Graham - Fake Entrecards

2/11/08 20:36

I sent out a couple messages to these users today. We plan to take the following action:

1.) Entrecard members should not approve ads to run on their site that mimic the Entrecard widget.

2.) Entrecard members should not design and promote advertisements for themselves that mimic the Entrecard widget.

This is a deceptive practice and members are going to have to decide if doing this is worth giving up their Entrecard membership.

Please report any sites you see doing this, and send them a message too telling them that what they're doing is de-valuing the Entrecard network and thus is in violation of our terms of service.

AND

Most likely, people thought it would be fun, effective, and didn't realize what they were doing is wrong. But it's deceptive trickery and we don't want to see it continue.
