Another excellent issue of HEN. It’s great to see owners on the attack against harmful sites in rotation. The last thing people need is to connect TEs with such shady programs.

Also, I loved the splash page of the week (for obvious reasons) and wanted to thank you Jon for the mention and also thank Eva for the comment.

Nancy – I understand that you may be new, but trust me when I say, auto surfing has done nothing but cause harm and millions of dollars of damage to this industry. It’s got nothing to do with ‘being nice’, they weren’t very nice when they robbed members for millions of dollars. Use auto surfs at your own peril.

I think I know of the new traffic exchange you’re speaking of… maybe. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

*New commercial traffic exchange script — woot!*

Yes, out to randomizers and paid autosurfs. Even “honest guys” failed.

Nexus bans known scams. We will gladly discuss with anyone who asks why we chose to ban them. That is our contribution to “due diligence.”

Yes, many people have lost lots of money in the various money games since the beginning of time. I would speculate that more money has been lost by “little people” in MLM’s and “network marketing” than in the various money games, HYIP’s, etc. I once heard the VP of an MLM tell a disgruntled distributor stuck with a garage full of nutritional stuff that they could eat the product because there were no refunds. I agree, they chose to fill their garage by meeting quotas imposed by the marketing plan, their choice. Not the company’s fault they didn’t figure out how to promote.

Widely publicized on TE’s is that 97% of wannabe entrants to IM will fail. So, my question becomes: at what point do TE owners (owners of any advertising media) exercise their police powers, and at what point do they let people make-up their own minds about where they spend their time (clicking) and money?

Tough question and I don’t have the answer. I didn’t realize how little freedom I had as an American until I moved out in 1997. How does that apply to IM? Try starting an MLM in the USA, you are a target to be blackmailed by the AG of every State. Freedom is the right to make personal choices, good or bad.

If 95% to 97% will fail at IM should wasting time clicking be policed against, more so wasting $ on buying upgrades and credits? None of us would agree to that!

If over 90% will fail should the guru products be banned from TE’s?

How about the numerous “buy my e-book and make millions by the end of the week” ads?

Where does personal freedom of choice, and assuming personal responsibility for personal choice begin and end, and how does that apply to the police powers of media owners?

Trust me, I am not defending any money games or HYIP’s which I also have a personal aversion to. My question is about the role of the media owner, my role as policeman. Where does freedom and personal responsibility begin and end?
