A few people have tried to game the system and have been banned.

Well, I for one am pretty sure I have not "tried to game" anything. I do not have such habit (especially to gain just a few pennies). It's not even a money making matter for me, at least not yet as I've just thrown one of my lower traffic websites at BA to evaluate it as a monetization vehicle, to get some indication if it is time to shift some of my activities to bitcoin economy

etc. (and so far it is much worse than AdSense for example, though it is expected as your system is new, has few competing advertisers, lacks targeting etc.)

Besides, the ads still show up on my website (and the advertisers obviously get charged for them), pageviews, clicks and revenue continue to flow on the stats page etc. I.e. no indication that I have been "banned" whatsoever.

I'm hesitant to jump to conclusions, call anyone a scammer etc.
And if you consider me a scammer can I at least have a courtesy of being told so? Thank you.

Any btc one time allocated for distribution to those bitcoin addresses you are list as your own were dispersed to a charity.

Bad call. Those should have been returned to the advertisers.

Would it stand up in court?

I give almost 100% probability that Andrew Bitcoiner would lost in court if sued. But nobody will do this, because legal costs are much higher than stolen balance! One hope left that Andrew Bitcoiner thinks about his karma, but I doubt about this...

Can anyone figure out which term they broke?

Are all users of the site breaking the same term?

Would it stand up in court?

As it stands i would say stealing someones earned balance is indeed a scam.

CoinAd and giantdragon are both accused by their own users for scamming on competing advertising services.

Provide the references please!

Weren't you involved in a similar situation the other day where you were on the other side of the table?

OK, so it's a guessing game then. My guess is that you don't like how CoinAd has the text "Take this time to visit our sponsors ads." when the timer is ticking down. Daily Bitcoins has something similar, "Visit advertisers’ websites and increase your chances to get bigger prizes!". If I were an advertiser, I wouldn't like that either. However, the normal thing to do in such a situation is to contact the advertiser and notify him of the breach and what you think he should do, not just ban him and take his accumulated earnings.

Keep it real

@CoinAd
Were you ever told what you did to "violate the TOS"? I'm guessing not after reading your post.

@Andrew Bitcoiner
If I'm correct and you didn't tell the people who "violated the TOS" what they had done wrong, then I'd say that's pretty close to being a scam.

No, we do not disclose TOS related issues in public.

What, what? May be court in Riga will be better place to discuss your TOS issues!?

You violated our Terms Of Service and were banned. A few people have tried to game the system and have been banned.

Please provide proof that I have cheated with banners on Daily Bitcoins!

CoinAd, Giantdragon, bbit: Thank you for posting this. I've been considering putting up ads from BitcoinAdvertisers. I guess I will put that plan on hold for now.

Andrew: Would you care to elaborate on how they violated your TOS?

The same problem, still waiting about 1 BTC for Daily Bitcoins.

Topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/announcing-bitcoinadvertiserscom-the-money-making-monster-78407
Website link: http://www.bitcoinadvertisers.com/

Hello all,

I created this topic to talk about Bitcoinadvertisers.
And why? Because I've been fooled.

Lack of payments
I got 3 addresses on their website (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.893980).
All 3 had pending payments.

I have sent PM to Andrew, sent support ticket on their website and replyed on their topic.

What did they say? Nothing.
What did they made? Clean my balance.

I got 0 bitcoin on those addresses and they did not say nothing about it.

And I'm not the only one. I hope more people like me reply here.

Bad "math"?
Now about the old "Fees earned" on their website.
Like stated here, they're lying about their earnings. Some time after that they removed that information from the website.

What's really making me mad is that they say nothing about this problems. They just keep the normal chat...

If you want to know, I had about 1 BTC on their website when they clean my balance. But it's not the amount that mathers here.

Funny, I was just going to post the same thing. I've never been paid on anything what is this " Turn your website into a money making monster" B.S ? He needs to eliminate that as false advertising.
