Greetings! Gather around everyone, while I prepare to tell you a tragic story about loss and injustice! Okay, so I’m exaggerating a bit and using drama to a slight degree, but you’ll see what I mean in time. 😉

Before I get started, I’d like to state that I normally don’t like to waste precious seconds of my time ranting about misfortunes and unjust actions; however, I’m going to take some time to explain this specific situation because someone searching for answers about Oceanside Wealth may never have the chance to read the explanation and answers to his/her questions that I presented.
Yahoo Answers is a popular platform that allows its members to ask and answer questions about miscellaneous topics. Recently, an anonymous participant asked a few questions about the Oceanside Wealth forex opportunity, stating that he/she was interested, but needed to clear up a few things. I decided to take his questions, one by one, and do my best to address each of his concerns. At the end, I included a link to a page on one of my websites, explaining that an oceanside wealth guide and walk-through was available if interested.
Allow me to state right now: I like to be VERY careful to avoid referral hi-jacking (stealing) and any acts of spam or solicitation. I have posted links to websites I own at Yahoo Answers before with ease, but I still like to be extra safe. So, below the link to the walk-through, I even stated the following (QUOTE):
“Please note: If someone has already specifically referred you to this program, please sign-up under their link and not my own. I’m always happy to accept and train new members; however, I don’t want to hi-jack you from someone else if they have already shared the opportunity with you.”

The very next day…
I received an e-mail from Yahoo saying: “Your content has been deleted. Violation Reason: Solicitation!!“
I was quite surprised to see this, since the Yahoo Answers terms and conditions even state you are allowed to include personal websites and e-mails as long as the post content isn’t some direct solicitation or spam attempt. Therefore, I decided it was time to send in an appeal explaining that my response was perfectly legal and fair, and that I’d be happy to edit the link if they absolutely insisted for whatever unknown reason…despite the fact that their own rules and T&C were on my side.

The next day rolls around…
And what do I find in my e-mail box? A notification of rejection with some bland, uniform e-mail from their system stating: “We have reviewed your appeal request. Upon review we found that your content was indeed in violation of the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines.” (Rolling my eyes…more than once too).
The “reviewer” in this case, Dennis Bauer, didn’t even give an effort to address my argument. Just a judge, jury, and executioner mock trial. Although, he did throw in a consolation prize: Yet ANOTHER link to their Rules/Terms and Conditions page. Just for kicks, I read their T&C over yet again, and laughed to myself as I realized how carelessly and irresponsibly this matter had been dealt with. Gold star for Mr. Dennis Bauer though…he’s probably buzzing through tickets and completing his assignments from Yahoo’s “customer care” department in record time.
As you probably guessed, I was a tad confused and irked…to say the least. As if you couldn’t already tell from the tone of this article! However, it is rather frustrating when you take time out of your day to try to help other people, and your response is discarded like a pile of trash or illegal spam. Unfortunately, this specific case is closed, and I don’t see the point in presenting future appeals to inept support staff on Yahoo’s end.
So, now to finally focus on the constructive means of this article (I know! You’ve been waiting for this…) 😀
I’ve decided to post my original response to the individual who posed the questions about Oceanside Wealth. Thankfully, Yahoo sent me a copy of my content during their first ridiculous “violation” notification. If nothing else, at least I will be able to post it here and hope that the Yahoo Answers participant or others with similar questions will still be able to gain from what should have been available to everyone.
Here is the post below. Some of it has been edited, to avoid redundancy for those who have read my “story” so far. Enjoy!

Oceanside Wealth is a brand new program using specialized forex software to invest member’s money. Unfortunately, no one can give you any personal experiences at this time because the forex investment opp won’t be available until later in September; potentially as early as next Saturday.
I’m not entirely sure what you read or what you were told by others, but oceanside is expected to achieve monthly returns of 10-20% per month. To be on the safe side, you should probably not assume you will earn the upper ends of 20% each month. Also, you must understand that forex results will vary from month to month. During the 15 month test period prior to OSW’s launch, the lowest month was 3% and the highest was 45%. Similar variance is likely to occur in the future as well.
Oceanside Wealth does indeed have a MLM (or network marketing) matrix/business aspect; however, it is optional. Those who choose to build the program can earn extra money on matrix positions below them. They are also entitled to 50% matrix checkmatch bonuses and 5% commission on their direct referral’s forex profits. If you are only interested in the investment portion of the program, you do not have to sponsor or recruit anyone. However, make sure your initial investment follows a good, logical business decision…..
For example, if you do not plan to build the business, keep in mind that Oceanside Wealth charges a $60 fee per month. Therefore, you will want to ensure that your initial investment isn’t small enough to render you monthly profits useless after the monthly fee. Although OSW technically has a minimum investment qualification of $100, Admin JD and I recommend a minimum of $300-500 or so if you are only interested in the investment opp.
OSW also has a special forum community available to all participants: Both forex investors and builders. If you decide to join the program, I look forward to seeing you there!
Take care for now,

As I said earlier, I think it would neat if the original poster found this, but I won’t hold my breath. Unfortunately, he did not provide an e-mail address or Yahoo ID, so I have no way of directly contacting him. I may still have a few tricks up my sleeve, but I think it’d be wise to focus on more productive measures for the time-being.
If nothing else, we can still all learn a valuable lesson from all of this. Next time you consider posting a summary or a series of answers…CONSIDER MAKING A COPY OR BACK-UP OF YOUR RESPONSE!!! 😛
Take care, everyone, and thanks for reading!
