To fellow members of FnF,
Commercial Banners are not allowed in lowyat and therefore banners like carlist are to be removed from your signatures asap. Please remove your signatures by today as I will nuke those signatures on sight and issue warning to those who accept offers from carlist.com.my to advertise their banners in their siggie.

Just found that they have been approaching some of the members and paying them to put up the list, even though the admins had talked to their boss and agreed that they do it the proper way. I guess there must have been some misunderstanding within their company.
ah liew

that was also one of the few reasons this whole carlist thing got out of hand when some of the admins detected dupe accounts.

Hi all, my name Yew Jin, the marketing exec responsible for recruiting lowyat.net members to use our company's banner. Firstly I am sorry that this drastic action was taken.

I have a couple of comments though.

1) I did not spam, I message Senior Members only with more than 5000+ posts and review their post to ensure they are not spammers before I offered the RM 0.05/post offer to them. This is to ensure and I specifically told them not to spam as we do not count HI/BYE/THANK YOU post. The participants can tell you that we did reject some of their posts in our count and they have been notified of it as well via reports. I only messaged a select few, the numbers should be less than 30. 

2) I message sleepwalker BEFORE i started this, my nick was "floss". And he DID NOT MENTIONED this is wrong. This was a week ago or more if I am not mistaken. I thought it was ok since his banner was larger than Carlist.my's banner and it is also advertising another site.

I just want to tell the participants of this program the company will honour the agreement and pay the outstanding amount owed based on the last report sent. I will be contacting you via email shortly.

1) I did not say that it was OK either. Remember that I did ask you to email the admins of this site to get their approval. I never gave the go ahead for you as I was waiting for the admins to decide too.

2) Your carlist banner is commercially related, meaning that your business benefits from the banner and you are also paying people for it. For somebody who runs a business via a web site, it's sad that you can't tell the difference between my banner and your commercial banner.

3) My banner does nothing as it does not contain any link and it refers to a personal forum that belongs to me and it has the approval of the admin, namely se7en himself. Your banner on the other hand, has a link that refers to a commercial site and that you are paying people for posting with your banner. You will not find another banner of mine unless somebody copied it and put it in their siggie on their own (which I doubt would happen since it's not the best looking banner around).

4) Finally, if I'm not mistaken, you did talk to our admins and the answer was NO. That was also on the same day that you message me. You could have recalled your banners but you didn't, hence I have to put up this message to remove them after consulting with the admins. Removal on sight was an instruction from the admin to all moderators/staff, not just to me. You know how to contact the member to put it up but you didn't know how to contact them to remove it.

sorry guys, i just wanted to voice my 2 cents on this issue and my account being suspended, i have no way of reaching you guys. By the way,

the rule:-
Action: Commercial-oriented posts, blatant commercial advertising, referral links, links in signatures for commercial purposes are not allowed. The exception would be links to threads in the Trade Zone in your signature.
Result: Links removed and a warning will be issued, repeat offenders will have their accounts suspended.

If the link is removed but banner maintains, is that considered ok?

You have been in contact with our admins. Talk to them instead.

sorry dude, thought you were in charge of this case mah. The admin that emailed us to warn us, was because some of our employees, nick : IvanDass starting PM-ing ppl and spamming them about our website. This is what happens when you got a young cousin helping you on the website. I already apologize for that.
This is a different matter altogether, I recruited only senior members. and message them individually, I didn't SPAM them, all in all < 30 got invited to this program? We did not get a NO from the Admins.

They guy that emailed me was WK. He is still trying to get me the rate cards to advertise on lowyat.net.

WK is admin. His nick is wkkay. He is trying to get you the rate cards to properly advertise on lowyat.net instead of approaching our members directly.
