A special day?

[egghead]

cyclone, I see the ads appearing again so it looks like they only suspend the account for 1 day?

I see many ads are gone now. How much is the $ loss due to this violation?

Not much, but enough to pay monthly hosting fee, fee for programmers to add more functionalities and debugging occasionally, etc, etc. VB will keep going.

I just feel 'BUAY KUM GUAN' if they really disable the adsense account. I have strived to comply with the 'adsense program guidelines'.
The violation was done by a new member who abused the thread on "Advertise Here" to promote his website. I have deleted the thread upon receiving the email from Google Adsense Team.

Hi Cyclone,

Are there many people viewing the ads that these "new members" post? If not, is it worth maintaining it and risk abused? These "members" have no risks at all, and the site is taking the 100% blame.

Spike in guest are probably bots. This forum won't be popular with the masses as to post here you need to homework on company's financials. Most retail investors are still speculators chasing the latest hot stock ...

I appealed and they reacted fast. The account was suspended for 1 day only.

From the 'Views' statistics, many people are viewing the threads too. It is not a matter of many or not people are viewing that section, but the purpose of the section. So far, it has served its purpose well. So the section will be maintained.

I have modified the system to moderate posts on that section for new members. Hope that it will mitigate the risk. Thanks.
