I just came across this thread in the WW forums talking about finding CMT marked bills. So I thought that this was as good a time as any to remind you to treat any WW bills you find in the same manor as we would expect them to treat ours.
I'll also take a few seconds to let you know that I think all bills should be marked with at most ONE tracking site. That's not to say that you can't participate at multiple sites (several people use both CMT and WW) but if a bill is marked with WW then I think you should leave it as such, and vice versa for them. Stamping a bill with multiple sites only ends up spliting hits.
Here is some further reading on bill marking and spliting hits between sites:<ul>
mark your bills nicely
mark your bills nicely #2
only stamping with one site
only stamping with one site #2

Yikes, I hope I never get a nasty email like the example given!
I once found a WW bill and entered it, and also entered some of my own, but then I decided that I only want to belong to THIS site, so I didn't go back. Then I founf another WW bill and I didn't enter it.
Now that you mentioned that we would like them to do it for us, I thought about it and I agree. I will enter any other bills from any other sites for them. I also agree on multiple stamps confusing newcomers. I will not stamp any bills from the other sites anymore. (I will still enter them here though, just not stamp them.)
That sounds like the start of a Bill Tracker's Code of Ethics! Work on it and post it on all 3 sites!

Thankyou for posting this dr and elaborating on marked bills. You may wish to read my comments under the follow ups, where I made mention of bills I've found and a unique way to use any stamp where just the url is written in, as I experienced with Iron Man's bill awhile back. In the case of his bill which had only the url on the back, I added 2 lines of text above it. Surprisingly enough 'Tracker' or CMT bills do manage to find themselves in the hands of some 'Williers', and the temptation is great to give it a whack(likewise with CMT). Since there is very little room for a stamp on the bills(where they'll stick), and handstamping the front is often not a good Idea, by doing this one almost guarantees destruction of the bill.
In addition to my previous post, I have yet to find a WW bill, but I would report it if I found one. I used its American cousin to report any American bills I come across.
I guess there aren't any WW bills in Edmonton because I've never seen one…have you JaketheDrifter? Serotonin? Jewels222? MiketheDrifter? SailorBoy? If I did get one, I would trade it in for one I could stamp. I stamp front and back. I don't think it splits hits that way. Some people don't keep their money long enough to look at both sides of it…lol! Besides I have over 500 hits on CMT and less than 50 at WHIB.

Well, there is certainly no requirement to follow my suggestions though I think if we took a poll, you'd be one of only a few who stamps with multiple sites.
And as for spliting hits, you don't get what I mean. I don't mean split your hits, I mean it splits hits on the bills. For example, you enter a bill on multiple sites. Then someone enters in on site A. The next two people enter it on site B. And then the fourth entry is done on site C. The point is that there's no easy way without being the person who originally entered the bill to see all the hits on that bill. See what I mean? If you think that people who get the bill and want to casually enter it are going to enter the bill at multiple sites, I think you are sadly mistaken.

I found only one WW bill. The stamp really stood out, it was this super bright purple colour. I added my own stamp, but it only got hit on WW site (comment: Lots of stamps) Lol.
I don't think I would mark with my stamp anymore, the bill looked really crowded, and probably got scraped soon after.
Hay 21 I got a hit today from a WW user in ST Albert, not Edmonton but close.
After all the talk of entering WW bills one of my co-workers had one in her cashout today. I was quite tempted to take the unmarked bill over the WW marked bill, but thought how I would want someone else to enter mine. And it's only the second WW bill I've seen. I'll see lots of unmarked bills still to come.
I've had 3 WW bills so far…2 for BizRodian and 1 for Rhea in Calgary.
I've also had 3 CMT bills…one each for kimberlite, Idjit, and MASTERRAISTLIN.
I haven't found any WHIB ones yet.
