New Members and Old members....Please read first (Group Rules and Instructions on GPT sites) MAY 2008

[rizzie]

With tremendous growth it is time to implement some rules.  I am currently working on them right now.  For the time being, until I get them up in a more organized manner...please do not post the same post twice, right after one another....or for that matter...2 of the same exact posts on the front page (a copy/paste).  IT comes off a bit spammy! Also, this groups main focus is on GPT sites and Survey sites.  I do welcome any other work at home opportunity, however, there are many posts about opportunities that cost money to start up.  I want to keep this group "Free".  If you have an opportunity, please explain it, and make sure there is NO start up costs.  Also, please don't try to re-direct people to another site unless you have explained the program (I have seen posts that "claim to be free" and when you click on the link there is $$$ charge).  All posts that require "fees" will be monitored, or deleted.  Lastly, until the rules are up....please don't come in other people's post spamming links that don't pertain to that post.  For Example...Jane Doe is advertising "my power mall"....And John smith comes in to Jane's post advertising his "cash crate" link...It really makes no sense when you can start a post on your own:)  Ok...so within the week there will be a more organized set of rules!

Lastly, if there is something new you have to add to your post...like a big promotion....for the time being...you can so so...as long as it is something important or new!  Please don't just put "BUMP" in your response...or it may be deleted.




Now, I am also re-doing instructions for GPT sites!  I will leave this up until I get everything together.  On the GPT sites...there are some free offers labeled as Email/zip submits....they are very easy to do and pay.  Not all of them will credit for one reason or another, but if you have luck with them, they are great money makers.

FIRST OFF>>>>HERE IS GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS ON GPT SITES.  I can not stress, enough, that you CAN NOT DO OFFERS MORE THAN ONCE ON ANY OF THE SITES!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING OFFERS

ON GPT SITES

Make sure you use your own information when completing any of the offers listed on any GPT sites. If you're found to be using fraudulent information, your account will be terminated immediately and all monies earned will be forfeited. This can't be stressed enough. AND YOU CAN ONLY DO AN OFFER ONE TIME - EVER!

Only complete offers for which you have a genuine interest, and do not cancel a trial offer before you've even received the product or service. This can cause the offer to be denied and, if you already received payment for the offer, it can be taken back out of your account.

To begin, find an offer you're interested in.  Click on the banner or text that describes the offer. That will bring up the offer itself.  Fill out the information asked for. If it's an e-mail/zip submit offer, most times you'll just have to put in either an e-mail address or zip code, but sometimes you need to complete the 2nd page, too, with mailing information. If you need to do that it will be stated in the offer description. Make sure to leave the last page of the offer on your screen for a couple of minutes. If it's a survey you need to continue to the page that says either "Thank You!" or "Congratulations!" to get credit. If you want the free gift they're offering, you have to continue on and complete all the requirements. If you sign up for a trial offer or for a membership to something, you just have to complete everything they ask for. Once you do what's required for a particular offer, you need to come back to the website where you saw the offer originally, like Bowling for Cash, and put your user name in the block under the offer description and click submit. If that block isn't there it'll say 'Mark As Pending' and you just have to click that and the system automatically knows you did the offer.  If it’s a trial offer or a sign-up-for offer, and there’s a space that says to Paste E-mail, you need to copy and paste the e-mail you received from the advertiser verifying that you did the offer before you submit it. The offer then goes into pending, no matter which method you used to submit it.  You don't have to do anything else after that. The site owners will get online reports showing which offers credited for which members, and then they go in and approve those offers. You may or may not get an e-mail from them telling you an offer approved. Not all offers will credit – only a certain percentage of them do.

If you need any help...please don't hesitate!  Again...the lists below are just sign up offers (free) that are a little easier to approve for some people:)

Almost done with the whole "rules" thing!  But I also want to point out that some people are replying to their own thread (I don't mind this if a site puts out a brand new promotion and you want to let people know about it)...but I am seeing that people are replying to bump their thread to the top...but deleting their reply, to make it appear as if it is a brand new post)....Why not just start a new post if  yours is burried on the second or third page?  I will and have been deleting posts like these that are original posts written days before...and bumped to the top...with no replies or anything, lol!  It is a bit obvious and I have been receiving many abuse reports about it:)

Thanks to everyone for being such awesome members, on another note!

Sorry for such a harsh title, lol...but I am getting a ton of abuse reports from people who are reporting others for breaking the rules. If some may have noticed...I have been deleting posts like crazy where there are several of the "same" exact posts on the first page, from the same users. I have even sent messages to some...explaining the rules...however it is still going on. It is basically spamming, to be honest. I don't mind if you are promoting different sites in different posts on the front page...but people are copy and pasting the same post and posting multiple threads with that copy/paste, continuously, to keep like 2-4 on the front page. This is something listed in the group rules. I hate to do so, but I will be forced to block members if it continues, without further warning. Please keep in mind, too, that some GPT sites like Cash Crate, swatcash, well...basically all gpt sites have a huge spamming policy. I have also had many other gpt group owners approach me to see if it is happening here, like it is in their groups...so not a good thing:( Just wanted to give a fair chance for those who need to re-read the rules.

Deleting your own posts that are still on the front page (but near the middle or bottom) and then posting that same post just to keep it at the top...is also not allowed.

BY THE WAY...I am blocking accounts for about a week or so (for those not following the rules), and then I will probably un-block them (everyone deserves another chance). I am sorry it had to come to this but I have put up announcements before and the rules are pretty much highlighted. If and after I unblock accounts...and it continues to happen, I will have to delete accounts:(



Thanks:)

Moving to the top, so people don't miss the rules!
