Re: Anonymous Ads. Advertisers can reward affiliates that advertise on listed sites
arsenische, you've accepted an ad on your service that says, "8GB Extra Dropbox Space → Pay what you want/can; No set price!"
On Freelancer.com, users are getting hustled by job posters who have them jumping through hoops to complete prequalifications for getting hired: pass an online typing test and send them a screenshot of the results, and sign up under them for a Free DropBox account "to receive work files". None of the applicants are hired. The same job is then posted and reposted under various dummy accounts, with tens and twenties of hungry applicants getting scammed by it. For each one that signs up, the referring DropBox user receives 1 GB of additional free space.
Just wanted to let you know what you were enabling with that ad.

Satori, thanks for your message. I was a little worried about this ad (you can see a little discussion here), that is why I set it rating of 50. I assume affiliates that allow gambling would be tolerant to this kind of service. If you don't want to see this ad, use affiliates with rating higher than 50.
Frankly speaking I am not sure what to do with it. Maybe this ad can be considered SCAM, in that case I should probably set its rating to somewhare about 20, so that most affiliates never show it. I don't have any strict guidelines yet. What do you think?
