Incidentally,

I just did a google search for flightprosim, and our wiki page comes up second. 
:-)

Nice job!

Re: [Flightgear-devel] FSP facebook ads

2010-11-24 Thread Mally
?I doubt this is pay-per-click, so just clicking on the ads could be 
ineffective or couter-effective. However the strategy of  reporting the ads 
is potentially a better one, particularly if enough people get involved

I've dispatched two ads this morning via the X button:

No 1 Flight Simulator

x False advertising: The acknowledged #1 flight simulator by any measure is 
Microsoft Flight Simulator

(No offence intended against FlightGear, I'm sure there are measures against 
which it is #1 but I wanted to present a clear argument, and besides, it was 
a little impulsive I will admit).

New Flight Simulator

x False advertising: This is not a new flight simulator, but the 
open-source flight simulator FlightGear which has been existence for many 
many years.

This will obviously have no effect if I'm the only one doing this, but it 
worries me that as Chris says, the frequency of  these ads (in all their 
variations) is increasing. It can only mean that an increasing number of 
people are actually following the ads up with orders.

I'll route FSP's domains to 127.0.0.0 in my hosts file, then start 
clicking...

My hope is that facebook will actually pay heed to my complaints, and look 
into
the legality of the FSP adverts. That might save us from having to employ
someone to do the same.
