I'd be a lot more inclined to consider his recommendation if he wasnt affiliated with the company.

Edit: Ctrl-F Jubbyuk

I am just wondering how you know that is him.
Did I miss something?
Was his name mentioned somewhere?

EDIT: Guess I should learn to read further BEFORE asking questions.

Just saw this from that blog you posted:

Hello everyone

Thank you for the warm welcomes - It makes me very happy.

I look forward to helping all of you via the proper channels.

Richard

Like I said in my earlier post ... there is a thin line between spam and information ... guess this actually crossed that line.

Well I suppose there could be 2 people with the same username and BOTH related to Quidco in some way but thats just too much of a coinsidence for me to even consider.

Edit:  Ah you just missed my edit, no worries.

That would be an awful big coinsidence ... very unlikely 

It seems to be company policy.

Lookout for our newest crew member, XXXXX! She'll be around helping people out with Quidco related stuff in the wilds of the web, foraying into forums and giving guidance and updates in discussions about Quidco.

Name edited by me.

Thanks for investigation. I think now we have a decision guidance how to answer a possible rules violation...

We have moderators? I would think that to be a Ken or Gerri decision. I think it's nuts to attempt to guess Jubbyuk's motives. Jubbyuk is the only one that knows. It's up to Ken or Gerri to decide what they will tolerate and won't they won't. To jump to conclusions, make accusations, and investigate(for no reason other than to assume)  constitutes a red arrow way more than jubbyuk's original post. IMO.

I was only referring to the proper use of the reputation system - not more or less...

Edit:
Maybe my translation (GER-ENG) did not mirror what I mean

EDIT: I have given no one a red arrow. I gave one green arrow to reybr on this topic.

Sorry Opus IMO, if you work for the company and send info regarding ways to make the company money (eg earn money why you buy) it IS spam.  The spammer waited as long as he did only because he wasn't working for the company yet.

Then we'll have to agree to disagree. I feel it's Ken and Gerri's decision. Being that the topic is still up I get a feeling it's not that big of a deal. Also, the original poster doesn't make a dime, i.e. no way to track where a customer may come from, AND no one has a gun to their head to purchase anything. If you think it's a good deal, great. If not, you don't join.

Opus, being that they work for the company even if they are not on commission, they still receive compensation as an employee.  As you said we will have to agree to disagree.  However, if you work for a company (receive compensation) and you tell a group of strangers about your company in order to get them to try it out, your company, which can only stay in business by having customers (ie keep you compensated) it is spam...

I'm sure he/she just want to let us know something interesting that he/she have found. If he/she is a spammer that the most patient that I've ever seen (register since september 28).
Doesn't look like a spam to me

Same here; passing on info on how to save money is abit like saying "the cheapest online store for 'a Title' is Amazon/DeepDiscout/Play" etc and we don't say those are spam... infact they're usually encouraged.
