Spam people on other sites with ref links to get points and win games! But don't you dare do the same on PB!

This picture seems appropriate for the situation.

People can get banned from PB if you give the mods some proof that they spammed.

So wait, they're not allowed to have a referral system and an event cause they don't want spam in their shoutbox? Are you drunk or just stupid?

Spamming the PB referral link will get you banned if it is reported.

They are basically saying two things:

  • "Referrals are good, when they are making you work to promote our site"
  • "Referrals are bad if you post any on our site"

If you don't see the contradiction here then you seriously need to get your head examined.

The intent of the referral system is that you give the referral link to your actual friends and family, not that you spam the link and hope that people end up clicking it. It's entirely consistent to both use a referral system and disallow referral spam.

PB is a shit site, with literally no support..if you ever encounter a problem you will get no help and no response. So i know two things for sure: First i will never ever contribute there, i stay on Lvl 1 and second never ever buy their upcoming bundle, which they announced more than half year ago, cause iam afraid i get no support, when encounter problems.

Most questions can be asked and will be answered in the shoutbox by the users. Only 3 people deal with the whole site and they get a lot of stupid and unnecessary questions (just like here) so they're overwhelmed. OP's picture would be perfect for you too since you just admitted that even though you hate the site you use it.

It would be pointless to spam PB refs on PB

My point is that they are promoting and encouraging ref spam on other sites, while the same thing is a big no-no on theirs.

From the event rules:
"Do not attempt to spam or exploit the system to gain an unfair advantage. This includes spamming your link on sites that do not allow referrals, or tricking people to sign up with your referral link. You can however post it on your own website, your Youtube video, your social pages or any forums or sites you frequent which allows posting referral links. Using link shorteners are allowed as long as you do not spam. If we receive a complaint regarding you excessively spamming on a site, you will be permanently removed from Playblink."

I'm looking forward to the next few days.

One of the groups I'm in (not SG related) put out an announcement last night promoting playblink.

Guess they were going for referrals as part of this event.

That explains all these messages I have been getting. A shame I quit the site months ago.
