made an Amazon affiliate link that was clO3f-20 instead of ours cl03f-20, and posted it on DDF for a long time he was making sales with his links on here, until we realized and had it fixed. We didn't make him pay anything back because what can you do, people are out there plotting twisted things and hate you just because bh you do well for yourself and your family.

How low are people to do that?  :'(

So sad..
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

From that TJB admin:


- But on that topic, it took years for someone to get to your 100 hat tips. It was a major story. That person who actually got to 100 was in our groups before we even knew it was him [Not implying he took our deals, he actually seems like an honest fellow]. But besides that, isn't it interesting that only after we started 2 years ago, does some random person get to 700 hat tips - in that exact same timespan? Let me ask you, was SD not around up until 2 years ago? I wonder what happened? Funny how that person isn't around in this discussion.


I agree with him 100%, the amount of spam on DDF dramatically spiked since these people started posting all his deals, so i wish it would stop... ;)

Also the whole idea of DDF is that you give credit to the DDFer and not to the original finder of the deal... ;)



ETA:

P.s. when someone wants to actually accomplish something they make a phone call and talk about it. The threats and blocking are counterintuitive to anything constructive.
My experience shows ignored conversations when PMing you or your boss, so...

What a load of BS this is.
The point of DDF is to help each other out. And yes, we also give rewards for pointing out good deals.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Shockingly enough, you get put on an ignore list when you create a campaign to get people to call and text my cell phone number to pressure me to delete a DDMS tidbit you didn't want me to share.

I already apologized to you about that, your number is not a secret, you are on groups just like me

I don't recall an apology. Last I recall you denied it until I posted a screenshot.
And my primary number is not part of any groups.

There is quite possibly no forum on Earth more lightly moderated than DDF.

I'm part of many forums, and DDF moderation is a joke compared to them.

Just try to post a HT to DD or DDF on a site like SD and watch how quickly they delete it. Even on a DD exclusive deal.

And FT...don't even get me started. Mods there must get paid based on how often they moderate posts and suspend users.

@Dan I'd love to hear if you can recall previous chats with TJB admins about this. @jj1000 seems to have no recollection.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Conversation? Never happened. We offered in good faith to talk and he refused.
Tracks IP addresses of DD users? Don't even know what that means, but he sounds unstable.

Never mind that he's one of countless Jewish DD copycats and has posted our deals and exclusive deals in the past, without ever HTing.

Not sure why anyone would feel the need to do anything more than compete.
@mbelsky missed this?

I've never spoken to him in my life.

I asked who he was as I'm not in the business of dealing with anonymous trolls and I offered to have a phone conversation even after he refused to say who he was.

I got nothing but a block in response. Sad.

What does this have to do with the price of tea in China?

Still dizzy, either from the Drake shake or Scapolomine withdrawal.
But yes, lots of fun.

Not sure why this conversation is even happening anymore. This guy is clearly jealous and unstable. If he hasn't yet realized that this is how the industry works, he never will. Let him do his thing. If he actually does something detrimental, respond accordingly.

LOL, I am shocked that it took him so long to get to Dan/JJ, he harassed every other deal site or wannabe in the past...

Like I said, he's unstable. This guy sounds like he has problems. The jaunts on Twitter were completely unprofessional. Anyone who actually cares to preserve the professionalism of their business wouldn't stoop to such levels.
