Online Game Encouraging Spam

Posted by Zonk on from the dubious-techniques-to-say-the-least dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Outwar.com (an online game) has posted instructions on how to spam their unique link using underhanded and fraudulent techniques such as misleading URLs in forums and emails." Evidently by having people click on their link, players gain in-game power. These tips seem to directly contradict their stated spam policy. Shady.

    Pick just one patsy.

    Choose a player who sounds the most clueless from their forums. If they suddenly become the most powerful player what does any of the other players have to gain from continuing to play?

    Rinse and repeat until the top players are replaced with all patsies.
