If you have any link ANYWHERE in your profile, signature, ANY threads and posts here...and that link is any sort of online advertising, pay-per-click, pyramid scheme, or any revenue generating system or program...you had best remove those links because from here on out if I come across any of this kind of bullshit in my travels here the person will:

1) Be permanently banned
2) have their link URL added to the censor list
3) Read #1 again


Thanks!

EDIT: this does not apply to people who run server hosting companies, etc. This is simply about me trying to stop the retards who sign themselves up for some shady money-making scheme and then make stupid posts here in order to get their link some exposure.

About time somone made this rules official, supported.

TIP: Sticky this and move to "General", perhaps?

[SfPwns]

That's a good move, kaisersouse.

So its only ok to spam links that generate revenue as long as they're for a hosting services / the money goes to players in high positions ? :\

I could understand you banning users who would SPAM these links, or even make posts to just gain attention to said links. What i cant understand is banning a player who would use such services to link to THEIR personal work or scripts. I was debating on releasing a really nice script and using a sort of money generating system, just so i can afford to pay for an extremely over prised host / hosted listing; In this day and age your server wont succeed if you do not get these two things. Looks like thats no longer an option though :\.

Its a shame when running a sa-mp server becomes all about how much money you have. People who are still in school become at a giant disadvantage to those that are in the working field, so they rely on such petty inconsistent ways of paying their high server bills.

Indeed, good work.

I agree, why are only people in higher positions allowed to post links to make themself money? I think NOBODY should be able to do this, or everybody should be able to do this, I mean, insn't it an OPTION to the player who clicks a link in a signature?

And as kyosaur said, people who don't have a job (usually because of school/college) are at a huge disadvantage and won't be able to pay for the hosting services used to build population and popularity on their server.

(I could never make a server due to me not being out of school thus making no money, the only way I could think of is to begg parents, which I don't do because it's kinda' low, and to make some kinda' click for money link to scripts/maps I make, I never done this ofcourse, but I was thinking of it, would've been quite a good idea now I think of it..)
And as I said, it's their OPTION to click a link.

Not supported TBH.

I go to school 5 days a week (well not for much longer) and I still manage to work a whole day on Saturday. No need for crappy online stuff.

Thats just you. All of my money goes towards staying alive and sometimes to school, i have nothing more to shell out; if i had the money i would in a heart beat.

There is no harm in letting players use these revenue generating sites to link to THEIR work; I understand the banning for spaming the links/making useless posts to gain attention to the links, im all for that. I think its senseless to ban the players linking to their own work though, as im willing to bet majority of the players are doing it to earn money for a host so they can be on the same playing field as everyone else. In the end its a win win situation, the players get a host, and the hosting companies earn more money.

[kaisersouse]

People are misunderstanding me.

I'm specifically talking about "pay per click" links, not links to their own companies, etc.

Anything that generates someone money if they click on a link, complete a survey, sign up for magazines, etc...THAT is the type of stuff I'm trying to stop here.

If you have your own hosting company and have a link to it in your sig, I couldn't possibly care less about those. Same with linking to a game you host or play. I have 0 problems with those types of links.

Sorry to be so vague.
