Affiliate Spam Central Question

[devlina2u]

I wanted to come and post a referral link to [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] but when I checked someone had posted a link to that site just before I could. This was yesterday and today I see that someone else has posted a referral link to that site and the other link is missing. I even remember that the original post did not have a link to the site. How come the original post to [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] is missing?

Dev,

Not 100 percent sure of the answer but the post from yesterday and today.. were they by the same person? Maybe they had their original deleted that did not contain the link.. not sure about it though.

Hopefully one of the mods from that forum will see this and know for sure what happened.

Interesting and thanks! I thought there had been a previous post of the same site, but couldn't find it. Don't know the original poster either - I check that forum constantly to be sure there are no abusers and delete when necessary, but I did not delete this one either. It could have been the original poster that did that.

Also, I do try and keep track as best as I can - it is really not fair to post something, then delete it when it gets lower on the list and repost at the top.

I have seen a few abusers here - I try and keep track of these - hope this helps for what it's worth!

No, both the posts are not by the same person. I cant remember the userid of the person who posted yesterday but I am sure it is not the same as that of the person who posted it today.

In case, there was no post for that site, I was going to post my referral link and when I had seen that yesterday, I was kind of disappointed that I lost out on this opportunity to get referrals. And suddenly today I see today another link to the same site and so, I tried to go and look for the post that I saw yesterday but I did not find it.

Anyway, I guess nothing can be done.

Thank you both for the reply.
