doing this out of the kindness of their heart. Myspace is about to sue the fuck out of people that are spamming their site. Wait and see.

OG LennyT · 09-26-2007, 09:44 PM

I get 20-30 myspace spam add requests a day... hopefully this helps

I'll send it for you as soon as I get my money from those Nigerian government oil accounts.

rowan · 09-26-2007, 11:45 PM

Damnit, I just realised that the email specifically mentions social networking sites.

I thought they'd pulled me up personally on some violation so of course I emailed them back.

They could have worded it a little better and made it clear that it was a general warning.

martinsc · 09-27-2007, 12:07 AM

good move

Exactly, I'd do so, too ... 650k is an expensive lesson the guys from Bangbros/Nastydollars certainly remember well.

AGS-17 · 09-27-2007, 04:38 AM
