[Selling] Scammer Database Promotions

For information on the project, visit the following thread: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=4388155. Also feel free to check out our website: http://www.hfscammerdb.com.

Advertising With the Scammer Database
The Scammer Database is designed to help protect members against scammers on HF. Members that have open and unresolved deal disputes are added to our database and are displayed live as you browse HackForums. You can identify a potential scammer on the following pages:
  • Index Page
  • Showthread Page
  • Profile Page
  • Reputation Pages (Received/Given)
  • Private Messages
This way if anybody tries to contact you on HF and you see their name in red, you can easily pull up a list of their open deal disputes. Handy, huh?

Statistics
As seen by this thread, almost 300 members have said that they use the scammer database script. And that is only the people that took the time to vote. According to my tracking (which I only started mid-way through the previous version of the userscript), there have been over 600 total installations of the userscript. This number will grow as word is spread and as more potential scammers are added to the database (currently over 550+!).

Just by the numbers above, your promotion ad will have a far reach to members of HackForums, most of which are using the script for marketing anyway - the perfect audience!

Stipulations
Ads must be text in nature, which means no images. You can use BBCode to format your message and add links as you please. You can also choose the border color (top and bottom) of the displayed message at the top of the screen. The only two colors you cannot use are gold and lime (and close variants that look exactly alike). These colors are reserved for updates from the developer and are not ad content.

Your ad can cover multiple lines, but I am manually approving each promotion, so if I feel it is too large, I will ask you to shorten it before accepting any payment.

Once payment has been made, your ad will be placed for the time allotted. I will PM you the moment the ad goes up and that PM will act as a timestamp for when the ad was placed.

Ads that are visible at the top of the screen can be minimized by the user, but they will reappear every 6 hours.

Pricing
Since this is the first time ads are coming to the HF Scammer Database, I am still working on pricing. The prices here are subject to change at any time, and prices will only be locked in once a payment has been made.

All payments will be via BTC at this point.

Current prices:
  • 1 day - $10
  • 3 days - $25
  • 1 week - $45

I am currently not offering any duration longer than 1 week. At the end of the 1 week time slot, you can always renew your ad with another payment.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to PM me. I will get back to you as soon as possible!

All deals will be done via HF PM system.
Once payment has been made, the deal is locked in and your ad will be displayed. No refunds.
I have the right to refuse any member/promotion.

The pricing is very affordable and is sure to generate sales.
I will defiantly be advertising with you soon:)

A lot of people were upset about the ads but I understand why you are doing them. I would definitely buy if I had something I needed the ad for lol.

If you read the GOLD banners, you would see there is an update so that you can hide ALL ads. See the red button at the far right? CLICK IT.

Advertisements make me feel like I clicked on the wrong kind of porn website. I get fucking raped with ads.

Actually, that says there was a bug with Firefox users. Which I'm not. Either way, I'm no longer using it. Was perfect before you added ads. Somebody even offered to host it for free so it's not server costs.

That is why you can hide them. 1 click and gone.. it's almost like magic.

Seems like a good idea for all parties. Good luck with sales.
I'm interested, but can you make a new pool now, since you have added ads?
I just want to see how many is still using it after the ads got added.
