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.

    Okay basically the example is put a url in an anchor tag but have it say something else? Big freaking deal! If you are going to click on a link and not look at the bottom left hand corner of your browser to where it is pointing then you deserve what you get.
