Author Topic: Quick Question (Read 1317 times)

Haha. You wouldn't get banned on AoT for pyramid quotes, but you could be banned for a pyramid scam. What did you do, try and sell a get rich quick scroll or something?

Anyway, you will be unbanned in 3 days. So I wouldn't worry about it. But you did make my day, so cookie for you.

Now that I think of it, the guy selling a "free" copy of Windows Vista Beta never got banned. Apparently people don't seem to realize that the beta is free, since I keep seeing posts about how awesome people seem to think they are for getting it, since no computer operating system would ever be released publicly for testing.

What's a pyramid scam? And i didnt get banned from Aot, i got banned from forums

This was forum ban, not an AoT ban.

It was because you posted a link to one of those referral based "make real money for doing nothing" scams.

Anything where you get paid if you sign up X number of other people is a pyramid scheme. It is one of the oldest scams out there. All of those free iPod/free flatscreen/free whatever referral plans were pyramid schemes.
