What Is Lockerz?FunJelly8 Posted:
FunJelly8,
I am going to make one more reply to you and then I am done with you whether or not this reply has any impact.
I’m asking you to keep in mind that your opinion is just that – your opinion.
A “scam”, a word you rather like, is where you pay for something in some manner (time, money, information) and do not receive promised compensation for it, or pay for something on the faith that you will receive compensation and then do not receive any (for an example of the second, if you buy a book that promises to teach you how to make money and then fails to do so, that is a scam.)
In this case, it is very clear in advance what you are receiving. You are giving some personal information (yes, some, not nearly the amount that you have indicated) in order to receive points on the site and the opportunity to earn more points. These points can then be exchanged for items.
I have never, in my time on Lockerz, seen a single “market research survey” as you seem to think is there. Are you sure you’re thinking of the same site?
In any case, I have stated my (researched and informed) opinion and you have stated yours (which, pardon me, I have yet to see any proof of from you or any other source, or in fact any thought at all beyond mindless ad hominem) and there is no need for further discussion on the subject.
I trust that most people on this forum are intelligent enough to do their own research and make their own decisions, and really don’t need you to “protect” them from something that they are at no risk from in the first place. Log in to see images!
Again,
Regards. (view post) |

What Is Lockerz?FunJelly8 Posted:
I’m very sorry you feel that way. It’s not a scam and there is plenty of proof that it’s not a scam if you care to do your research, but you’re more than free to make up your own mind about whether you’d like to be a part of it or not. That is why I wrote up what I feel to be an informative post.
Why you feel that a post of honest information that leaves the choice entirely up to the reader deserves a ban is beyond me. My post is certainly not against the site rules.
However, if that is the way you’d like this to be, may I remind you of the following that is in the site rules:
The Civil Discussion forums are for discussing Forumwarz and the real world in a useful and entertaining fashion. Don’t troll them up with personal insults, nonconstructive criticism/suggestions/answers, off-topic posts, mini-modding, and the like.
Again, my sincere apologies that you find my post to be so objectionable.
Regards.
::EDIT::
To address the valid concern that was brought up:
You answer one daily question a day, which is usually a one-word or one-phrase answer (Yesterday’s was “Yankees or Mets?”, today’s was “What’s the best street food?” ) and you get two PTZ, to be spent however you like. To add some comparison, new video games cost 100 PTZ currently (PS3, Wii, X360, DS and PSP), contests cost 10 PTZ each (one was for 250 PTZ, one was for a VIP concert, one was for the newest model iPod,) and big-ticket items like a 120GB PS3 slim cost 625 PTZ.

What Is Lockerz?Hey all, I’m sure you’ve all noticed my ad for Lockerz by this point.
What I didn’t realize before I made it is that many people still haven’t heard of Lockerz – and that most of those who have are very misinformed… thanks to spammy, full-of-crap ads all over the internet. Heh.
So, in an effort to enlighten, here are the real facts about Lockerz – what it is, and why you want to join. Most of this is blatantly ripped from Lockerz own FAQs, with some of my own commentary for good measure.
1. What is Lockerz? Lockerz is an invitation-only worldwide community where members can find entertainment, shopping and a full social network all on one website. Members are rewarded for almost everything they do on the site—whether it’s buying a cool new brand, watching a video, playing a game, answering a daily question or even just logging in. At launch, Lockerz will have more than 15 ways for members to earn PTZ.
All right, it goes on for a lot more useless crap, but you get the idea – at least, the idea of what they’re telling you. Here’s the rest of it.
The real deal is that Lockerz is being operated by Kathy Savitt. She’s the former VP of Amazon and former CEO of American Eagle Outfitters, and she did so well at both that she’s decided to start her own company. She still has some pretty good contacts at Amazon though, since they keep giving away Amazon gift certificates on the cheap. It’s worth noting that she and Lockerz are also directly sponsored by Liberty Media, which is probably where a lot of their profit will come from (Liberty is HUGE and will probably do a lot of advertising there.)
So, why’s it matter to you? Because PTZ are easy to earn. All you have to do is show up on the site every day for two minutes. And if you can manage ForumWarz, you can manage to show up on Lockerz.
In addition, since Lockerz is still in beta, all of the prizes are incredibly cheap right now. You could grab a new PS3 game in about a month with two minutes of your time every day (less if you have a fast connection. =P) Also because it’s in beta, it’s invite-only membership right now, so you need to get someone to invite you… which is where I come in, of course.
So, that’s the scoop. Hopefully someone finds themselves more informed. Log in to see images!
...
Oh yeah, have to post the obligatory invite link. Follow it for a fast, free, safe and secure Lockerz invite, if you’d like one.

Halloween Challenge 2009Hoo boy, what a wall at Academia Gonad Hefted Growth.
Axle’s message wasn’t a problem, the translated code wasn’t a problem… what comes out of THAT is a problem.
So either I’m doing the first two steps wrong, which I don’t think I am…. or someone is evil! =P (view post) |

Charisma Bugged?I just majorly upped my Troll’s charisma, luck remains the same… (Lennonparty in the Ppwn Shop, yay!) However, since I did…. I’ve been getting WAY less junk every day.
Does charisma have a negative effect on trolls, is this a bug, or am I just missing something? (view post) |

A free BP for everyone!Posted this in an edit to the main post, posting it here too:
Hi everyone.
Due to a personal emergency, I’ll be shutting this offer down at the end of Friday, December 5. I’m going to have to be away for a while and I won’t be able to give this my full attention.
It’ll still be in full effect until then, and anyone who Tubmails me before 12AM on Saturday is guaranteed to get their BP.
Thanks kindly for your understanding.
p.s. nevkick, the link seems fine, if you’d like to try it again.
p.p.s. Thanks for your support everyone! (view post) |

A free BP for everyone!Whoo, a lot to respond to.
First and foremost: Simply, I can’t send yours until you reply to my email, as per the original post. Please check the email you signed up with and let me know if you haven’t received anything, I’ll send another one. Log in to see images!
Secondly, to all of you who would say I’m targeting the wrong demographic, never going to get anyone to sign up, etc…. you’re somewhat correct. I’m not going to get MOST people to sign up. The idea here, however, and of any advertising, is to disseminate your product to the largest number of people you can. This certainly isn’t my only campaign, but it’s one of the only ones I’m running that rewards people just for checking it out. I’d be very pleased if I were to get more than one out of every 15 people viewing the information to join.
More than anything, this campaign is a way for me to gather some information – no, not your email addresses, but rather the relative effectiveness of a reward-based campaign for my business.
For anyone who’s genuinely curious about the results, this thread has so far had 421 views, and I’ve given out around 35 points. A couple of those people have generated subsequent leads.
As compared, my community ad has made almost 60,000 impressions and generated 81 CTs. Of those clickthroughs, I’ve had maybe 3-4 signups.
Of course, for relative value, the community ad was dirt cheap, but the reward system seems to be much more efficient in generating leads. Were I doing this through a pay-per-CT service, the cost would be roughly the same for far fewer leads.
So far, this seems to have been rather successful, from my standpoint. (view post) |

does anyone have AIM?I run AIM right now, although I prefer MSN. It’s a lot easier for my girlfriend to use AIM at work though, so we go with that.
The latest version really fixes much of what I hated about it, although you still have to play with the settings a bit. (view post) |

A free BP for everyone!Heh, you can enter a fake phone number, Bacon. I only said the email needs to be valid, so you’ll actually see the information I’m trying to disseminate.
I went with one because I’m hoping to give out a lot of them. Since it’s not a contest – everyone who participates gets one – that can mean an awful lot of BP handed out.
Anyway, if you’re not interested, that’s fine. Log in to see images! (view post) |

A free BP for everyone!Guys, seriously, I’m a real person and a real player. I enjoy the game and yes, I’m advertising my business, because I thought it was a great way to give something back to the people who made ForumWarz and get something for my dime as well.
Nobody’s under any obligations here, I promise. Anyone who is interested in the offer, that’s great. Anyone who’s not, get your free BP and get out.
I’m serious when I say I get nothing out of you doing that. It’s purely a way to encourage people to take a look at the offer. If you want to ask me anything at all, go right ahead.
I’m not some scary internet robot, and I wouldn’t advertise this if I didn’t believe in it. Log in to see images!

Hi everyone. I’m Dorque, and I’ve been playing ForumWarz for a little while now, but I haven’t really got to know anyone. I have a great offer for you all, and I’m going to give away a free BP to anyone who wants to check it out! First, let me tell you a little bit about myself.
My real name is Don, and I’m currently a college student majoring in business management. A few months ago, I was completely drowning in debt, going to school full time and not working. Then I found something that changed my life completely – and I’d like to share it all with you.
All you have to do to collect your BP is check out the same free offer I did. It’s given me total financial independence, and I’m well on my way to paying off my student loans.
The best part of this for you is that it won’t cost you a thing to get your free BP and take a look at this free system. I won’t get anything out of it either, if all you want is the BP. You do have to enter a valid email address, and I’ll explain how I’ll check that in a moment – and I promise, it’ll remain completely private. I’ll never sell it, never give it out, and you won’t have to hear from me ever again, unless you want to.
So here’s the deal. Go to my personal website – http://www.NoCatchProfits.com – and fill out the form there. Send me a Tubmail with the email you signed up with. I’ll email you there from my personal email account, asking you to confirm where I should send the BP. Email me back, and you’ll get you BP! You don’t have to do anything else, and I promise you that I won’t be getting anything for it.
That being said, I’d definitely encourage you to look over the offer. It’s real, it’s 100% genuine, and it’s a fantastic opportunity. It really, honestly works. I’ve already invested some of my profits in BP for you – if you check out my profile, you’ll see the e-peen.
So, take the time to check it out, please. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
Regards,
Dorque
