TheRegulator

ICSTIS' system of regulation has always been based on network operators signing a contract with ICSTIS in which they agree to impose the conditions of the Code of Practice on their service providers. This system relies on commitment from all network operators who carry premium rate traffic ('terminating network operators').

Under their PTO license with The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Network Operators are obliged to enforce ICSTIS' system of regulation on their service providers, regardless of the type of service offered.

ICSTIS are sanctioned by the UK government!!!

Basically Varadox Communications will be shut down, and their UK Network operator is risking his license to operate a telecommunications system. BT will withhold payments to the network operator, and will probably claw back any payments collected fraudulently and thus Varadox will have no money to pay its Webmasters.

My qualifications.... I was fined by ICSTIS 3 years ago and believe me, its 100% enforceable... Ask my Lawyers!!!

Kimmykim

"KK ... I agree with you ... some dialers deserve to be shut down ... but my point is that as webmasters, we should not be held liable for the concious decisions of our surfers ... It is not like webmasters are FORCEFEEDING the dialers to the surfers ...(OK, a few are, and they deserve to be dealt with ...)Surfers are given a choice ... it is called the CANCEL button !!!"
----------------------------------

Hungryman, do not put words in my mouth, as you attempted to with what followed that paragraph.

Your analogies regarding alcohol and handguns are very poor ones at best.

The simple fact is that the FTC has already gone after sites using dialers and I'm sure that the site owners were positive the dialers were fine by the FTC.

Talking a big talk about cancels and free will is fine, but if there are enough complaints then these governing bodies feel compelled to take action for various reasons.

I don't personally care one way or the other about dialers, but when I read the other day in a post about how someone stayed connected for 12 hours to a dialer, well that's just asking for trouble.

And remember that the brush is often broad, and those that didn't even need a coat of paint many times get one too.

Dialers are evil.
so are blonds.

candidpublishinginc

Kimmykim,

That person never would have stayed on for 12 hours (if in fact he really did) if the dialer was ICSTIS compliant.

damn dialer topics, I cannot stand those anymore =D

And I gues he couldn't come up with da dough to Pay Tim to let him do it on AWI

After discussions with our attorneys and service providers, it has been determined that the current dialer is in compliance with all of the regulations questioned earlier in the message thread, with the exception of the PIN code system.

1) The cost of the call is prominently displayed immediately upon opening the dialer.

2) Our dialer combines the onscreen clock with a large and clearly visible disconnect button so that service may be discontinued at any time without further delay.

3) The "walled garden" security measure is in place on all internationally dialed calls. There are no legal requirements for such measures in the USA. Since "Richard" was able to surf other sites while using the dialer we must assume that he called from the USA, where no such measure is imposed.

4) Our corporate contact information is available in the dialer disclaimer.

5) The telephone number dialed is displayed prominently in the status box before and during the dialing operation.

6) We are working closely with our providers to devise a system of restricting access that does not assume that the first person to download and use the software is an authorized user. With most of the implemented PIN code systems, a child could lock a parent out of software as easily as a parent could lock out a child. We will continue to seek a more effective and practical solution.

7) Filtering measures are in place at the sites used by the dialer.

In all of the above cases, we have reviewed the current dialer software with our service providers and it has been deemed compliant. We have also contacted ICSTIS regarding these issues should the matter arise again. We have forwarded the thread in its entirety to our attorneys for review to be certain that this unprovoked attack on the character, reputation, legality and viability of Varadox was not in any way intentionally orchestrated to hinder Varadox.

As for the assertion that our dialer software retains an unfair competitive advantage, we could not agree more. Our dialer is smaller and can be downloaded in less time. We host the dialers for webmasters, increasing their bottom line by alleviating bandwidth costs associated with the downloads. We pay up to 88 cents per minute, including an unprecedented 20 cents a minute for Turkey. We have the fastest, friendliest, most reliable management and development teams in the industry. We can certainly see how these facts might worry our competition.

Clearly "Richard" is in possession of either a beta or developers copy of our dialer. These dialers are used for testing purposes and are often feature-lean to expedite testing measures. Another reason why we host the dialer software for our webmasters is to ensure that they are always distributing the latest, most feature-rich release.

We would like to thank everyone who participated in the topic for their forthright discussion. Your suggestions have helped to make Varadox dialer software products stronger and even more competitive than before.

Bottom line here is...Richard is a shit stirring cocksucker who needs to mind his OWN damn business instead of Tams. Who the fuck elected you dialer cop anyway? Re-insert your head up your own ass once more until you can learn to behave!

*smacking your ass* Bad Richard!

*LMAO*

Rivux

I am on your side Richard (well someone has to be)

You are getting kicked around like a rented mule, so I have come to the rescue.

Not exactly sure what help I can be, but I will thwart off the evils of competitor dialers for you.

If this doesnt work, can I do the eulogy at your funeral?

richard

1) SongRider, i neither know you, or have ever done business with you - and you likewise. Get you head out of Tam's ass please.

2) Wolfshade?? you losing the plot my man.

Supplying information - 1%

Does anyone know the url to our webmaster program, or to our dialer? Nope, you dont, unless i either told you, or one of the trusted people i told showed you.

Which is kinda funny, since, apparently, 98% of my posts were aimed at promoting my own sutff ?

Tam Tam Tam, i'm going to download several copies of the dialer, for serveral TGPs, post a mirror of them, and let you all decide.

I had not damn beta dialer, i have a dialer live on a bigish tgp site, sitting on my desktop here, breaking all the icstis rules i mentioned.

richard

Lensman/Wizzo, what IP is this i am posting from?

richard

The above post was made whilst connected to tiny-teenies.com's Varadox dialer.

Proving you do not have garden walling.

nuttin personal here!!!! And your url is in your profile babe....... nahh.... we don't know how to find it hidden in there.

I stand corrected I'll make it:

Inability to read properly - 10%
Misc - 1%



I'm not referring to all your posts I am talking about this thread, so read next time.

Another thing: you sure trust a lot of people like 90% of the AWI board knows your dialer and even I know it and we both know we're not close friends eh?

And I gues then that Snicker is a very close buddy to you also eh?
Damn I must get close friends friends like that!

You kinda said it yourself in the other thread you posted this because you didn't get the exposure you desired in the old one

Lookie here DICK(Richard) What ever! Tam happens to be my WIFE! Get that? What ever concerns her concerns me as well. And you have been a thorn in her side for sometime now. So NEVER tell me NOTHING to do with her! Not a fuckin option! I have watched you threaten, and try and fuck with her reputation for almost a year now. Back the fuck off man! Being threatened by her sucess is one thing but this continuing harrassment is borderline stalking dude. If you choose to dance then I'll be your partner, but trust me , you best choose wisely, cause I'll walk all over your ass.

As for my head up her ass? I sure do brother and let me tell you its fucking nice up there!*S*

Maybe thats your problem...got a crush or something? *LMFAO*

Tam

Oh WAIT!!!!!!!! Why did ya kill your url to your site and replace it with an under construction page, Richard? Woohoo....... good thing I collected the urls when I looked at it in your profile earlier today.......... here it is.... I'll spam for ya babe:
http://www.gibhar.com/dialer/

well damn... why'd ya kill the links to it and do the construction thing now richard? Things that make ya go hmmm............

www.qbabes.com/sexviewer2.exe

This was the file i downloaded yesterday from www.tiny-teenies.com (random tgp i ran into, no connection with webmaster - or mistress, have a feeling it is Jenny's?).

Hats off to Varadox tech staff, they have made a fairly competent bodge job of the new dialer.

The new dialer, www.qbabes.com/sexviewer3.exe is STILL IN VIOLATION OF ICSTIS GUIDELINES.

1) Does not have COST clock showing call cost.

2) Does not have garden walling.

3) Does not show address/contact details of service provider

4) Does not have PIN protection.

People, unpopular as this opinion may be, but i have lost all respect for Tam. She has lied to you all.

I downloaded the dialer from tiny-teenies.com link YESTERDAY, and they have made an update to it today. (as they host all the dialers).

This was no fucking beta/development dialer, it was one i downloaded from a big tgp YESTERDAY, whilst hosted on YOUR frigging servers!

I am totally gob-smacked at your attitude to this Tam.

I am not out to ruin a program, at the end of the day, i want to have FAIR competition, not the bullshit you are pulling.

I'm mildy satisfied that "my thread" has resulted in hectic work for the Varadox techs - ALL I WANT IS ICSTIS COMPLIANT COMPETITION.

Couple of other points:

== Mag, my thoughts exactly, surely making this post on this board is going to be "harder" than on a board i have ops?

==Rivux, cheers, nice to see someone not bashing me just because i dont kiss Tam's ass.

==SongRider, did not know you were her old man. makes my ass comment rather funny i gotta admit. But also makes your comments a pile of poop

==Wolfshade, you dont have my webmaster program url, because i've _never_ posted it on any board... yet . What did you mean about Snickster? I did not know him until yesterday, as did you i guess? Spoke to him briefly today over icq, and seemed a good bloke - even if he is playing Devil's Advocate .

==Tam, www.gibhar.com is our company url, the entire site is under redesign, as you are aware. There is nothing to hide there, just shitty content at the moment - which is of embaressment to me gibhar.com/dialer is our non-porn dialer page, again with shitty content.

The notion that i am somehow out to promote my own stuff is absurd, and you are scrapping the barrel.

hmn, not sure i have much else to say, except to again state that Tam is full of shit, and that i am still shocked to see this side of her.

wolfshade

First off that URL Tam posted was(untill now) the right URL and as for Snickster:

He managed to dig up a lot on your dialers and that's kinda hard to do without knowing your dialer eh?

You are hellbent on making Varadox look bad. It must be so your Telcoweb dialers look good.

Also if your dialer realy was only known to people you trust there would be no competition for you as trusted people are loyal people, making this thread irrelevant to your own remarks in here.

In other words the full of shit remark is correct only it's not Tam who it applies to

And for the record with that last post I do not want to imply that Telcoweb dialers are not good, because they are

Just like Dialerking and Varadox they are all exellent dialers I can recommend to anybody.

I dont think Snickster "dug up alot on our dialers", and i feel i answered his points in a satisfactory manner. Like i said, i have no grudge with the bloke, and spoke briefly over icq with him on related/unrelated matters - there is no issue between us. I dont get mad with people on boards, they are after all, just boards to discuss and debate on.

Another interesting point Wolfie, if you read all the replies in this post, i'm sure you will find no mention of Telcoweb, nor of me posting urls to our own programs or sites (i do not have an 8 line sig you will notice). Sure, in my profile i have www.gibhar.com, and my email addy is richard at gibhar.com (though it doesn't show it). I also have my icq number, i dont have anything to hide here.

As it happens, we have not launched our program agressively to webmasters, we have instead been concentrating on expanding our reseller network. The webmaster program will come, along with all our personal minutes, just a few more bits and pieces to put together. If you wanna take a look at the webmaster program url as it is at the moment, drop me a mail or icq.

Also if your dialer realy was only known to people you trust there would be no competition for you as trusted people are loyal people, making this thread irrelevant to your own remarks in here.

I am all for competition, so long as it is fair.

wolfshade

Richard,

Nice try but try again

1) If you were realy concerned about their dialer as you stated here I wonder why you posted here at all.

Because they have their own board, where I'm sure the issue would be adressed much faster.

Second posting stuff like this on boards is not a nice thing to do. It's the same as badmouthing a sponsor on a board. In fact I find dit even more strange that you didn't contact Varadox in private at all. After all you Tam's ICQ# and the owner is easy to find also So I can only conclude that it had to be on a public board for other reasons.

2) Sure you don't promote your dialer, but I'm sure you have your reasons, as I will not mention here, because I suspect it, which is something else then proof. I will dig and find out though, rest asured of that.

3)For the record you did notanswer any of Snickers points here buddy if yes please do point them out

Now before you reply saying you did it through ICQ let me state that in that case I find it again very strange that issues on your dialer are handled by ICQ yet the rest gets bashed on a board

I'm still on vacation, but being in Scotland allready I got half a mind of checking stuff out for myself
