Hi there - MLB quiz comes to town - CHI CITY SPORTS l #1 Chicago Sports Fan Message Board

go6 game · 01-09-2012, 01:32 PM

Hi everyone

I am a Brit from London where we don't have any baseball! I write apps for Android as a kind of living and have released a couple of baseball quizes on the Android Market (Free and paid).

https://market.android.com/search?q=go6&c=apps

When you're not watching, talking, living or breathing baseball, check it out and see if you know as much as you think you do about the guys who play your sport.

Arrived here after an invite from Mike @salukiVSN on Twitter and look forward to learning more about your sport.

Who is Mike @salukiVSN?

No idea. He Twittered me and suggested I post on this forum.

Its a site twitter account. We invited you as a fan. Not to spam your app in your first post.

go6 game · 01-09-2012, 05:47 PM

Well if you're going to invite games accounts i.e. go6 game to come and post on your forum what do you expect? In any case once I clued up to what forums your site had I posted on the Games Forum - or is that spamming as well.
I am a very small outfit with no marketing budget so I don't consider what I did as spamming. All I've done is responded to your spam in the first place.
If you haver an issue with this pull my account and I'll make it clear on Twitter what your invitations really are, then hopefully there'll be no further misunderstandings when you spam games accounts.

Your first 2 posts on the site were clearly saying "these are my links, go here". Had you messaged me asking if it was cool, or if that was allowed, I would be all for it.

You made no intention to post as a fan. You were following one of the main sports teams in Chicago (Bulls, Bears, Blackhawks, White Sox, or Cubs)

We do not invite "games" accounts. We invite sports fans. It appears you are not one. If anything I've given you way more pub then you deserve by merely responding.

Good day kind sir.

I was also following many other US teams both NFL and MLB plus UK soccer teams. I am a staunch soccer fan.
I gave no indication that I supported anything Chicago.
I also have used your forum to inform sports fans of a quiz game they might be interested in. It is free with no ads. It is not exactly spamming.
If another fan posted something about my game on the correct forum you wouldn't bat an eyelid. So why shouldn't I?

go6 game · 01-10-2012, 01:02 PM

Plus
My posts were clearly marked in the title what they were. If people are not interested then they don't read it.

Finally.
it is not in my interests to upset people and it may be that if you pull the two threads that are on the wrong forums we could coexist quite happily.

Best wishes to you in any case.
