Wasting 4 mil on silly ads.

Submitted by angel_shortcake on Sun, 12/04/2009 - 8:28pm
Does it bug anyone else that people will spend 4 mil nps on a pointless 4 mil ad? There's someone there that posted 5 in a row saying each word of "I have too many Neopoints" as a different ad. That is valuable space! And I really hope that it someone's real ad doesn't end up under them on peak day, though they shouldn't if they posted at midnight NST. But still... GRR! I seriously waste about 5 valuable seconds a day reading that :P

you know what i,m rather anoyed at this issue, i hate spamming! so i decided to submit a NB spam report, i hope TNT gets it in time enough to do something an hopefully help you all with your ad placements. here my report i sent. Type of Abuse (what did they do?): Spamming Where did this abuse happen? Notice Board this user has posted a bunch of 4mill an one 3+mill NB posts that say nothing but 1 word on them. if you read them all it says "" "DO NOT NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST YOUR SETS WE CONTROL TRANSMISSION WE CAN ADJUST THE THE VERTICAL" "" . the rules for posting on the NB states. "" The ads can be for anything, your homepage, your shop, your pet's homepage, anything you want as long as it is Neopets-related! "". all those posts have nothing to do with neopets, shops, homepages, or anything neopets-related. it is just out an out spamming an sure seems to be done with some evil intent behind it. otherwise why else do it an spend all those millions of nps. i am quiet miffed an rather annoyed in having to scrool down through these posts to read the proper ads that were posted by users not spamming. thank you! Merry Christmas TNT! hopefully, something will be done to fix it soon. Merry Christmas to you all! ziggy

Its not just the 4m ones but the ones who slot in just under them.. They will get even less exposure than they did before

I think that is very irritating and wasteful. I mean, if you just HAVE to put some weird thing (I am assuming it has to do with battling or whatever because he mentions "sets"), then just do ONE ad and, please, make some sense! I hope your report gets seen Ziggy! This aggravated me a lot for some reason.

Honestly how can you get so upset? He has money to spend, he's not breaking rules, if he wants to spend a billion on NB ads then so what? 'Have a Coke, and a smile, and shut the fuck up' :D BTW, nice ad sweet.

'Have a Coke, and a smile, and shut the fuck up' :D BTW, nice ad sweet.[/quote] Yeah. My ad went haywire a few hours ago (someone in the ad noticed it). It was getting too much hits. LOL. I was at the school library like 3 hours ago and it was perfectly fine (its Saturday here so I was able to go to our school computer and browse neopets. AKA. No one was there. HAHA). Good thing it didn't go haywire a few days ago. It might have changed our sales dramatically. Its funny though because I only see the error message in internet explorer and not my mozilla firefox. But anyways, its still an error and I will fix it by nagging my brother's paid image hosting space. SORRY to those that were in it.

[quote=_chaostx]I am in it. Maybe. I have no idea what day or ad I am in. Am I in that one?[/quote] Nope. You're in page 3. After the sixteen 4M advertisements. +) Oh. I just want to say thanks to those that neomailed me/private messaged me about it. I wouldn't have known if you guys didn't let me know because my mozilla firefox is still showing the advertisement.
