      You can't have twinks but you can have cum guzzling anal whores? Doesn't make sense except that maybe twinks tend to look kind of young.

              Simply a TOTAL inability to understand what twink is which is funny coming from a processor handling so many adult sites. Of course the definition has changed a little with the Internet to also include (mainly include these days?) teens which the original meaning of twink didn't - it was 20 somethings.

              Makes you wonder why they bother with adult at all if they have that much trouble understanding simple and widely used terms.

                      Everyone using Globill needs to stop and think about this. Bad business decisions that prove their lack of understanding of the industry and their unwillingness to learn and work with their clients is not a good sign.

                      Before you tell me how awesome Globill is and how paranoid I am, think of all the other processors that have gone completely under or gotten so shitty that people are constantly having to chase their checks, beg for support, etc, and think of all the little warning signs that came first.

                          Ask them very specifically for what THEIR definition of a "twink" is.
                          Heck, that would put half the gay sites out of business!
                          Sounds like a bunch of homophobers!

                              overture blocks anything you can imagine
                              and twinks keyword is allowed
                              they need to get a clue there

                                  I use them as backup because they are not as good as CCBILL, but this email pissed me off and I'm looking for another backup billing right now

                                      If VISA slap down 'twinks' as one of there banned words in the near future, then Globill are just doing what they have always done since the VISA fees appeared, be one step ahead of the game.

                                                      Twink has absolutely nothing to do with underage sex in any way, shape or form. Rejecting it no matter what company shows either a very low IQ or bad case of homophobia.

                                                                              Change the term by 'young adult males' and move on. In some years from now, we will be in deep shit if we continue to walk on the border line.

                                                                                      That said, I am not saying they are right. Just that's prolly the thinking behind it.
                                                                                      Then where do you draw the line? There's a load of sites out there use the word sex and fucking when talking about lolitas. Are these words to be banned too? I see to an extent what you're saying but twink remains something not connected with underage sex. Until recent years it didn't even mean late teens. When any company (especially one like Globill who should at least have half a clue) starts dragging fairly generic terms into the CP arena for little real reason things just start to get absurd.

                                                                                      Lolita has always had a totally different meaning. It only ever meant underage as it was taken from a book about just that subject. Twink is the total opposite.

                                                                                      It really is a form of homophobia. A total lack of understanding or willingness to learn a little about a subject (you are otherwise happy to take dollars from) because you find it distasteful. There's no other real explaination.

                                                                                                          I dunno but I have come across a number of gay sites screaming "TWINK!" all over the place that actually contained (illegal) underage pics. Maybe the term has become bastardized by a few bad webmasters, like the term "lolita". A number of processors don't accept sites that scream the word lolita either.

                                                                                                          I have sites with Glo-bill and frankly I like the idea that they are being strict with the type of sites they support. Their fraud scrub is excellent as well - does not throw out good signups but pinpoints the bad ones.

                                                                                                          Of course if I was running a (legal) twink site I would probably feel otherwise.

Lolita = underage girl, no ifs or buts. Twink never has and again just because it's used on a site that does feature CP does that mean it should be banned from all adult sites? How many other terms both gay and/or adult were used on all of those sites? They are going to be banned also then?

                                                                                                                      A processor should know better. Rather than 'anticipating' future VISA rules (and let's face it - we're talking about Globill here already openly flaunting VISA rules it seems) they should be protecting their intrests ie adult sites. Making what should be very acceptable terms banned or taboo can only help give VISA ammunition. CP sites should be shut down but not for using what should be acceptable adult terms especially in the gay community. If we start doing thata none of us will remain in business very long.

                                                                                                                      Again though you cannot compare twink to lolita. Lolita = underage. Twink does not.

A possibly reasonable rule would be that if it's very clearly illegal they don't allow it. They've already gone beyond that and no doubt they'll go a lot further before they stop. Just hope you don't have any domains with the word "girl" or "teen" in them.

Before I signed up with them, I did research on this board and on the net about the whole registration thing. Not all regions of the world come under the same rules as Visa USA. Glo-bill also assured me that they are fully compliant *in their region*. If you are going to say that they are not, eventhough you work for neither Globill nor Visa, then that sounds like slander to me.

The truth is certainly neither of those.

                                                                                                                                          Then make sure that you and anyone else commenting on my statements can read.

                                                                                                                                          I can ask if a particular processor is compliant if I want, and there's not fuckall you or your legal department can do about it. There is not one thing askance in my comment nor is it libelous, so get over it. IF Globill is processing for US based companies and settling those transactions in locations other than the US, as the rules are stated, their US clients are NOT in compliance as the rules have been explained by multiple processors who have read the regs, had their attorneys read the regs, and clearly understand the regs.

The truth is certainly neither of those.

There is not one thing askance in my comment nor is it libelous, so get over it. IF Globill is processing for US based companies and settling those transactions in locations other than the US, as the rules are stated, their US clients are NOT in compliance as the rules have been explained by multiple processors who have read the regs, had their attorneys read the regs, and clearly understand the regs.

                                                                                                                                              Perhaps I should send an email to compliance at Visa and ASK THEM what they think of this situation? I'm sure at that point we can determine whether or not there's any libel, slander or miscommunication on your part to the webmaster community going on?

                                                                                                                                                                          *shrug* Do you really expect VISA US processors, when anybody asks them about US companies, to say, 'Yup, it's okay, you can process outside VISA US for free'.

Visa WILL get around to fucking all of these non-compliant processors. AC Pay, Globill, any one of them that's processing for US clients but not settling in the US (Cross-border acquisition).

Here is what I just got - looks like they object only to the word, not site type or layout..

                                                                                                                                                                                          However, the words "twink" and "lolita" have come to be associated too strongly with underaged content, and it is simply the use of those words that we are currently not allowing.

Visa WILL get around to fucking all of these non-compliant processors. AC Pay, Globill, any one of them that's processing for US clients but not settling in the US (Cross-border acquisition).

I stand by Globill as my preferred processor. They acted with class during the whole Visa thing and were one of the only processors not greedy enough to gouge webmasters with $750 fees (when the actual Visa fee is only $500).

                                                                                                                                                                                              If their region changes their rules at some point and they also have to charge fees, I am sure they will only pass on the exact fee and not pad it like the others are doing. That's my Word of God.

You'd think they MIGHT have taken a slightly different approach to their response.
