Wow! This was really an annoying feature!

And why oh why is a link shown in my status if I am stupid enough to click on it? You could aswell have had banners all over the interface, cause thats the only reason I guess!

And second. When is the release coming that excludes this function? Since I dont see any option to show this within the interface or not!

The link is to advertise Messenger Plus! Live to your contacts.

The contest is only there to give you the option to win a prize and it has been successful for a few years.  If you don't want to play, just don't click the button.

The contest button will be removed sometime after the contest is finished in a month

In addition to what djdannyp said:

murko,

That button isn't a feature, it's a temporary game where you can win real prizes.
The link is also there to give you more chance in winning a price.
And you don't need to download a new release for the button to be gone. As djdannyp said, the button will be removed after the contest is over, automatically, in August. (Plus! will detect this and the button will not be shown anymore).

What you smokin' murko? There's a tiny contest button which is hardly intrusive and if you click it it tells you exactly what it is (a contest) and what it will do BEFORE it changes your personal message.

Direct quote from the window which appears as soon as you click the button:
quote:
The rule is simple: click on the image and find the prizes! They are all "hidden" in specific coordinates that were randomly generated at the beginning of the contest. Pick a spot, click, and you will be instantly notified if you won the prize or not. You can play as many times as you want for the duration of the contest. The only requirement is to let Messenger Plus! add a promotional tag in your personal message while you play, that's it.
At that point you can choose whether you wish to play or not. Any sentient being capable of reading would read the clear, plain writing and known exactly what it is: the opportunity for Messenger Plus users to win real prizes, as many already have, in exchange for only a link being placed in your personal message for the duration the game is played.

If you don't want to win prizes just click the cancel button and that's all there is to it, what's the problem? You are either a half-wit or a douche.

Hey yo
So I won something and want to ask if the shipping fee is paid by them or I have to pay for it?... Because if so this contest is pointless for me because the shipping fee would cost like 10x the prize lol.

It ships for free worldwide.

Although import taxes your country adds can be an issue. Import taxes vary per country and the person who sends the package can't really control it. But the packages will be sent as a gift, which may mean they are free of tax, or depending on the value of the package have a small tax fee.

If the import tax fee does turn out to be a problem you can try contacting Patchou about it, in previous contests he came up with a solution for other people. They'll hold the package for you while you work it out. In the worst case you don't accept the package, but nobody can force you to pay if you don't accept the package.

O.P. RE: The Messenger Plus! 2009 Contest
There was a display glitch affecting those special referral links, thanks for reporting the issue, it's fixed now. Rest assured though, all the referals are properly counted, with and with quotes :).
