I'm offering

- a text link ad like the fusioncash one up top for 48 hours
- +karma
- a free trading post thread bump

for the person who CAREFULLY and THOROUGHLY searches the entirety of the forums for the following content
descriptions, discussions, instructions, etc relating to
- drugs
- fraud
- adult content
- anything that is illegal (satellite descramblers, for example)

the person who does this will PM me a list of threads and/or posts that meet these criteria. i expect this will be a sizable list.

You're being shaken down by the LAW, aren't you?

Any deadlines? Do you want topics or posts?

Is this a first-come, first-serve type thing? Can multiple people get this deal?

I will probably do some searching tonight but I want to make sure I don't do it and then find out someone beat me to the punch.




EDIT IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO HOTWIRE A CAR, PLEASE PM ME. KTHX.

Man, h3x's post-count is going to be reduced by 2/3! D

Admin

01-02-2007 18:32:44

no deadlines. if the whole thread or the majority of the thread meets the criteria, i'd like a link to the thread. if its just one post, then a link to the post is sufficient.

i'm fine with more than one person doing this and assuming that every person does a good job i'll give them all the rewards above

Just PM'd 153 links to threads....

Maybe we could make certain areas of the forum only accessible to members.

Anyway, I will try and help.....

But what if we made a list and divided it up?

Like person A searches the word "sex"
person B searches the word "drugs"
person C searches the word "marijuana"
person D searches the word "porn"
person E searches the word "torrent"
etc

and then we have others filling in the blanks.

Searched pretty much all of them, and those are what consisted of most of the links....

I mean 153 is obvioulsy nowhere near how many threads are filth on here, but it's a start.

Oh man, I just PMed you with like a hundred links.

I think I have carpal syndrome.

EDIT lol, I guess that's not much after all.

I searched for "marijuana," "torrent," "porn," and "radar detector." So if anyone else is doing any searching, admin will have received all those threads already.

01-02-2007 19:28:24

LOL, I think "radar detector" is being a little over-zealous. They are legal in all but like 2 states. lol

Yeah I did searches on pretty much all those, except radar detector (? ).

He'll probably get a shitload of duplicate links...oh well.

this is kind of lame.. whats the point in deleting all this stuff. It's just information. It's not hurting anything.

Yeah except when there's threads about everyone smoking chronic, people taking Xanax, people downloading porn, people stealing porn, torrents, TV descramblers, ways to steal cable, gas, food, money, people wanting advice on how to bypass drugtests and security codes..........

You know, that doesn't look to good for Admin if an FBI Agent were to just randomly check out this site......

It doesn't matter who posted it, Admin would be responsible.

I don't know - maybe there could be a completely seperate part of the forum, featuring the very worst offenders in order of the filthiest at the top...etcetera....

Porbably not a great idea on second thoughts - just my dark, dry British sense of humor creeping in like the naughty thing it is lichuckles evillyli D

i'm not worried about any of this stuff

there are changes coming that will have a number of companies, including fusioncash, partnering more closely with fipg. and none of them need that kind of content associated with them.

as well as it couldn't hurt getting rid of the old stuff to make the forum faster and less likely to get all weird on us like always, that blockbuster ad is annoying lol

Admin

01-02-2007 20:19:15

thanks for the links, everyone. i'll go through them and get back to you this weekend.

I hope that stuff doesnt get deleted as those threads are the funniest. Not that they are resurrected often, but when they are it's funny. Maybe they can just be for members only. Or the secret 1000 posts club D

I think a4f's forums are too tight, so i dont post there. I dont even read.

I'm all for it... If you haven't noticed, I've already removed all the plant pornography prior to this clean-up announcement.

i'll archive them somewhere private

So are we suppose to stop making posts like that from now on, or has it not taken into effect yet?

I would suggest that everybody refrain from it, otherwise this little exercise would be pointless.

I've always taken issue with some of the things discussed here, but it wasn't my place to put a stop to it. I think Admin is on the right track here and, knowing what he's planning from a business perspective, it's definitely a smart thing to do.

He, myself, and the rest of the mods/admins will no doubt appreciate everybody's help in this. We're not saying you can't discuss "hot" topics, or that you can't necessarily speak your mind, or use profanity (although too much of it just weakens your point and makes you look stupid). We just need to limit anything that is blatantly illegal (to the majority of the US) or would otherwise reflect poorly on the site's image.
