I want you to know that it was not me posting tips on how to ‘cheat with your school essay’. :-) My life as usual revolves around computers, programming, and online deals.

So far the incidents have been fairly rare and easily identifiable. Say, what would you think if a member with an account created within the past hour submitted a low value coupon or product linking to an obscure overseas based online store?
