The Gather troll is out this morning I see. I see posts about survey and money making sites everyday. Your not asking for anything yourself, your just posting info for the rest of us to use if we want. It's not spam. Gather will release it when they see that.

I'm so grateful for your freebies, dear! Don't stop because of a stupid app-hole, ok? x(
Your posts are not spam at all. They're useful to many of us indeed. Thank you for this great service :)

Elaine A. Oct 16, 2009, 10:54am EDT

thank you Luana ;-)

Freebies are the best, I can take the money saved from freebies and use it to pay down debt, (hubby's car repair, new washer - now need new dryer, and proably needing new kitchen appliances soon).

Luana S. Oct 16, 2009, 11:00am EDT

Indeed! :D
THANK YOU for sharing these great offers. ^^

Elaine ... What post was spammed? And how does anyone spam a post anyways?

Elaine A. Oct 16, 2009, 11:19am EDT

Nancy my post on Opinion Outpost - a survey site was flagged as spam

Nancy D. Oct 16, 2009, 11:21am EDT

Yeah, I found it. I see nothing out of line with your post.

Elaine A. Oct 16, 2009, 11:26am EDT

if you put a referral link in, the flag will stay
I am seeing more and more and more posts daily where ppl are putting in their referral links, which is against the TOS
you have to word it something like...if you are interested in more info on the program send me a message

in some ways I wish gather would allow us to post referral links as I have lots of programs that I would love to get some referrals in....but on the other hand, it would get way out of hand if they did!

I didn't see your post that you are referring to...at least I don't think I did!

Elaine A. Oct 16, 2009, 11:23am EDT

Marsha I have 6 posts, I found all with refferal links.

Not ONE of those was flagged.

How fair is that?
Most are worded the same way

Elaine A. Oct 16, 2009, 11:25am EDT

OoooooHhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe the 'flagger' was one of them....

Is it fair that someone posts this stuff while others can not no its not, but the fact is its against gather TOS, I know Im not allowed to post referral links or id have a crap load of them posted Ive been flagged. I guess if you have a problem with others posting their links flag them. It should be fair across the board, either everyone can post them or no one should post them. I think everyone should be allowed to post them not just the few who get by with it.

Elaine A. Oct 16, 2009, 12:33pm EDT

I have not seen any other posts, some blantent join this site I need the referral flagged. MY POINT exactly Angela! If others post & ARE not flagged - then why was I flagged?
I did not honestly think it was a big deal, I did it to let people know it was a instant redemption for Amazon.
If you have any referrals e-mail me them Angela I am always looking for sites ;-)

Elaine A. Oct 17, 2009, 12:01am EDT

Oh they must have not had a very nice vacation ;-)
That is why they are in a bad mood

Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 16, 2009, 8:34pm EDT

Oh, Elaine, you have a trolls. I'm sure if gather reads whatever has been flagged, they'll see many comments thanking you...much more than the one person who flagged you. Try not to let it bother you. Most of all....don't let it deter you from posting more bargains!!!!

Elaine A. Oct 17, 2009, 12:04am EDT

Amanda, Wow a troll...maybe I should let my 'roll collection' go after them, I have a few mean -looking ones ;-)
It does not bother me, it is just unfair, but then whoever said life was fair.
Thanks for your comment
