You're not the first spammer to use that disclaimer.

You just deleted your first spam post to replace it with this one? I probably wouldn't count on your rewards account staying active for too long.

If you want people to see your site, then put it in a sig and contribute something to threads.

> No spaming intended!

None taken. cool

Or save $97 with THEFULL97."

Now thats spaming!!!!

At least people have to visit my site to get a promo code!

And at least I don't hang around the DreamHost forums like some here just to spam my promo codes with every usless post!

There's a time for everything. Welcome aboard. wink

to the OP, your first posts were pure spam and you know it, that's why you're here so ardently defending your self. It's nice to see your sound logic put to use to explain why you made a post with no relevant info with a link to your site.

Now if you had come in here and posted something to the turn of, I think DH is great BECAUSE they did A and B for them. Then great. That's an appropriate thread for the 'curious about DH' forum. But just dropping in here and posting a link to your site is spam.

You're more than welcome to post links to your site, post your promo code, and what ever else you want - just make a valid contribution to the forum first.

On a side note, does your user name refer to the photographic developer? If so you may well want to consider updating to a company that still makes film products. If your user name doesn't relate, then just ignore this paragraph.

More of a simple test, no spam intended. I can see why my first thread "could have been" missconstruded as spam, but no worst, and much less than when people put their promo codes into the sig line.

People have to at least visit http://s8m.net and look around to get the best Promo code.

Who, What? OK, ignored :)

FWIW, if they could have kept their cars going straight on the track, it would have never happen.

We disagree on that point. What is your intention in posting this thread?

In reply to:

Is that your intention?

BTW, I have looked around intensely for this promo code. The first time I found one that gave one extra domain registration - a $15 value! The second time I found the 50% extra disk space - a much better $50 value! You're moving in the right direction.

Ummm, how do you define "best"?

Matt is referring to the T-MAX line of professional black-and-white films. Quite nice, if I must say so myself. I used the incredible ISO 3200 film for night photography in Kenya - didn't come up with anything noteworthy, as my ambition outweighs my skill!

Finally, I just wanted to mention that you should try to test your site in Firefox as well as IE. While you're at it you might give Safari a spin as well.

Yes. there's also a T-max developer system too. I was trying to make a snide remark to the OP about changing his spaming ways - as Kodak has discontinued (or will in very short order) all of their traditional film products. They're moving into the digital realm, which leaves professional traditionalists to turn to other companies. Maybe it was only funny to me, as I can't seem to quite explain it right. Oh well. smile

he he...Right! you *go*! Every idiot who doesn't understand the difference between a promo code in the sig of a message that is relevant to the forum and a pure spam post, or thinks a message with the sole purpose of driving traffic to their site is anything *other* than spam, actually *helps* others' codes get used (losing their rewards account just decreases the competition!). I love it! wink

Since you are so sure you understand all this, I think you should keep posting them! Really!

Anyone that puts a Promo code in a Sig is indeed Spaming Promo Codes!

Please get over your ego/power trip, there is no reason for you guys to get your chests all puffed up like a bunch of 10 year old bullies at the play ground!

I intend to check the site with the other browsers when I get a chance, I'm not in a big hurry to do so as my stats show that over 90+% of my visitor use IE 4,5,6! I can see from my tracking that some people (-10%) will first visit using other browsers, than come back using IE :)

FWIW, a person has to go deeper than two pages to find the better deals.

Assuming that you really are that ignorant, and are not just being obstinate (which is a distinct possibility!), DreamHost defines "spam" pretty clearly on their "Abuse Center" pages. In particular, the section on "other types of spam" talks about "The practice of posting unrelated, offtopic and typically promotional messages to message forums or guestbooks."

A user posting a *relevant* message here, that is "on topic", has *some other purpose than to drive traffic to their site*, and includes a promo code as part of their sig is a far cry from a spamming low-life that posts solely to drive traffic to their site (even if it *is* under the guise of "offering the best codes"). That's about as lame as it gets.

And that is *exactly* what you are doing. You've made the point very clear with your statements like "At least people have to visit my site to get a promo code!", "People have to at least visit http://deleted.net and look around to get the best Promo code" and "FWIW, a person has to go deeper than two pages to find the better deals." Right. It's all about driving traffic to your site, and has *nothing* to do with providing useful information to anyone here.

While posting your codes directly here *might* be construed as just an ignorant attempt to "help" someone considering signing up for Dreamhost to a "discount", it would still likely be viewed as spam given the nature of the referral program, but you didn't do that - you just spammed the forum encouraging others to visit your site in search of some "best" code. That claim is probably less than accurate anyway, as there are "private" or *very thinly distributed* codes that are undoubtedly "better" than one you could build. I know of at least one you cannot match (without digging into your pocket and adding your own money to it). wink

Promo codes in sigs may be distasteful to some, and you may be too feeble minded to see the difference, but DreamHost sees it differently - enough so that they took the time to address this very behavior in their policy statements.

In reply to:

Please "get over" your spammish behavior and/or go pollute some other forum with this pathetic attempt to drive traffic to your site (or go fix your site!). The reason some here object to such spam is that, given the reward program in place, if such nonsense isn't challenged posts such as your would likely overwhelm these forums and raise the noise to signal ratio so high the forums would be of little use.

I love it when some twit who doesn't bother to read, understand, or follow the published guidelines of a forum or community gets all huffy and righteous when others point out their error - talk about playground mentality. Walking into a place, splattering crap about, and then whining about being bullied when people object is generally not well accepted.

All that said, you do what you want - but don't start counting any of that potential referral money you are hoping to earn just yet. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if DH drops your rewards account (or even your account/site itself) if you persist in ignoring their anti-spam policies and placing such posts on forums. Doing it on DreamHost's *own* forums is just begging for "special attention."

You obviously missed the whole point of my previous post; I was trying to give you a "heads up" about this potential. You are, of course, more than welcome to ignore all of that and just disregard my (and others') warnings as just so much "ego/power trips" and "bullying"; I certianly know of no way to educate anyone who chooses to remain ignorant (or is truly stupid). wink

That's fine. I just didn't want you to start replicating any patterns or templates that would create browser-specific problems throughout your site. In my experience cross-browser compliance is easier to do from the start than to retrofit afterwards.

I see.

BTW, good job in changing your original post to avoid hype!
