This stinks...

[supervike]

I stumble across this while voting...

http://www.coolminiornot.com/87567

No big deal, the submitter puts a \'make money by clicking here\' link on the page. It sucks, but I guess it is all right to do.

But I check out the gallery

http://www.coolminiornot.com/browse/submitter/methoderixon

and that little link is on almost ALL the pics...again, not a huge deal. But then I noticed that the submitter is just recycling pictures. Every month or so, they add the same pics. There are three of the same Gollum, not different angles or pics, just three identical submissions.

I would suppose that this is because submissions with less than 50 votes are more frequent in the voting rotation, thus equalling more \'exposure\' which equals more \'click here\' money.

Its hard enough to get legitimate votes. (1 or so a day unless you \'pimp\' your stuff) but I certainly don\'t want to compete for votes against \'phishing or spamming submissions\'.

I think it really stinks. What is your opinion??

It\'s taking the piss and is blatant exploitation. There\'s no indication that the mini pics are even theirs...

Get them told!!

 

[finn17]

I have already reported this to CA.

Not much more I can do...

 

[supervike]

I didn\'t expect you to do more Mr. Finn. I just thought the other users might like to know about it....

 

[No Such Agency]

Who\'d click on that link anyway? At least we don\'t have the problem blogger does with 1000\'s of spam/trojan blogs being automatically created every day.

The hell you say! Of course you can do more!

Get out there and find his house and BEAT HIM WITH SHARP STICKS! And these sticks, they have toads on the ends to give him warts.

We expect nothing less of you.

Lemon juice and rock salt. Don\'t forget those after the sticks and the warts.

Seriously, I hate stuff like this. Not the goading of finn...this entire exploitation thing.

 

[finn17]

I enjoy a bit of good-humoured goading...

:innocent:

Water off a duck\'s back mind you.....:flip:

 

[MarkusTay]

I just checked that link, and found I had already voted on it!

But as NSa said, I just saw the link and laughed. Why would anybody bother to click that? ???

 

[EricJ]

I give that the official stamp of \"sucking\"

how lame is that really?!

not the Wart-stick though, that\'s got to be patented fast

i agree goading finn is fun. i also know that he has a cupboard of sticks especially for this purpose!

 

[Infidel Castro]

They range from cocktail sticks to big nobbly oak trunks, each with its own particular use.

I looked at that site because i was expecting that to be the reason for Jim to point it out. It ain\'t available at the mo.

Send me YOUR money...free! lol

This is complete and utter BS. This guy needs to get at least a warning. Personally I\'d like to see his account yanked. I\'ve quit going to other sites and forums because of crap like this and we don\'t need to let it happen here. If there isn\'t a rule against it here then there should be. One that specifically says \"...and if you\'re caught doing it your ass is out!\"

Sorry, haven\'t had enough sleep this week and I\'m cranky....can you tell?

@Finn - thanks for turning this guy in, I hope something is done about it.

 

[vincegamer]

Is there no rule against posting an identical image a second time?
Maybe I could just post my top scoring mini 4 more times and bump up my ranking!

Finn passed it on to the proper channels. If someone is going to get yanked or even a warning, it probably should come from Chern Ann. This is his party, afterall. Now go get some sleep... lol

 

[Klute]

I sent the guy a pm with a link to this thread.

Maybe he will get the point,maybe he wont.
Maybe he doesnt give a pile of smelly dog doo.

I left him some arsey comments on the pics......

 

[supervike]

if anything else...

the best policing is done by the community...

 

[Zora]

Yes, I saw this one earlier. He didn\'t get a great vote from me...

 

[DarkStar]

Speaking of

Check out the comment and score on this guy I got today...hey, I\'m no Michaelangelo but still, I\'ve never voted on anybody less than a 5 before, because really in all honesty, everything is Tabletop worthy in my opinion, unless it doesn\'t have a base and it is laying on the ground. Anyways, my laugh for the day...check the comment from Hosea.

So, he\'s trying to tell me that this isn\'t worthy for his table. Must have a damn sweet collection for gaming. Hehe.
