greyhawk, This commission was introduced about a month ago and was shown on the "Withdraw" page as "compulsory donation". I never concealed it.
P.S. Now I explicitly named it "commission fee" and wrote about it on main page and FAQ. There is no more indefiniteness.

When I have introduced this commission fee, I updated "Withdraw" page but just forgot to update info on front page and FAQ.
I am really sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced. Now all docs updated.
So now it doesn't say anything anywhere on your site to tell users that you charge a 25% withdrawal fee? Nice, real classy... I am really sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced. Now all docs updated.
So you now have this in your TOS:
I'm pretty sure that's not legal.

Oh sorry, I just forgot to update the page when introduced fee. Thank you for the bug report, now fixed.
In the ToS:

P.S. May be you have heard "There are no free lunches", so don't be naive to think free services will be offered forever.
It was just a temporary promo campaign at the CoinURL launch when we charged no commissions, but now it expired.
thats great

Sounds like a case for a scammer tag.

What is the minimum amount that can be deposited or withdrawn? What is the commission rate?
There are no limits to deposits and withdrawals. All deposits and withdrawals are commission-free.

Should the fee's not somehow be implemented in to what he pays out?
kinda shitty thing to do IMO.

I cannot work in a loss. 25% is a reasonable commission I think. In comparison, Google AdSense charges 30-50% commissions.
Ok, I will change its name from "donation" to the "commission fee".

What's coinurl?
EDIT: Reading up on it. Seems they advertise with "no fees" then levy fees nonetheless. Kinda like Bitcoin.

You srsly didn't knew what CoinURL was?
Nope. Why would I? I'm not a fan of ads. In fact I tend to block them.

Interstitial ads let you monetize links, even if you don't own the target website.
Is that even legal?
on the withdrawel screen i tried changing the automatic 25% to 0% but it says it cannot be any lower than 25% so if i want to withdraw anything that ive made...they take a quarter of it....christ

That's BS Lurk. I don't know how it's set up, but could you just refuse to pay? Let's see what a judge thinks about their contract.
I just saw an operation fabulous ad on the coinurl faq.....whats going on here
This indeed deserves the WTF that the thread title dishes out.
Is it seriously mandatory? This makes Operation Fabulous a little bit more fabulous.
Answering the emails would make Operation Fabulous a little bit more fabulous for sure. this is on the front page of the website
It is absolutely free, you will receive 100% of the funds paid by advertisers!
.... except 25% we will take that from you for sure...sucker

You can wait 15 minutes and take 100% of you money, I think.
EDIT: Nope, I was wrong.
