You\'ve got to be kidding me...
 

I was looking for some goods on ebay and came across a banner ad that linked to the following page...

Link with an application for a WSOP credit card that earned points towards WSOP merchandise.

don't spam.

it looks like your link even has a referral code. you should at least remove that asap.

Somehow I don't think Cubs has suddenly started spamming the forum.

Here is a link to another site where you will see the same card linked with the identical URL.

Linky - first item on the page

Mods,

It is not my affiliate code associated with link i provided. Previous to posting i tried playing with the URL but the page would not link without the full URL. I guess the new MO around here is to assume everyone is up to no good rather then taking into account reputation and past contributions.

removing that link is ridiculous

Re: You\'ve got to be kidding me...
 

Someone who has been around as long as cubs and has contributed so much should be given the benefit of the doubt guys.

There has been some serious OVER-moderation lately. Quite sad to see. Anyone who knows anything should know CW wasn't spamming.

Re: You\'ve got to be kidding me...
 

I did not think that Cubs was spamming. But - someone reported the post and it was a link with a credit card application and someones affilliate code. I do not think it was Cubs code. I simple removed the link. Sorry if others were offended!

cubs that was sooo your link dont even deny it we all know the truth you maniacal spambot assmuffin.

Here is the link to the credit card taken directly from the MBNA website.

You can verify that this link is not an affiliate link by going to the MBNA website and scrolling down to the 6th card on this page:

http://www.mbna.com/creditcards/travel.html

There is no way i can profit from posting the is URL unless i own MBNA stock. Do i need to post a screen shot of my stock portfolio to prove this? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

NH!

Re: You\'ve got to be kidding me...
 

Sorry for the mistake. That was not an affiliate link. To clarify, I did not think that was Cubs link. I thought it was someone elses that he came across and cut and pasted here for entertainment value. I deleted the link as I did not want someone else to profit as an affiliate.

Cubs has been around long enough and earned enough respect that I don't suspect spam from him. If I do suspect spam from an established poster I will send them a pm warning. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Thank you,

What he said AGAIN!

Re: You\'ve got to be kidding me...
 

I don't think Jim used poor judgement here. I can understand why he deleted the link even though we all know Cubswin as a guy of integrity who is not trying to personally profit. When I see a url that looks like that I also smell a link where someone profits (not Cubs). It does LOOK like one!

Anyway, no harm no foul. Cubs is a reasonable guy and I'm sure he understands.

Re: You\'ve got to be kidding me...
 

I completely understand how the link looked like it could be affiliate in nature. That being said, I dont think using the logic that if someone profits from a link or url it should be made off limits to post. By this standard, posting any URL would be off limits.

Anyways, to bring things back on topic... there are much better rewards cards out there if people are looking for a credit card. Interesting concept but not worth getting.
