Sponsor Blacklist
Heya this is my first thread in here so please play nice if this is the lamest idea you've heard today .
I just read a bit in the Reality Cash thread and I'm thinking: Why not make a GGnJ's sponsor blacklist? Or just a list of "We think these guys suck because....". It would be nice when your looking for a new sponsor and this one sounds oh-so-great but then you find out they are cheating bastards that don't pay or what have you. I do realise that for a sponsor to get on the list you would need more than one dude coming in here saying he got cheated by xx. But I'm sure you guys already have some sponsors that you would like to see on a list like this ^_^. What do you think?

As for the realitycash - they shouldnt be on the blacklist, they have some mess in their organization but they have great converting sites , and Im getting paid by epassporte always on time.
Just the checks are messed up, Im also waiting for my lost check to be resent for a long time but lets not cover a sponsor in dirt just because of that. |

NO! Im not a female - but being a dragon, I do eat them.

Actually - there are a few sponsors that each LL wont take - but its usually either in the rules or has been discussed here quite a bit when we find a sponsor cheating. If you look at GG's rules you can see that he has two listed if I remember correctly, and I personally wont accept MartinPeak stuff
The problem with an overall LL sponsor ban is that there are some LL owners that will list stuff others wont |

Not gonna happen - everyone's views on sponsors posted on the board are opinion - for us to have anything official would not be good for business.

I used to do this on the GBU and who knows...I may do it again one day. I don't think Reality Cash should be on anyones blacklist. They just have to rearrange their priorities a bit.

One can avoid possibly troublesome sponsors by doing a search for their name on the board and reading the results. A list of boycotted sponsors would be dangerous. Possibly grounds for legal action. (I'd have to ask Hazel for more clarification though ) The boards do all of the sponsor filtering we need. I'm sure that that month old thread about Reality Cash popping up in boardtracker has done them much more than $175 worth of harm. Once they pay me, I'll start accepting galleries and sites that promote them again. I may or may not promote them, but I'm not about to tell others to avoid them.
The sites that have banned sponsors is because they were really burned by them and have proved those sponsors to be cheats. That takes a lot more than a missing check.

Yeah - if you hit Board Tracker with a couple sponsor names, you'll see who's good, who's bad, who has a problem, who resolved it in a pleasant manner & who got fucked.

With the exception of Jim - I have never banned any sponsor.
However, some webmasters have been blacklisted because of overused content and/or template sites. Never banned the sponsor, just the individual webmasters. Like I don't get checks from them too?? hint, find another category than lesbian!

Yeah I agree with useless warrior ... definitely grounds for legal action...
... unless there is solid proof of a sponsor doing something bad, and it would be hard for greenguy and jim to take that stance going off what someone else is reporting... and quite risky too. |

If there is nobody out there, that's a lot of real estate going to waste!

I would suggest a rating system instead.
Only members can rate sponsors and only once. Maybe a list of fixed reasons for the rating (so people can't write insults etc): 1- They owe me money and won't pay. 2- They never return their emails. 3- They cheat with the stats. ... 9- Great list of sites. 10- Converts really well. No legal problem and it would be more reliable in the long run. |
