    It is indeed. But, sorry softhand because I'm going to call you out on this and your other posts.

    It seems to be very likely/irrefutable that you are a spammer. You've done it in a pleasing way. You're providing a service to people that is free to them and that they enjoy - posting videos. But, I just think people should know that you're getting paid for it. Again, I can't knock you for wanting to make money in such a pleasing way either. But, you haven't disclosed that you are making money from it and it seems like your only interest to post here is to make money.

    This is softhand's profile:

    Personal Ferraris:
    N/A
    Wanted Cars:
    None
    Other Cars Owned:

    This is softhand's profile on revver.com : http://one.revver.com/account/show/rampante06 (21519 is the affiliate ID in his links)

    And on flixya:
    http://flixya.com/user/431


    Obviously, "softhand" also goes by "rampante".

    About 99% of his 20 posts are all simply links to videos at revver and flixya. Revver and flixya both compensate affiliates for referring users and getting video views. They may compensate for referring new affiliates as well.

    Revver has a more respectable business model because they have a unique spin on the video business with a lot of their own technology.

    Flixya is simply a website with adsense and of the like with embedded videos from other providers like YouTube, Google, Revver, DailyMotion etc.

    The business model difference are irrelevant though. The point is it is irrefutable that about 99% of his/her posts are for people to click on links to earn him/her money.

    It was more appropriate, though still very easily argued to be spam, when his/her first post on the forum was advertising his business website: http://softhand.se/ . I don't think that's really a problem at all though, especially considering the thread he posted in was asking what people do for a living. I DO think he/she should be called out for the video affiliate stuff though.

    Ban worthy? I don't know. I don't really care either. I'm not requesting that anyone should ban softhand. But I do think people should know that softhand's purpose here seems to be simply to make money off of all of the community members. It seems that the fchat admin would prefer such public advertising to be paid for.

    Maybe it's a good idea though? Maybe we should all get compensated for sharing all the videos we share with eachother? Maybe we should all get accounts at Revver and Flixya and only link to them? It seems fair in many ways. We create money for those sites so why shouldn't we get a share of the profits? It's at no expense to the people clicking the links to view the videos, and it's a service we all enjoy.

    I mean, arguably, whenever we post videos we are indirectly advertising for places like YouTube and Google and the like. That's not considered spamming and nobody cares.

    But, even with that realization .... that's still pretty much THE ONLY REASON WHY SOFTHAND IS POSTING. Is THAT bad? Seems a little "tainted" to me. But, maybe it's just because the idea of sharing videos like this and being compensated for it is a new phenomenon/paradigm.
