Why is Lockerz allowed in signatures, but Bux.to isn't?

I just find it sorta hypocritical that a pyramid scheme #1 (bux.to), isn't allowed in signatures; but another pyramid scheme #2 (lockerz), is allowed. Both have you refer people. For both sites, people put something in their sig saying they can give an invite/refer. What's the difference? In my opinion, BOTH should be DISALLOWED.


This isn't a thread to go "OMFG IT ISN'T A SCAM"; think what you want, but it IS a pyramid scheme for sure. All "make monnies/prizes online!" are pyramid schemes. They might eventually pay you, but it's still a pyramid scheme.

It is, says YoHoJo (and also because it has remained in at least 4 people's signatures, despite me reporting them for it 5 days ago).

They should both be allowed or disallowed but it would prefer if all of these thing wouldn't be allowed because then everyone is having signatures like that and to many useless threads are created... I think there are like 5 lockerz threads now :eek:

Yea i was thinking the same too, but you don't see me making a song and dance about it

The whole point is...
Why do you care?
Why do you care if we are trying to get our pixel points?
If it was something you believed in, you would believe in having it in your signature if needed.
Lockerz is a more fun and friendly site than bux.to
I think of Lockerz as a game more than a task.

I care because it is a worthless image that is raping my bandwidth, including the fact you are luring unsmart kids into your pyramids of doom!

There is a difference in "believing in something" and putting it into your signature, rather than advertising a website.

That is the equivalent of saying "let people waste their lives on bux.to!". Bux.to isn't allowed in signatures, the same should hold true for this site.

Yes. If you are implying I could adblock your image, no I can not, as Villavu.com is on my Adblock whitelist.

Pyramided means that you wont get "paid". You get payed with lockerz...

Staff already has a thread about it, it will be sorted out soon.

No, a lot of pyramid schemes pay out. Bux.to pays out, even though they are a pyramid scheme too.

Getting paid != not a pyramid scheme.

An illicit money-making investment scheme whereby early investors are paid primarily or wholly by later investors. Eventually all such schemes fail to the detriment of recent (later) investors

Of course, I'm not saying that lockerz is a pyramid scheme, as I haven't looked into it at all.

Why should I need to waste my time with installing yet another addon, when the problem could be fixed instead?

Because, only you are complaining.
We want them, you don't
Fix it yourself by not seeing it yourself.

I don't think it should be allowed. I agree all on all of Harry's points. You all are trying to justify having it in your sig by saying that it really does pay. That is beside the point. We didn't allow bux.to because it was referring people. Lockerz is also referring people, therefore shouldn't be allowed.

What makes you guys think it would be allowed?
It isn't. It's the same kind of stuff as bux.to, etc.

EDIT: Opened.
