    Absolutely not. And you should be ****ing embarrassed you are one of those people. Imagine giving away your time for free for a few likes and upvotes on an anonymous forum. Talk about a sad waste of space.

    You've wasted the best part of today ranting and raving over the loss of £2.50.

    I'd count that as a bigger waste of time.

    A few hours on a lazy Saturday versus a decade of posting. Yep, that's the same.

    Most of the deals that are posted are by people who were themselves looking for their own deals on other websites, e.g. HUKD, and then spent the 10 seconds copying and pasting that deal here if they thought others might be interested.

    So yes, in your hours of ranting, you probably wasted more time than even someone who has posted helpful deals over many years. Well done.

    No one is going to be wondering why he was banned when it eventually happens.

    Just why it took so long....

    If you're going to keep perpetuating nonsense, then at least have some evidence to back it up. I've already told you that mods don't make any money from Boards, so all you're doing now is telling lies and insulting people.

    If people feel that strongly about not wanting Boards to earn money from affiliate links, they are easily blocked :)

    You're using the word "chat" very loosely indeed here

    I've reported a post earlier this morning anyway, just so it's flagged. Might be worthwhile for others to aswell

    BA mods clearly having a life. Frustrating and all as it can be to see that kind of carry on, mods are volunteers and we can't expect them to moderate on demand.

    Where did I blame the moderators? I simply suggested reporting posts as that way the mods actually know there's an issue. This is literally what the mods suggest...

    I didn't say you had. I've reported plenty of posts on that thread myself. It's frustrating that they're still there but like I said, clearly mods too busy having a life. I've been a mod on boards and part of the reason I quit was it was taking hours every single day and I needed to take my life back.

    I think it's absolutely disgusting people like you expect everything in life for free. When people spend 20 mins looking for a great deal to post that benefits you, a normal person outside boards.ie would be grateful for it rather than faux-offended that, God forbid, someone might have made a euro from their 20 mins of work. You know where you can shove your outrage.

    Why do you spend your time actively looking for deals to post? It never crossed my mind to do that...

    100% they do a great job and what was going on was daft.

    They'll be wielding the Ban hammer pretty hard when they clean it up I'd say.

    I assume that chap is banned. Won't be getting a response if so.

    Lads moaning were saying small money - 2.50 from a widely used link.

    Doesn't really matter if it breaches rules.

    Spend time?

    Open HDUK
    Copy link
    Paste to boards


    Hardly a full time job :rolleyes:

    Can someone clear this up for me...

    If someone copies and pastes the URL to a bargain on Amazon, boards get paid for being an affiliate/providing the link? I presume that's only if the sale goes through?

    If I put up a referral link on the bargain alerts forum, (no idea how to find that!) I get paid something and boards gets paid nothing? Again presuming a sale goes through, not just the click through?







    I've never felt more Grandpa Simpson in my life.

    So if each time the link gets clicked they get 2.50?
