I am calling shenanigans against the british bastard Trev the Tyrant in the challenge.

Yeah Trev, I mean you, don't give me that innocent "who me ?" look dammit :yowsa:

Anyway, heres the deal.

One of the parts of the contest is "Total Conversions, including emails collected"

So, we have not designated that these have to be valid opt in emails and that part is fine.

However, the brit has put a little script on his page that "steals" the email from the computer rather than collecting the email addy.

Now, on the surface, technically that is not in violation of any rule. However, we have a rule that we agreed upon that stated that we were not going to support any spyware, adware, scumware and their ilk. I think this little british bastard script acts a little too much like scumware and should therefore be classified as such.

So, Mr. Umpire (Dravyk) that is what I am charging.

I await your ever so thoughtful, intelligent and illuminating decision (did I ever tell you how good you look lately Drav ? You lost some weight or something ? Cause man, you be looking fine, ya know :yowsa: )

I think he should get extra marks for initiatives.

A trick like that makes the difference between making it and just making.

Ya know, he doesn't need your fucking help to make a case, ya know.

You sound just like that fucking golfer a couple of years ago, I don't have any legs, so I should be able to use the fucking cart...waaaaa waaaa waaaa waaaaa

Life deals you something, you live with it, it doesn't give you license to become a fucking scammer and break all the rules.

Ya know !!

Life without rules would be like.... Fun or something.

And we cannot fucking have that.

Depends on what our umpire says dammit.

How come you cut the part that said "on the surface," That prefaced that, huh ?

Playing spin doctor for the babbling Brit ?

You watch fox news, don't you ?

Admit it, you're just a fucking ditto head asshole right wing extremeist scumbag, aren't you.

There's a lot of difference between a "point of order" and a whine with the biggest being that if I do it, it's a point of order. But if some right wing Brit Loving America Hating little Nazi Commie Ass KiSSing scumbag does it, it's a whine.

As he approaches this par 3 hole, trepidation on his face, he needs something glorious here to retake the lead .. He's anxious as he spies the fairway .. a slow gentle wind up and a perfect execution on that swing .. Its looking good .. very good infact .. it lands just short of the pin, a very tricky green to predict .. I don't believe it ... its rolling towards the hole ... ITS IN! .. what a fabulous shoot and the crowd go wild ... lol

This script merely submits a form by email, the user must click submit therefore I see nothing malicious. Yes maybe it is a tad aggressive in the fact that it will persistently ask for the user to submit, but this is war... erm... business. :redance:

No probs getting a copy of the script.. there's something in Trev's one i'd rather have edited out though, so please PM me for a copy.

I've also got post-collection system scripts if anyone with a lot of traffic wants to take things further :ph34r:

An auto collection form is beyond aggressive. That's something I'd do.

Just looked at some old data gathered with this technique, and only 2 entries jump out as being non-valid. You're not going to get the result if people have invalid settings for their mail clients, so the vast majority are genuine. You probably get more crap from people entering data into a form by themselves really.

You also get the "Name" <blah@blah.com> part they send mails as, for a bonus ;)
