Like our facebook page, give us all your info, indirectly spam your facebook friends, and then indirectly spam message boards. Cheesy marketing tactic.

Giving away ONLY the size Large…..Why wouldn’t you guys let the winner pick the size they need?

I’m with Tom – it’s a spam contest – I won’t be participating but good luck with it.

No thanks!

Your not a hater if you disagree and simply have an aversion to spam and cheese. Just cuz you give something away doesn’t mean the manner in which you do it is always great. My 8 yr old knows that.

I had a longer post in response to mark that I posted last night that has somehow gone missing… This is the 3rd time this has happened to me on this site.

My point was mostly what scissorhands said:

1. The give away is misleading until you actually get to the fine details to find out it is only a large size frame. Why not give the user a choice if you want to appeal to the most people. That makes the spam tactics even cheesier. They are going to end up with a lot of data for tall people, or they are going to get a lot of people who hope to win, blow the frame out on eBay and eliminate the possibility of them actually returning as customers to buy parts for their new build. The data they will get from this is marketing gold; it is worth far more to them than the cost of a frame.

2. Perhaps I am picky with the concept of a “free” giveaway. You only argument is that I am not giving something away? Your logic is flawed. There are more creative (and better) ways to do this that don’t involve spamming public boards. It’s even cheesier that they started their own thread at MTBR before any contestants had a chance to. Regardless, do something cool like cycling trivia or BR’s monday mystery part, and everyone who answers correctly gets an additional entry. You will get a hell of a lot more people frequenting your website/blog/twitter feed to answer the latest trivia and hope stumble across other promotions that may interest them.

Bike Rumor, Tyler…please stop censoring comments! Promote open opinions. I didn’t break any rules.

Tom,

using different e-mail addresses from the same IP address may be what dumped you into the spam folder. I haven’t marked any of the Hammerhead comments as spam.

Marc,

Well that’s odd…I’ve used the same email but I’ll take your word for it. The first was posted while I was at work. The second was from home. They were visible on the site for a while but then vanished? Posts on other stories managed to stay up (my last post which is still up, was posted from the same IP within an hour of the one that got flagged).

I hope it is a glitch, but I’ve never encountered a spam prevent system (particularly in WordPress) that didn’t let you manually flag comments that were erroneously filtered into the spam box.

Tom, I just got on this morning and there was a comment pending from a Tom@negative….. If that’s yours, it was definitely under a different email address. As you can see, it’s up now. Not sure what’s going on but we aren’t censoring comments.

Thanks for looking into it. You can delete one of them now since they both say he same thing. It is so weird that the post is available for a while, and then disappears later? It is confusing because it looks like its posted, I can refresh the page and read what I wrote, and then later its gone when I come back to the site. Anyways, appreciate looking into it.

Thanks for reading Tom! I just went through 23 pages of the spam folder (out of 600 something) and there were even comments from Bikerumor contributors that had been marked as spam. Computers….
