I used to LOVE the Warrior Forum - and I still do, but as of today, I simply do not understand some of the people called Warrior Moderators!
This post is NOT a rant at the Warrior forum - as the site is a FANTASTIC networking place, and a FANTASTIC revenue generator and I HIGHLY recommend you join up TODAY.
You can do so HERE
When I became successful online, I took the advice of my mentors and began to systemitise and outsource various small areas of my business - the Warrior section was one of these outsource areas… now outsourcing doesn’t have to mean hiring someone from the other side of the earth - you CAN outsource using friends or family members etc… and this is what I did on this occassion.
BIG mistake… so it turns out. I outsourced the WSO’s to my girlfriend, and they went fine for a while, and were very profitable. VERY profitable! $2400.00 in 11 hours is profitable right from just a $10.00 investment :)
However, I used many marketing tactics in my WSO’s such as scarcity, countdown timers, firesales. These are ALL perfectly legal, ethical methods of making money and increasing profits as any serious marketer will know.
The Warrior Moderators proceeded to lock my account. They said I was making my offers appear “more popular” by simply adding a post after every sale - and again as most marketers realise, this was to simply DEMONSTRATE to potential FUTURE customers, that sales were being made and the number of available products was decreasing!
Now, I’ll hold my hands up to one thing…
I was telling my Sonya to post Paypal transaction ID’s in the threads to show real sales - but apparently this wasn’t allowed either, so I immediately got her to comply and remove the Paypal ID’s from the thread in question…
Now moving on, correct me if I am wrong someone, but I believe to this day that you are NOT allowed to post RESALE RIGHTS products on the WSO section of the Warrior Forum UNLESS they are your OWN product… so I purchased a resale rights package - and made it into a UNIQUE product of my own - you can see that product…
It’s called Ray Johnson’s InfoMarketingMadness!
This is now a totally a totally unique product that I OWN, so I proceeded to get Sonya to list it as a WSO Offer on the forum… boom - the next time I came to try and login to my account I could not!
Weeks went by and STILL I couldn’t access my account.
In a measure to find out what was going on I contacted the Mods and got nothing but ludicrous replies, in some cases offensive replies - when all I wanted was a JUST reason! I could post names of moderators here but I do not want to go down that route.
In one particular case, I was called a “whiner”
for simply asking for an answer, so I called this moderator today and was hung up on! Talk about professional!
So today I posted a FINAL message to the moderators in an attempt to get my account back - here it is:
“Hi there
I am writing with respect to my account that was locked out.
The account ID is: XXXXXXXXX
I would like to give me the reasons why the account was locked out, as I have since spoke to Allen (forum OWNER) - and explained my situation.
I am a disabled marketer and relied a lot on the WSO section of the forum, and networking possibilities - I’m in Mike Filsaime’s coaching, have testimonials and am friends with some of the big IM’ers like: Cavanagh, Tom Beal, Reed Floren, Mark Joyner.
I grew my business and began to outsource - including the usage of the Warrior forum for link exposure and WSO’s - and this is where the problems began…
The reason I believe I was suspended is for displaying Paypal transaction ID’s in the posts which was INSTANTLY amended to abide with your forum rules. I BELIEVE you will have the exact reason WHY my account is locked out and that is ALL I ask for. A REASON.
Thanks again”
So I shall await a response from the moderators and see if I can get the account back, that is rightfully mine!
Have you ever had a situation like this on the Warriror Forum? Am I being fair? Are they being fair to me? Let me know by leaving your comments below, and any advice from fellow Warriors is appreciated greatly.
