unfair
discrimination!

Maybe you never expierienced discrimination, maybe you should read some books about the holocoust so you learn what discrimination is.

Every site has the right to accept countries they want!

For example:
I have advertisers that want to promote USA products only available in the USA
why should I advertise this in for example China?

Also countries outside usa/europe have a higher abuse rate on avarage.

dutch...maybe you should go look up the difference between

discrimination and persecution.

Ummm isn't that what targeted ads are for? WM's do it with searches, they can do it with other stuff

Not every webmaster has to make a option for doing that.
If someone wants to only accept certain countries thats a good right!

If I make a dutch get paid to read in dutch language,
Am I forced then to make a option for all other countries?
Sounds very stupid to me.

Also not every webmaster has the time to remove all cheaters.

To be fair, it seems most sites that pay/reward your online activities restrict access to X country/group of countries and they have every right to. PTR is one of the few areas which is somewhat all-encompassing.

Now when a site says "International members welcome!" and then footnotes it with "*except [insert the usual suspects here]" I personally start to feel a little uncomfortable at the implication.

I saw one site earlier for the first time where the list of ineligible countries on the homepage stretched to over 10 countries across 3 continents...bizarre...and their loss because even though I was eligible to join, I didn't - it's hard enough to get referrals as it is without the darn PO banning half the world from joining! lol

Their loss ultimately.

Well, that is the ideal...

But then I think that some people would complain that they don't get to earn as much as others.... discrimination still, eh?

And then there's the "% as active as your downline to earn from them"...
That would make some raise a hissy, wouldn't it? If lets say... 65% of all ads are US/Europe targeted?

O'course, that would only happen if there were outside advertisers, not just PTR ads in PTR ads in PTC ads in PTSurf ads in... and so on... and so on...

We'll see if that ever happens...

I learned in my 9 years of tending bar that there is a section of the population... the WORLD population in general... that will find something to complain about no matter what the situation is.

Human nature? Sour grapes? The way of the world? Well, for whatever reason, it's inevitable.

Maybe someone should start a site that specifically targets to Asian/non-Western countries. Wouldn't that solve a lot of this? If there were advertisers, I think it would. Maybe there already are sites out there like this. I hope so. Spanish-speaking (-writing) ones would probably do pretty well, too.

LOL seems to me they thrive on it these days. Cheat links, cheat banners, even phoney redemptions on the redemption page. What they lack for in time, they make up for in methods.

Site is in SPANISH!
discrimination?

Thats what I think!!

Why would a chinese join a spanish GPTR ?
There are a zillion paid emails out there and this mr needs to join a spanish one?

Why is that?

Discrimating.
Pff. I dont even see that calling dont even see why calling a black man black to be discriminating, but in my country it is.

Holy gsus. Im white and if you wanna tell me im white i dont give a ... i dont care.

If you call me european pls go ahead. call me danish go ahead. call me a norwegian why should i be bothered. As long as your intentions arent bad.


Come on Im getting tired of ppl screaming DISCRIMATION at every opportunity they get.
A black man is black.... well brown.
But hey Im pink not white.
Today you cannot even call an african an african. But you can call asians just that.
Pakistanians arent supposed to be called perkere ( a danish term) which if you which do mean pakistanian.
You cannot call handicaps handicaps, but physically challenged people. Why the bgeeses would i not call them what they are. I have no ill intents but people stare at me when I do say these words. Some even start ###### sorry for choice of word at me.

I have a friend. A very very good friend who is black.
We call him ######, and if you ask him what his name is, he instructs you to call him ######. He has absolutely no problem with this. But just two days ago I got into an argument with a girl that had her eye on him. I called him over to the table so he could join me and her, so I could introduce him. And yes I yelled ###### out loud.... She instantly flew out of her chair and started screaming at me. She nearly even slapped me around.

I call most of todays discrimination bigotry. (hope thats a word, as I seem to have heard in it in a similar context)
I call a table a table, a tv for a tv. Discrimination is in someones intent and actions not in their words, unless you try to hurt someone intentionally.



I know this was a bit off topic..... but I do not get ppl screaming, that this and that is wrong.

I agree

When you can laugh with it you can live with it.
I worked with many people from other countries and it can be fun to call them ***
if he calls me *** .
