If so, he should be banned no questions asked. Did Eric ban him? Why is he still here?

That wasn't for this guy, that was for someone in the past who was passing my sites off as his own.. I posted that in reference to porno jew's post quoted here:

OUTING urls on a public forum is a shitty move. I realize GFY is still in the stone ages but had you done this on any other forum, you'd be banned. BHW, WF, WaFo, etc.

That may be, but that first batch is CLEARLY mainstream, yet he was claiming they were adult. The names are not even "close" to adult where he could come close to trying to convert them to adult... He took all of 60 seconds to throw up a few blocks of text and figured he'd make $150 per link lmfao. I haven't seen very much of that since dfawebmaster was banned for scamming.. It might be different if the names were something that could be converted to adult and he put content on the site and did some link building for a few months and then waited to see how google reacted.. but that is clearly not the case.. most of the pages for those mainstream sites are still cached in google as mainstream which is going to give no benefit to the people paying $150 per link...
As far as brokering other people's links, that's fine if you are up front about it (Like Ray Does), but passing them off as your own, is a no-no. I can't tell you how many times in the past someone pulled that shit with my sites pretending to be me, and trading with an insurance website as the recip.. At the time I was using linkex, and with over 1000 sites in my network, those scam links would be up just long enough for the scammer to collect the money before I was able to remove them.. they were intentionally ripping people off. (or they would do a bait and switch with a legit recip link, and pull the recip once the person had paid). I have since switched to a different script because it was just getting out of control..
I do agree that he probably could have erred on the side of caution and just said: "these are not his domain names, or these are non-adult domains" and then kept the email with the list of urls to provide if he was called out on it.. but the thing is, there really is no question about what's going on here.. it's 100% evident..
