Not really mad, but is he getting free advertising for calgarybeacon? All he posts is links from his site, there is no way he doesnt work for that paper and it just trying to get exposure...

[Melinda]

He has an agreement with admin that he is allowed to post articles provided they are all car related.

In that case, wouldn't this be a clear violation of the terms?

i guess it wasnt violating the terms, she was taken away to the hospital in an "EMS" vehicle of course

[Super_Geo]

Yeah his shit is annoying as fuck.

[SScott]

I'm more annoyed about his commentary. It's very vague.

I normally just read the summary by modelexis as to not open his links

[Tomaz]

God forbid you NEED to click on the link. My god, what has the world come to.

[turbotrip]

I vote for a ban! His stuff is obviously promoting his own stuff so he can further himself in his "journalism" career or for personal gains for calgary beacon.

[Kloubek]

Well if he has permission then there is no reason for an actual ban.

I just back out of any thread he starts now. A bit of a waste of time, but nothing that is gonna kill me.

[BokCh0y]

Meh. If you don't like it then don't click on it. I read the occassional article but that's about it. I'm fine either way whether he gets booted or stays.

I appreciate members that contribute to the discussion in some way or another. Even if it is a completely idiotic sentiment that gets that person set aflame like a witch in Denmark in the 1500s, they're at least making some sort of attempt.

Posting "Hey guys," then "Link to article" then buggering off until the next thread doesn't really qualify to me as 'contributing'.

Same as trev00000006. If the intention is to share the news/vid why not just embed it. Clearly the purpose is to generate "click-revenue" for their website versus genuine contribution to this forum. Mods obviously know this ploy, so there must be reason why its allowed. Maybe beyond should ask for a cut.

[dirtsniffer]

hey trev006 atleast contributes useful videos. markhams articles are generally like 5 sentences with no pictures. I have tried to avoid his threads for quite some time

trev is a hit n' miss. Some of his vids are awesome, but quite a few are the shaky, night-time, camcorder "races". If its a clear vid, I usually embed it.

[dirtsniffer]

^^ haha true, and those ones from europe that are like 10 minutes long with 30seconds of racing

And they're only youtube videos too. Annoying.

You ever read some of the news articles on The Beacon?..

It looks like I'm in grade 8 and I'm trying to reword my sentences so the teacher won't find out I'm plagiarizing from an online website or something..
