An Unmentionable Topic

Another "Get Rich Scheme" designed for Morons by Morons.

quote:
Profit from your store without ever buying products or fulfilling orders!

Sort of commerce without the commerce - almost like selling perpetual motion!

The trouble is the world is full of gullible* idiots.

Time it was deleted!

*Gullible, meaning 'easily deceived or cheated; naive; credulous'



Come on AS what about a "report this inappropriate post" button? It would also be handy when members get a bit "heated" and call each other names!

Now that commercials are allowed, can I advertise my 100% efficient garden bug destroyer?

------------------------------------------------
Yup 100%! Not many others can claim that. Only $5. Greenfly? Wasps? Flys? You name your insect. 100% efficient! None of your so called fly sprays can touch that. Environmentally friendly - no smell - no chemicals - no residue - not harmful to pets - Only $10

----------------------------------------------
For your money you get a solid bit of craftsmanship - two blocks of wood - labelled A & B. Place your insect (any type) on block A, bring down block B sharply. 100% efficient.
Often copied, never equalled.

Trouble is the world is full of gullible folk.

Paul, this is what you actually posted:

I particularly like your including “gullible” in your post.

I know exactly what you mean – Mrs. M continually edits/deletes posts on me, but the difference is that she does them well after I’ve responded to them.

Since you think the sun sets in Mrs. M’s behind, I left the following link as advise that you might benefit from:
https://community.auctionsniper.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/38.../559109619#559109619

I did leave it out on the forum for a few minutes, but then decided that my link was in essence doing what I was suggesting you not do. I felt somewhat confident that neither you nor anyone else saw it, and if they did, then no harm done.

Now, as far as YOUR message vanishing, why bring me into this? Are you upset that by my posting Chatter’s and Mrs. M’s post that that somehow “forced” you to delete your post? Maybe it’s something else?

There IS a button for this – . Feel free to make a contribution to this forum. Also, you shouldn’t try to save “the idiots” from them self – that’s a bit arrogant on your part. After all, they might not think they are “idiots”.

Now, I did leave this as an encouragement for Mrs. M to report it (I think she likes to do that kind of stuff):
https://community.auctionsniper.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/78...021024801#3021024801

Remember saying this, Come on folks, the motto of these boards should be: "help with humour & no malice" and also be cool man - peace & goodwill to all. It’s so much easier to give advice then it is to follow it, isn’t it Paul.

It appears you could benefit from the following: believing is seeing.

P.S. Paul, could you delete your private topic to me? Unlike some, I don’t get my ovaries off having these hidden conversations.

Paul, you learn fast. Glad you and Mrs. M also deleted all those posts on this thread. Now, if I could just get you to delete your latest private post to me - please?

Unless I’m missing something, the miscreant thread referred to at the start of this thread as the "Unmentionable Topic", which was titled “New S*i*e Browser, a new way to Sn*pe!” ("*" for protection), has been removed.

I just reviewed this forum’s “Terms of Service” (it’s at the bottom of the page for those interested) and found the following: Please note that advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are inappropriate in this community.

Personally, I think Jabber's t-shirts should be exempt, but that's just me.

Also, here are some posts that I dug up regarding the prevailing wisdom on how to best deal with these:
