Warrior Classic
The 1 reason why I am not going to post on Warrior Forum again (and a little review)
And the reason is, that I got banned. I joined Warrior Forum. Made a few posts. 7 to be exact. And then got banned for life.
It was one of the most interesting experiences I had on any forum. I was quite excited to join, and after I did, I got to read the huge amount of information the forum accumulated over the years. I have to attest that I spent good 2 hours just searching topics of interest and reading. And replied to a few of them. And then I opened the thread that got me banned. It was not a thread per say, but rather an offer for a service. It was the type of service that I just could not leave unnoticed. Someone was selling votes on Digg. 300 votes for $80. I am not sure if it is a good price, but I know it is strictly against Digg's Terms and Conditions. And against my belief what online marketing should be all about. Long story short, after I exchanged 2 replies with the provider, I was banned. Not him, but me for pointing out that his service is less than honest and can get the clients in trouble with Digg. I guess the moderators considered my comments inflammatory. And they should have.
I was pissed. But after calming down, I got to think. Where is the online marketing heading? Do we really need to resort to cheating to make a buck? Is the competition that fierce that any little advantage, honest or not, needs to be exploited?
Cheaters and snake oil salesmen are in every industry. I decided to do online marketing and online business in general for two reason - I love it and I believe in it. But I could not do it should I think it is not possible to succeed without cheating or without taking the high road. No, I am not a saint, I just believe honesty should be part of any business, online and offline. But unfortunately, the fact that Warrior Forum allows to have these low-blow offers, and the fact that many people were actually buying these services made me feel a bit uneasy about my chosen business. Can you really succeed without cheating? Well, I still believe you can. And I will do my best to prove myself right.
I only hope that there are more people thinking the way I do. I know there are. I saw many of them even on the Warrior Forum. Helping people, spending their time giving advice to newbies. Encouraging each other. Sharing their stories. But with the number of people participating, it is inevitable to find some rotten apples, as well as some pretend wannabes giving advice they googled from Wikipedia.
The other thing I just could not figure out yet were the special offers. Anything from classic "I will show you how to earn $XX amount" to $20 logos. I saw some offers that were clearly just exaggerated at best and plain scams at worst. But I also saw some offers that looked rather interesting. As it often is, you get a mixed bag of BS and gold. And as with any offer you receive online - caution is a must. Because as the saying goes - you get what you paid for. Except sometimes, you may not even get that.....
The amount of information on Warrior Forum is just huge and it takes time to sort out the good from the bad. Unfortunately, the mods don't seem to be helping much in this area. But it is time well spent, because the things you can learn there are very valuable. And that's the reason, why I, despite of feeling I was unjustly banned, and despite of not being able to post, I still keep coming back. And so should you.
