Why was the ipod thread locked ?

[Zach]

It is not a scam.

Should his link have been removed for being a filthy spammer ? Yes.
THe Ipod shit is not a scam however. There is also a flatscreen site.

Is it difficult to get the free shit ? Somewhat. Does that make it a scam ?
No. It works.

It should have been left open for others who might have wanted to know more.

Am I the only one around here who actually does research before forming an opinion ? :unsure:

Usually "free" things require you to do more work than it would take to actually earn the money to buy the free thing.

[Zach]

Perhaps. But it all depends on how bad you want something and how hard you are willing to work for it.

If people want to go out and do the requirements for their free <whatever> then more power to them. The ignorance displayed in the other thread, however, is just so typical of this place.

Jesus could walk on fucking water to their drowning ass, offer to save them, and they'd still be skeptical.

[Lefteris_D]

It's a scam and we dont want them here.

Such things are never given "for free".

[Zach]

You never cease to amaze me

[Lefteris_D]

We always closed such threads and this is not the only place where this happens.

[Zach]

You fail to grasp the concept however.

You closed it on a basis of being a scam. Its not a scam. All parties involved get what they were promised, provided all terms of agreement are met. In this case, refer some friends, and have them complete an offer, and complete an offer yourself.

You can always complete an offer and cancel any service you don't want.. Its foolishly simple.

[onewecallgod]

i know its not a "scam" per say, but its a pyramid "scam". people do get their free (or at a very low cost) stuff, but most dont

[hitmonlee]

i think the mods here are a little lock happy.

for example


why was this thread closed:

http://forums.emulator-zone.com/index.php?...opic=1732&st=15 (http://forums.emulator-zone.com/index.php?showtopic=1732&st=15)

Closed, no reason to be open.


well i could say that about a lot of threads. more importantly, there is no reason for it not to be open.

why was this closed?
because it wasn't flattering to the mod. he made a bad joke that made no sense. had i made that thread, im sure it would still be open.

In fact... I don't remember the reason... maybe I was drunk sorry. -_-

[Lefteris_D]

I really have no idea why this has turned into an issue all of a suddern.

If you really want to get free stuff like an ipod or a flat screen(another popular scam) I bet those sites appear alot in google so there is no need to promote them here as well.

This is a policy we have been following for years along with many other forums, I dont think it will change any time soon.

People can't get money from a bank account just by knowing your name, e-mail and address. And why would your mother ask if you had a credit card if she was missing money from her own bank account? I have to suggest that you're either making this story up, or you and your mother have a serious misunderstanding of bank accounts, credit cards and the Internet.

I know you're young Corey, but you would come across a lot better over the Internet if you thought about things before you typed.

[nesman]

This is a scam. So far I haven't heard of anyone getting a free iPod.

[Jet Set Willy]

It is NOT a scam. Listen to what Neco is saying and what this thread is all about. Whether it is worth the time or not, it is a legitimate scheme.

[nesman]

Fine, a scam or not, I still haven't heard of anyone who actually got a free iPod
