Hi Kevin,

Waiting for Anthony's update..

Update on the news:

Vouchercodes.com got a 24-hours suspension warning from all networks and the IAB.

This was the second warning, after they silently reverted to their violating activity *just two weeks!* after previous warning.

Now they made a very slight alteration to their site structure to mark expried codes in a grey color now and outline them.

The IAB seems to be satisfied?

However, they still continue to violate most of VC guidelines:
- expired codes are still shown with the green arrow as active codes, confusing customers to click.
- expired codes are shown as active, with expiry dates deliberately set as 'Ongoing'. All other affiliates know these codes are expired
- on top of every codes page there is a link to 'Show all Latest Offers' which does nothing but just opens merchant website and plants cookies. This is a clear violation of guidelines. Nowhere it is mentioned that the merchant site will be open. This is done deliberately to confuse consumers.

Overall, the site has did nothing after the 'final' warning from the IAB to improve it's credibility and just continue to parasite on consumers confusion.

Why it is so hard to stop such unscrupluous behaviour?

Networks, who are in fact benefit from such defrauding of merchants, seem to be playing the rule of a judge and an accused at the very same time.
This obviously leads nowhere..
