Back when I was actively fighting scumware, boycotting casinos who used “gator” to cover up our websites and steal our visitors and being quite the activist, I learned the hard way that trying to influence who promotes whom is impossible, no matter how pressing the issue.
You can’t tell people what to do.
What you can do, however, is educate.
Back in the day when you could run sites entirely on PPC generated one time vsitors, you didn’t need a reputation or happy players or content and the pool of new potential players was huge.
Today you need to have some decent SEO, and return visitors are extremely valuable. Reputation matters. Content matters.
And the pool of potental new players is slowly shrinking. You are seeing programs being much more concerned with retention.
So there are a lot of real life tangible issues that are helping to clean this industry up.
Maybe some people reading this thread will start visiting player boards and getting on top of things.
But if you really want to influence the situation, you have to bring the information to the people. Bring it here and educate and you will influence many.
