My name is Richard Fry. I WILL NOT LET YOU RUN A BACKGROUND CHECK! * 2
    #19286245 - 12/16/13 10:09 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Hey folks!
My name is Richard Fry. I don't break the law.
Review my posts, it's cool.

I was aiming to start selling spores so I contacted the Shroomery about advertising.

Here's their response:
Ticket ID: #9161
Subject: Re: Advertising Prices
Assigned operator: Wiccan_Seeker
Department: Advertising Inquiries
Details:
Thank you for your interest in advertising with us! We offer several options for publicizing your site:

First, you may add a FREE LINK to our links section at http://www.shroomery.org/6296/Vendors. To do so you must be registered on our BB, then read http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6130879 for instructions. Please note that our links section is not indexed by search engines so this will not help your page rank. However, it will provide an opportunity to share your site with interested members.

Next are CLASSIFIED ADS, which can be purchased and activated instantly online. These text ads are displayed across the entire site and include a prominent link which will be followed by search engines. This can be a good way to stretch your advertising budget, or test the waters before committing to a full sponsorship. Please see http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6377113 for more information about classifieds.

Finally, BANNER ADS will provide you with the most exposure and the most clicks. As of late 2013, the Shroomery receives about 1.25 million unique visitors and registers approximately two thousand new member accounts every month. With a loyal user-base of over 115,000 registered members, a continuous stream of new traffic, and high rankings for relevant Google keywords, we offer a profitable venue for you to market your products and increase your reach on the internet.

Our banner system is triple-tiered and billed at a flat monthly rate. Your realized monthly dues will be based upon the scope of your inventory in conjunction with how it relates to the target market at the Shroomery. For any vendor offering spores, the fee is $250 (US) per month. If you operate a smart shop or sell entheogens or cultivation supplies, the monthly fee is $200. There is also a $150 tier for sponsors who sell products unrelated to the site or at very low volumes (books, clothing, etcetera). There is no minimum contract, but if you prepay five months you get the sixth month free. Please also note that we now offer expanded advertising for our newest community web site, the Growery.org - inquire for details.

The banner package includes a 468 x 60 pixel banner ad which will be placed in rotation on the top and bottom of all Shroomery pages. Your business will also appear on our sponsor list at http://www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php, and you can gain additional exposure by placing a link in your signature and using our community's Sponsor Forum for announcements, promotions, contests and giveaways. You will also have access to our private Vendors Corner forum where vendors may discuss matters amongst themselves and site's administrators. Banners get roughly 1,000,000 impressions and anywhere from 1,000 - 3,000 click-throughs per month, depending on how well your product inventory correlates to the subject matter of our site, how eye catching your banner is, and how actively you promote your products within our community.

Our members count on us to accept only the most reputable advertising. All applications are rigorously reviewed, and we continuously monitor the performance of our sponsors. If at any time we receive information which indicates unethical business practices, illegal merchandise, poor product quality, or poor customer service, we will halt your advertising and issue a prorated refund.

Our application process requires a two month review period.
To begin your application, please provide the following:

- Legal Name
- Legal Address
- Birthdate/SSN (for credit and criminal fraud check)
- $50 non-refundable deposit (will apply towards first month's dues)
- Business Name
- Business Website Address
- Business Mailing Address
- 468 x 60 pixel Banner AD (max. 100K file size, flash animation OK)
- Public Contact Email Address (for shroomery.org/sponsors.php)
- Private Contact Email (for monthly AD invoices, if different)
- Shroomery.org Forum Username (to be designated as Vendor)

You may email me directly at mike@shroomery.org, or send the above requested information through our encrypted Secure Private Message function, addressed to: geokills

Secure PM Information can be found here:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4276278

Alternately, you may mail to:
Mind Media, Inc.
849 Almar Ave C187
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Questions? Just ask. Looking forward to having you on board!



OKAY so in my odd 13 years as an internet marketer, I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYONE REQUEST A BACKGROUND CHECK!!!! Not even Google!

What the fuck is this. It's bullshit is what it is!

I'm sorry guys but seriously, I'm not out to fuck anyone over but there is no fucking way I'm going to give some fucking hippies my social security number to run a background check on me to run some mother fucking banner ads!

2 Month wait time!?!?!?

How do you call this "doing business"??

WOULD ANYONE HERE WANT THE SHROOMERY DOING A BACKGROUND CHECK ON THEM?!?!?

It wouldn't prove shit!!!!
Most scammers do not have a criminal record!!!!!
It does not help anything here to run a BC!!!

This is a bullshit violation of my privacy.

Fuck this site.
Only feds would do this.

I have worked with Google, Amazon, Neverblue, MaxBounty, MGCash, Cleanfiles, FileICE and MORE RESPECTABLE advertising networks and have NEVER needed a background check!!! Only my tax forms!!!

This is bullshit and not a good way to do business. Period.
I'll be reporting this place to the BBB as well as every [anti]security group I'm affiliated with. This is horrible business.

NO YOU CANNOT RUN A Criminal/Credit Check!!!!!!! WTF?!?!?

We don't want our users getting cheated by shady vendors.
So yeah, we have to check this stuff out.

Don't like it? Log off.

Nobody does a credit check. To check on a site's reputation is one thing. To run a criminal/credit check is another. It smells of "scam" all over. That shit is not kosher.

Doesn't need to be out in the open.

I'm just saying I've never worked with an ad network that did this shit. This reminds me of the fellow on craigslist selling apartments pushing MB CC to gain $$$ off his prospective buyers ..

Hes not trying to sell you anything, though.

And I'm pretty sure these days, anyone will want to run a background check on you. I was looking through an application for a job the other day and guess what, there was a waiver to hand over my SSN so they could check my credit and to see "what kind of person you are"

Try to relax, lol. No one is forcing you to do anything.

Dude I work with multiple ad companies. I'm an internet marketer. Noone asks for a credit/background check. This is the shroomery. Do you really expect that everyone will be squeaky clean and want their dirt aired?

Who handles the checks!!!!???

It's only a violation of your privacy if they go behind your back and run the check aginst your will. If you choose to let them run it, it's not a violation of your privacy, and you can always just walk away and remain..... private.


--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Why can't they just say who runs them?
It's not like I'm asking for an admin password...

It's a simple question!

Your IQ is clearly quite high.
I love the relevance to my initial post!!!
I was clearly concerned about the violation of my privacy from folks going behind my back! Thanks for noticing!!

I wasn't like trying to figure out what a DRUG board would be running CRIMINAL CHECKS or anything.

I'm glad you pay attention! Thanks!!!!

Ya I'm sorry if I come off that way.
I started this thread as a dick. I shouldn't have. Truly should not have ...

I do not need shroomery banner ads to make it but I see a lot of good people on here so I figured I'd check into it.

They Background/Credit check just kills me. Viva, even you wouldn't want this, you gotta know this man. If it weren't for the fee, I'd just go along with it. I would. I've nothing to hide. I'm just not up for pithing $50 on a BC/CC when they only cost TEN FUCKING DOLLARS!!!!

THE PRICE!!!

The shroomery is running a scam. Million to one, they're running through an affiliate network like MaxBounty.

There is no reason for the $50 price tag. ANY OF US could request a CC/BC ON ANY OF US for $10 MAX!!!

It's bad enough they're invading privacy (cough, feds) but the price leads me to believe it is NOT feds.

They are making money from the credit checks.
This is not fucking cool, whatsoever.
Sorry, it's eating at me ...

EDIT: Read the email ...
They have knowledge of SERPS.
Why would a drug forum know this?
THEY ARE MARKETERS!!!!

Nobody knows shit about SERP unless they're marketing ...
They shroomery is playing everyone.

No feds. Nothing like that. They're just out to make money off of you guys ..
