I would like to know how everyone here feels about webmasters clicking on the links on a UCJ driven site to boost their own productivity?
Is this considered cheating?
I can understand scouting around other sites, and checking out their galleries (on TGP's) and etc... Every good TGP Webmasters has done this, to see what the competition is doing....
But I noticed that my stats are now looking a little strange on DemonWolfe... so I began investigating Outgoing IP#'s, and I can easily see that several webmasters are doing this.
I can 100% prove that one in particular is doing that, since he is on cable, and his ISP has a WhoIS, and the IP is assigned to the same country, address, and name of the owner of the website in question. (A fellow UCJ user as well)...
In this particular case, I am not talking about 20 clicks... 40 clicks... 80 clicks... or even 100 clicks... Nope, UCJ reports its 209 clicks...
Personaly, I feel if a webmaster comes to my site from their own, and clicks my links 209 times... I feel that's fucking cheating... Hell, I don't have 209 new galleries! (about 150-170 new each day)...
I am not saying that webmasters can't come and click the links at my TGP's... Hell, maybe you're horny and like my links better than your own... <G> heh heh heh
I AM saying that 209 clicks seems pretty obvious as to what the intent is....
I am curious to hear what others think on this subject...
PS- Since the person I am speaking of may read this... PLEASE STOP NOW!!!
