hey. i got that too. i think everyone got one?

Well i got that from him as well but i know him so i dont believe he trying to scam anyone. he is trying to help people out and make a profit at the same time. If his program is against the rules we will deal with him accordingly, i will personally speak with him today. Also it is his business on how he wishes to get referrals and if he is cheating gratis and oc will probably catch him. He is a contributer for this site and it will be hard to simply ban him for offering info to people through PM's. If your not interested please just ignore it.

Hmmmm, why do I get the feeling that if he was a noob, he'd get banned with the quickness?


Whatever....I think it's pretty damn low. If you wanna use it for your own gain, then so be it...

But again....I think if he was anybody else he'd be reported to the folks at Gratis and OC.

But hey.....it's not my site.

I'd report him. He's acting against the rules and fraudulently obtaining referrals.

No matter how long, or how many posts he has doesn't negate the fact that he's acting fraudulently.

The fact that moderators here are effectively condoning this guy because he's a member and has a bunch of posts is atrocious.

yes thats more likely if he was noob but at the same time it was private message he didnt go out and put the information on a thread for everyone. he sent it to peopeles PM box. if he was spamming it would be a diffrent situation

Spamming is spamming, whether it be to PM boxes, email or web forums. It was an unsolicited mass sent message.

Whatever, I'm not losing sleep over it. I'll still be getting all my shit without being put on hold.

No biggie.

apology accepted at least by me. Who here doesn't want to benifit from all the work they do on the free sites?!? I agree that if it is cheating he (or anyone else) shouldn't do it. But that is their business and besides they will probobly get caught. And if they don't get caught that means that gratis probobly got money out of it anyways.

He's unbanned, but still banned? )

By the way, wardriving for APs to sign up with would still require different names and credit cards, so it wouldn't be as easy as just having different IPs.
