How Do You Like the Zoo without Affiliate Crap???

[morgant]

this is purely a personal poll as everyone may get something different from 2+2. Player XYZ may be an affiliate and miss its being covered here, or Player ZYX may find this new policy a godsend. Just curious how everyone finds the zoo with this new rule. this is also the first poll i have ever posted (i think [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img])

on the one hand, the zoo is less cluttered.

on the other hand. that traffic has simply moved offsite, so its a potentially poor business move.

I don't have a problem with it, it just needs its own forum.

[krazyace5]

Like they need that traffic.

[bonanz]

it's not the affiliate talk i minded, but the affiliate talk/questions over and over. If only there could be a sticky that eliminates repeated questions [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

im not sure whether there is more/less desirable traffic when your are pricing advertising based on page views. but i certainly dont know the strategy/pricing structure that 2+2 employs.

Firstly i'm not an affiliate anymore so this isn't spam.

But i think it's stupid to blocked it, affiliates and rake back is a benefital service for people who visit here, just like Homer's casino posts and like posts of new bonus codes. The only difference here is one person stands to benefit as well.

Removing it just makes people less aware and means everyone misses out on money.

I agree with this.

Despite the fact that there was so much of this stuff going on recently how many people from this forum have benfitted from it? Hundreds i would say. Getting money back to the players has to be one of the more important parts of this forum and banning the chat (thats all most of it way) actually helps no one really. Yes ban the habitual spammers but allow people to conduct business via PMs.

The best idea does seem to be to have a seperate forum purely for affiliates and rakeback.

THAT would be a scary forum to enter without full protective gear. I think newbies might get hammered so hard with pms from a forum like that, we might kill the fresh stocks of fish..........i do exagerate, but thats sorta the way the zoo was getting before mats ban, i am very split on my opinion this matter, hence my poll.

Thats perhaps something else to consider then........banning any affiliate who sends out unrequested PMs. I actually have never got any unwanted PMs from affiliates so it cannot be that widespread. But yes the Zoo needs cleaning up for sure as far too much crap was going on but to remove it all is to the detrement of us as players.
