I may be being Smiley: tinfoilhat, but there's a low-postcount, low-IQ wonder called sockerdudexx advertising his "forum" in his sig, as well as pluggin it in this thread. Not only would I not want to frequent any forum advocated by him based on his post quality, but I am suspicious of a low-postcount, low-IQ wonder wanting people to visit his forum.

Actually, I have already spoken to him and allowed him to keep that in his sig until evidence proves that it's a gold selling thing. So far, it's just some site of his and appears to be ok so I've let it go for now.

edit - however, since I told him to not spam his forum but leave it in his sig, that thread is locked.

I really don't want to sound mean but...

After looking at the site's 4 topics (with no reply's), it seems like 90% of the google advertisements on the site are for powerleveling/gold sites. Of course, there seems to be 7 different advertisements that show up and 3 of them are for these services....Of the 30 or so page views I did, I would say around 90% of the advertisements shown were for those 3 gold/powerleveling sites.

While I understand that he has no control over what advertisements are displayed, he can block certain types of advertisements. It does not seam like he is attempting to do this. I am not exactly sure what the Terms of Use are for WoW fan sites, but if I remember correctly, you cant have any of those types of advertisements showing or even link to a website that shows those advertisements.

Just my Smiley: twocents
