    Default BidderRobot Program against many site's TOS- Uses BigDeal in Ad

    Take a look at this Google ad we found today for a client bidder robot (meaning a user can use an automated means of bidding, instead of single clicking) this is against the terms of use of many penny auction sites. This new program is even using BigDeal.com in their Google Advertising:


    Tools like these are is a violation of many site's TOS, don't be fooled!

    I believe that the more penny auction bidders that come together and post their honest experiences, exposing the shady-scam penny auction sites, the less and less shady-scam sites will stop being the majority in the penny auction industry. Stand with me.

    I don't mind using the site bid buddy as long as it's close to 2 seconds of ending. Those sites with 30 second auto bids are unfair to the player. Knowing there are people lurking around waiting for you to run out of bids.

    When I first started browsing the PAW forum, I saw a bidder who had posted that he/she had created his own "autobidder" which would click at intervals so that he/she wouldn't have to watch the site. I really felt that was unfair for those of use clicking to win. I also felt that this was another way of "intimidating" other bidders since we now knew that they weren't necessarily at the keyboard. I am glad that many of the sites have rules against it and hope that they have a way to enforce it.

    Hey Ksteven, I didn't see this, if any of you find it can you post it or email me with this users name/post?

    Thanks
