Woops! Borderlands viral marketer gets busted and banned at GAF

[Zeus]

What happens when a viral marketer goes on a popular and respected gaming forum and tries to pretend just to be a regular gaming fan? He gets found out and BANNED is the answer. A viral marketer recently went to NeoGAF and was blatantly advertising Borderlands in a post denoting why the respective title is his number 1 upcoming title. GAF was having none of his antics! Just makes you wonder how many other firms are doing this?

Update 2!

I just posted up a follow up feature on the whole NeoGAF madness, and how I got banned, due to this particular post! Just so it's clear: No, I don't work for Gearbox and no I'm not a viral marketer.

I wonder how many "agents" EA has by now on every major forum.
