A word of advice to ANYONE seeding BITTORRENT and NEWSGROUPS
 

DON'T DO IT!!

you should know better. some of you almost got me fucked while we were away. not only does it violate ragecash TOS it violates the newsgroups TOS too.

spamming these places will get you terminated immediately and i cannot help you. this is the same thing as mailing and if you do it, please don't come crying to me.

no matter what you may have heard, don't do it. and, if you really want the truth, craigslist can and will file abuse complaints too. i've heard some things at the show that are going to get some of you fucked if you do it.

ragecash is an upper echelon program, (maybe a baby), but still and upper echelon program, and we won't be involved with stuff like this.

this is my new :2 cents:

here's a bump :)

bump x2 , good post

wow, that sucks dude......

Newsgroups have no TOS.

They have also been useless since 1996 or so.

*shrug*

And a shiney :2 cents: I might add.

useless? lol

You wont take traffic from p2pads.com ?

regardless of TOS, and i have read them, so they do exist, don't do it. besides that, the real "3l337" people hang out there and will DDOS your ass so fast and me too, so it's a bad idea all around. i won't say where i heard certain things at the show, but some people are in for some suprises if the follow the words of wisdom given in the small circles i was sitting in for awhile.

if you are promoting ragecash through smutlounge with drm clips, do not put them where they don't belong. thank you. much appreciated.

p2pads is something that is done correctly.

I don't do any of that stuff, but I don't understand how seeding bit torrent files falls under anyone's t&cs.... its decentralized peer 2 peer... wtf?

hmmmmm. I would argue that :)

hello asshat

Right, and if you do newsgroups correctly, you have no problems.

steve lightspeed said in a seminar in philly, thats how he got started...keep it on topic, post pics of your girls

What makes a sponsor "upper echelon"?

does that shit even convert its all people looking for free shit

correct. some aren't and caused a hell of alot of problems. put it this way, there were so many complaints that there isn't even anything i can do about helping the offenders out.


the only reason this is on the board is to just inform people that you will get your ass in a sling at much higher levels than just with the program if you fuck with certain areas of the internet.

Bit torrents have legal help to fight off seeding? The copyrighted material was given freely and by the sponsor so lets sue the bastard.... umm makes zero sense.

just wanting to do things right. i'm not making any grandiose statement of eliteness here.

we are striving to be the best at everything we do. i take pride in our work and what we have done so far and intend on remaining a program that is looked up to when we are older and have paid out 100's of thousands like alot of the other top programs.

it was not an ego statement by any means.

i think that its the drm shit that they don't like.

watermarks on videos are not going to get you abuse complaints. drm license acquisition windows will. i guess it also matters where the law window is sending them too. not all of the people using this method of promoting are getting the type of complaints i am seeing. i haven't exactly nailed the threshold point of what it is that they are submitting as an abuse complaint. it seems to be the very very aggressive ones that they are targeting.

the complaints come in ten times faster from those networks than what any type of spam complaints do.

DEAR DAMIAN2001:

I wasn't going to call you out way back when when you caused us enough shit to piss off any program, but since you want to play board drama games, here you go.



Heres my post from your "drama" thread.


P.S. We terminated you months and months ago.

RageCash has terminated a total of 2 affiliates since its beginning in August 2005.

Lawrence Conner Aka Alan Greenspan

and

Mr. Damian2001

Lawrence, you can basically guess why.

Damian2001 nearly got our entire network shut down. We tell everyone to not spam or you're done.

From the T.O.S. that this guy agreed to:

11. Spamming. RageCash.com has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy relating to hahaha8220;spamming.hahaha8221; No spamming of any kind, whatsoever, is permitted to RageCash.comhahaha8217;s site, including IRC. Participation will be terminated without notice if in the sole and unfettered discretion of RageCash.com it is concluded that you have engaged in the use of any form of mass unsolicited electronic mail solicitations, news group postings, password selling or trading, warez, IRC positing or any other form of hahaha8220;spamming.hahaha8221; Further, upon termination, all funds otherwise due to you under the terms of this agreement will be forfeited as partial damages for violation of the terms of this Agreement.

You almost got our entire network shutdown.

Thats our comments. If anyone likes i will block personal information from the complaints and post them monday. Thats what I've got to say.

bump.....

exactly. again.

Haha, this thread cheers me up. Oh noes, the big bad bittorrent fags that steal EVERYTHING and newsgroups that steal EVERYTHING are gonna file complaints! I repeat for emphasis, oh noes!

shhhhhh!!!! :winkwink:

Don't use em or you'll get your ass in a sling like you wouldn't believe! :1orglaugh

yeah, thats what i think too.

but, whatever, i don't own the internet or usenet, so go figure.

I'm not sure who threatened your sites and I understand you not wanting the hassle. However, if either of those types of sites tried to file complaints and cause shit because I posted there it would be a war. I could care less about their complaints as they don't have a leg to stand on. Breaking TOS is a rule of theirs not a law.

this seems like a silly statement ( no offense )

Its one thing to add a new rule , its another to act as if this should be common knowledge. I have never heard of any rule that staes you cant post something on usenet if you make money from it , nor on bittorrents.

Im also not sure who was complaining to you ? and why or for what reason ?

Wow, its amazing how little some people know about certain things.

the soup is ready

"this is the same thing as mailing and if you do it"

nope it sure isn't

a image branded with a url, & a movie branded with a url.....are you kidding?

I didnt realise you had bumped this one - oh well I may as well give you some mileage. Heres my reply from the other thread.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup :winkwink:

lmao @ LC

Translation...


Content thieves are complaining about content thieves:)
And in the process threatening folks with DDOS to stop stealing whats already stolen.

Thats awesome.

ROFL at LC

jeez....he really is entertainment for all

Nothing new for them. the Anti's are always the worst.

Newgroups are how everyone got started early on. I know several sites and programs that were built off of stolen content from the newsgroups.

Newsgroups having a TOS is an amusing idea. Almost as glittering of a generalism as "an upper eschalon progam." I got to ask extreme John where that one came.

Heres my 2 cents if you dont own the site you are promoting p2p, newsgroups and torrents will be majorly difficult to utlilze and see any results.

Just a little correction - the content posted was legal - Thats why they didnt like it - lol

Lightspeedcash has terminated LC's affiliate account for *SPAMMING* multiple Yahoo groups. Our TOS clearly states that spam is not tolerated in any form. Also, by posting unsolicited advertisements to multiple Yahoo Groups, LC has also violated Yahoo's TOS, which in itself is ALSO against our TOS.

Here is an excerpt from Yahoo's TOS

I won't disclose which groups LC was posting to, other than to say that members of groups like that are not welcome to join my websites, nor do I want an affiliate who promotes my sites to them.

LC, for your own sake, I'd suggest dropping this argument and moving on. I have alot more I could say here.
