Second, I read your contest rules in that thread you had going. You made no mention of the fact that it was mandatory that webmasters send you hits in order to win. Yes, it is customary to hope that they will send hits to the program, but that wasn't a hard and fast rule. Of course you're going to get a few people signing up who don't send hits, how can you be surprised by this? This point is neither here nor there anyway. Hard to believe you are now implying that because he sent you no traffic he is somehow less deserving of the prize money. That's a very dumb thing to be saying.

Thirdly, if you are sick of threads like this then in future you best make damned sure something like this never happens again. AND, try to be less confrontational when you DO have to post something in the way of dealing with a complaint.

Fourth -- that last item about you putting something fishy in your freehost.... your response tells me that you may actually have done something like that and that you don't give a shit about anyone's complaints about it, and that you will turn a deaf ear to said compaints. I don't know what kind of business manuel you're working from but I would suggest tossing it in the trash and getting a new one.


Threads like this don't have to happen, and I don't like seeing them any more than you do. I hate seeing this sort of horseshit going on every damned week in the community that I do business in. Hate it. But if you're looking to assign blame for this particular thread you best quit trying to deflect it and take some responsibility for your own mistakes.

And you know.... I wouldn't go mentioning irrelivant information like somone not sending any traffic. You never know if a few weeks or a few months from now someone won't start sending a shitload of hits and signups. Your comment to that point seems like very short-term thinking to me.
