As you all know there are two sides to each story, and the mere fact is that even though we have been making money from Amy and she did good money with ImLive as well, we made up our minds to suspend her account until further notice as a result of very recent information received from our bank regarding fraudulent check-related activities carried out in her name. Amy then chose to close her account.
This is a webmaster board and not a hosts one but I'll put in our side of the story any way.
Since Amy herself has brought up the issue of her fine in early 2005, we wish to clarify that we did indeed fine Amy as she mentioned but this was because of fraud committed by her in our guest referral program despite earlier explicit warnings given to hosts regarding the exact type of fraud she committed.
Then later in the year we received complaints from end users that Amy was promoting her site to them during video chats. This is a big NO NO in our term of service and host agreement. If you want to work as a host on ImLive you can't promote anything to the ImLive members. But even thou Amy wasn't working according to our terms of use we gave her one more chance.
This time we have received a complaint from a bank saying that someone was
trying to pass two forged ImLive checks in the amount of nearly $10,000 and deposit them in her name. We have no doubt about these facts. We suspended her account in order to investigate the suspicions until we could reach final conclusions. (As mentioned above Amy closed her account after receiving notice of her suspension.)
Due to Amy's prior bad activities and due to the fact that we can hardly believe that this is a coincidence since not only is the forgery clear to us and the bank, but also Amy is the most obvious potential beneficiary of these checks, we came to the decision to suspend her and definitely assume that everybody else will come to their own conclusions regarding working with this lovely girl.
Much hard work went into making ImLive a top-notch brand name and as such we make our best and most rigorous efforts to keep it that way. The hosts know and the affiliates know that we pay top dollars every other week to thousands of hosts and thousands of webmasters, and as Amy said we send hosts lots of awards just like we do with webmasters. For the benefit of the thousands of hosts and millions of members, we make sure to remove hosts as well as guests that are not working according to our terms of use - in order to maintain ImLive as an orderly and clean working environment.
We wish Amy and her new business associates the best of luck...
