Petition to stop allowing Carribbean schools from Advertising on SDN

Members don't see this ad.

I saw an ad on Facebook for Ross not more than 30 minutes ago. I cried inside as people tagged their friends and family members telling them they should apply.

I see, I've never heard of her but I'm glad that someone doesn't use their own image while insulting others.

The sarcasm is lost on this one...

Personally, I never see ads for the Carib. I do see ads for Amazon telling me to buy more shoes. It's awful for my wallet.

Well then, it seems the OP wishes can come true by simply donating to SDN. Perhaps if enough do, then SDN will be self sufficient.

So put your money where your mouth is and pony up

The lifetime donor banner is a sweet deal. Too broke to afford it at the moment though 🙁 🙁

Yes but Lifetime is the only one that doesnt disappear. So its a sweet deal and working to get that

how about just click on the ads? You realize that is the main method that google charges for ads... then you are incrementally hurting the school while at the same time supporting SDN.

Meh. If the Carib schools want to advertise on a forum that bashes them into oblivion on the regular, that's their business. Ads are ads- anything that keeps the servers up is fine by me. It's not like they wouldn't get a million ads for Carib schools everywhere else anyway care of Google Analytics.

Once I'm a resident I'm going to do the bronze+silver+gold+lifetime for the lulz.

I oppose the Account on Hold badge. Why would a troll get a badge for getting banned?

So this one time, I pretended to be banned to buy myself an extra night in WW and things kind of got out of hand... A badge prevents such trolling in the future.

Are people really that annoyed of a small add on the bottom of the screen? Let's get real here. You and I both know we shouldn't go to school in the Carib. Okay. No big deal.

I honestly never really noticed them until they were brought to my attention.

Same here. And then I started actively looking for them... and they're not even popping up all over the place. Neurotic, neurotic, neurotic.

Who wants to start a petition to stop SDN from accepting advertisements from Caribbean schools. People are coming out 5-6 years older with a huge debt burden and no useful degree. The majority of Caribbean matriculants never get into residency. The forum owners owe this to its members.

Do you think sdn cares? I'm sure they get paid alot.

 

[PikminOC]

Those ads pay the bills for SDN. On a purely utilitarian perspective, the revenue of SDN is vested in the revenue of caribs, which keeps the forum alive for students who are going USMD and USDO. It's for the greater good.

Pretty sure this site can function without them. Just donate so you don't see the ads
