Post subject:  Sentric Digital are spammers - AVOID

A note from the admins: Hello, arrivers from Google. The below is a post advertisting something irrelevant to this forum that was posted by Sentric Digital, a new-media marketing firm whose principle weapon in promoting your goods is spam like this. I would urge you to think twice about hiring them, because it's risky to associate your company with such underhanded business tactics.

If you read on through this thread, you will see several further posts from the Sentric Digital employee who posted this message, where he attempts to defend his actions (without ever actually apologising, you might note, apart from an insincere and passive-aggressive "I'm sorry to have put you out"). The facts of the matter are, he found a link to our site somewhere else, and had signed up and posted his content within less than three minutes. He made no efforts to scan our content to see if his advertising was relevant (it is not). This is spam, pure and simple.

Thank you for your time. The original content of this message follows.

Quote:
Has anyone on here been to Camp Bestival before? It’s an award winning family-friendly festival in Dorset that offers something for everyone and they’re currently running a competition to win tickets for all the family (2 x adults and up to 3 x children weekend camping passes).

The weekend promises proper 50s-style holiday camp thrills a plenty for kids of all ages. Bestival Bluecoats will mobilize the merriment (led by madcap comperes The Cuban Brothers), and festival goers will also be treated to world-class spoken word, arts, literary and comedy line-ups, as well as great DJs & the best music acts such as Madness, Friendly Fires, The Human League, George Clinton & Funkadelic, Calvin Harris, Chipmunk, Bill Drummond/The17, Annie Mac, Bily Bragg and Lee Scratch Perry.

There’s also gourmet food stalls like The River Cottage Cafe & farmers markets. Plus 100 free things for kids to do including seeing The Gruffalo live on stage.

How does Beex feel about revealing the email addresses of spammer signups -- particularly social media dickwads who think it's an ace idea to astroturf their shit on our doorsteps, eh, Liam Flanders, of Sentric Digital?

I think it could lead to a bit of entertainment.
Vote:Go Ferret!

EDIT: Now that I've investigated Sentric Digital's website, we should send him a wee present to thank him for his contribution ;)

Alternatively, we could all go to Camp Bestival and when being thrown out for swearing, drinking and scaring children (and not having any of our own), tell them Liam Flanders, of Sentric Digital said it was just our sort of gig.

Pre-approval loses you signups from people who can't be arsed to wait for approval. Also - you were a mod. Did you not notice that there weren't any signup approvals?

I'm most concerned that someone thinks that we are the target market for a family-friendly 50s-style camp in Devon.

It's not a camp without tents. Having camp people attending doesn't count. ;)

Just email address? The home page of Sentric Digital offers his email address, office location, phone number, mobile number, and blog address :DD

Craster - then the missing step in pre-approval was asking "are you a spammer?"

I thought you guys pre-approved for a while after one of the Great Unpleasantnesses?

And now thanks to this spammer they'll never go again. WELL DONE A+++

Post subject:  Re: Spamming cunt be spamming

In fairness to the Bestival folk, that spamcunt was linking to some touristy website or something similar (didn't click, just read the URL) so whoever's paid him was probably nothing to do wi' the festival.

EDIT: Turns out I'm talking shite. I'd parsed campaign as camping in the URL, by the looks of it the Bestival lot have hired those Sentric Digital spamcunts :(

I'm talking to them on Twitter. They're claiming it was "relevant" content (a phrase often bollocks-ed around in web marketing circles) and that I should email them to discuss the "issue" further. I'm not emailing them.

Why would you email them when it's more entertaining to lambast them in public? Idiots.

Wow, if I realised posting a link to a competition to win tickets to a festival would ruffle so many feathers I would have thought twice. I take the point of nobody on here being interested in Camp Bestival - fair enough - but in an attempt to justify posting, I always search for threads that relate to keywords and from Google discussions I found a post on here where someone was saying they were off to the green man festival which is a similar vibe to Camp Bestival. I don't make a habit of pushing irrelevant stuff, it's not worth it, as your reactions show.

Also, the competition has the backing of camp bestival and it's all above board.

Sorry to have put you all out. I'll make a note not to bother here again.

So how did you know it was relevent to our content? Based on one mention in one thread, you just assumed? And yet you think you were making a decent effort to not "push irrelevant stuff"?

I'm going to contact your clients.

I can't argue with that point, and in hindsight I should of paid more attention to what was going on here but I'd like to point out that the worst the would of happened to anyone by following the link and heading to the Bestival Site would be they may of wound up winning a trip to camp bestival
