Ashley Renee - one of the most prominent and well-known of all bondage models in the industry has apparently been contacted by CCBill and told to remove her links to BondageDirectory.com.

Is this true?

And if so - do you wish to explain the justification to everyone?

Corvette is out on vacation so we did not notice this thread till now. Yes we do let him take a vacation every 5 years even if he does not need it. The simple fact is that both Visa and Mastercard have Zero tolerance for certain types of adult material. Rape just happens to be one of those categories. Just like the Teen Site operators have to be concerned on how their sites are being "MARKETED" which is the same as being linked to in the Card Associations mind. The Bondage Market has to be concerned with Rape.

If you think this is a joke just ask one of my competitors why they had to change there name from Mysomething. I can also tell you that there are a couple of other companies in very hot water with MasterCard over this very issue.

CCbill has not had any trouble with this issue, nor do we plan to ever have any trouble. This is why our Compliance Department works 24hrs a day to review all our sites.

I am sure that the people at BondageDirectory.com are great people but if they wish to link to paysites that promote sales via Visa and Mastercard they will have to prohibit certain types of content. It is just that simple.

I am going to bed guys I have a 7am flight for business in the Morning so time to rest. I hope this answers your questions if not I will try to look in on Wed night.
