Hi everyone,

A member joins "add a comment" campaigns and writes quotes, believing it's ok to do so, I guess.

This is what I call a pass through comment. It's considered an abuse at APSense, cause in most cases, it is unrelated to the content of the RevPage or article.

You lose 50 credits every time you accept that kind of comment. Please decline it.

The member used that technique on two of my campaigns today. The first time, it was suspicious. The 2nd time, it was confirmed. It was not the same quote, but still, it is easy to keep a file opened on our computer and copy and paste from it.

It's wrong. We spend money when we create campaigns, and we spend time writing whatever we did and promoting it.

I sent a PM to the person. I'll see the reaction. If it's not positive, I'll report the member to the moderators. Also, don't hesitate to report for abuse using the link with that name.

The quotes look like:

"Zig Ziglar...

To sell, you first have to build a relationship"

I know it's not an authentic quote from Ziglar, it was just to give you an idea of what the member's comments look like.
