Click on his link and it takes you to a site where he is building some sort of city where it gets better for him if you click on his link. Is this wrong? I ask because I was apparently mistaken the last time I posted a moderation thread.

Damn. Ninja'ed.

But yeah, I found this spammery/misleading entirely inappropriate.

And he posts it again, this time as a misplaced appeal, complete with another misleading link - this time he claims the link to his referral game is a link to the previously locked thread.

This guy's wanting the big DEAT, isn't he?

Let's see...

1) He posted a misleading spam link to a referral game.
2) When it was pointed out that he had done so, he edited his OP to double it.
3) With the first thread locked, he reposts the link, again in a misleading manner.

Yep.

He probably thought he was being clever. Why didn't he just use his signature to show the link to his MiniCity?

You guys really think debating what punishment will/should be dished out is a clever thing to do in a moderation thread?

Two such threads have been deleted. Two reporting threads have been merged. Two mods have ruled on this obvious referral spam, and two telegrams have been sent to the offending nation.

Too many people got way too wrapped up in this very minor affair, and at least two of you appear to have too much time on your hands. Time to lock this thread.

Toodles.
