The original poster was complaining about the lack of response to his emails, so were a few other people. By all means cancel an account, but tell the guy why and respond to his emails.

blooooops

sig spot :D

Smokey I think you should contact gfy admins and have the title changed. DatingGold Is a brand and they've worked their ass off to build an honest and well respected brand. Your title and this thread staying on page one of gfy is bad for them. People will read the title over and over and not even click the thread. The damage will be done to datinggold. People will have a negative opinion of them based on the title alone.

You've been around a long time. Surely you know better. The fact you had a disclaimer means you had your doubts about the thread title in the first place.

Out of one side of your mouth you sound human and a great guy to drink a beer and have a cigar with.

Out of the other you sound like an asshole.

despite the fact i just told you this ?
dude dont get your panties in a bunch, i have nothing against datinggold, i dont do dating much but if i were to recommend a sponsor datinggold would be on the list due to longevity alone.



are you serious ? dude dont make threats to me.. i recommend you shut the fuck up before you go any further. might do something you regret bigtime. If you want something ask properly or you will be ignored.

That's how it is when you run a successful company. He has to be the guy you want to have a beer with and know not to fuck over because he can be a real asshole. It doesn't win you any popularity contests but it keeps the business rocking. :thumbsup

Gangsta Gangsta... :pimp

i would have if he asked me nicely.

the whole thread was meant to be a farce that obviously more than one person completely missed, I guess my skills as a comedian are lacking lol

I have no problems with datinggold this thread wasn't even a poke at them , it was merely a funny reflection of that thread. Like a drug dealer complaining the judge didnt use proper legal procedure.

I guess i picked the wrong time of day or everyone is cranky lately cuz o the tubes lol.

If i could change the title myself easily i already would have done it before dg ever posted because in hindsight it was more inflamatory than it was meant to be ( !!! was supposed to be ??? )

I'll fly datinggold in my sig for a month with a "retraction" for free but i aint gonna do shit if you make threats or are rude, especially when no ill will was intended.

YUP, on both counts:2 cents:

I think people often forget this is GFY and "fucking around" not "serious discussions on who is legit". Those of you who took the thread title in any way serious considering the content "lighten up".

For those that know me/trust me or would value my opinion in any way would understand it was meant to be a joke. If anything actually promoting dg ( i would consider it bad taste to do the same thing to a company i didnt respect i.e. potshot )

On another note, look who shows up on that board:

Try not to lower yer IQ reading it.

Guess what its AlienQ LOL

he's alive and well in Blackhatworld ?:Oh crap

im guessing at least 2-3 more pages

Ak was referring to the disclaimer in the initial post and DG was referring to there not being a disclaimer in the thread title.

Lol, doridori just showed up there also, must be the place to go after you get banned from gfy.

probably making mad bling :thumbsup

Do you realize how hard Dating Gold works to have an honest and clean and reputable reputation? When you hit enter, to publish this thread, you undid all that. A business' reputation is nothing to joke about. Calling them a SCAM is no joke. That's a serious claim that no owner ever takes lightly.

Love to my Dating Gold Crew!!!

Why do you give a shit?

Bad thread title.

And I love BHW...I get more useful info off there than DP. Probably 'cause they repost the good stuff off DP, so I don't have to there :)

We take pride in our affiliate support team.
If you can tell us who you are, I can look it up and see what happens.

Because it's bullshit. If it happened to Dating Gold it could happen to us or any other well established company. As a business owner this is serious and can't be swept under the rug. Obviously there are ways to go about it. Everybody goes about handling situations their own way. I'm not commenting on that. I'm just commenting on the fact that creating a title with PROGRAM NAME is SCAM and it's supposed to be a joke is not acceptable. If I ran GFY i'd ban anybody who did that.

cmon now this is gfy , every sponsor has been called a scam/shave/etc at some point lol its almost a badge of respect. I didnt call them a scam infact I said quite the opposite i was merely quoting the thread that i posted the reference to.

The point of this thread was 3 fold .. 1 to laugh 2 to make dg aware of the thread 3 in some magical land that this guy had a legit complaint he couldnt get it solved there.

Do you realize how many people don't read the threads and just look at the titles? Ask Eric how many people hit gfy today? Then look at how many people hit this thread. The difference between those two is how many people read a title about DG being scam and don't know it's a joke.

2 and 3 are cool and could have done with hey DG heads up for you. Or maybe even an email to them. AK is on here enough he's easy to reach. Of course that wouldn't have brought in the views this title did right?

1 i still don't see what was supposed to be funny? All you said is some funny replies. That's it. What was funny about the post?

alot worse things can happen than a joke thread posted about you.:2 cents:

guys guys guys.. everyone calm down...

bla bla bla "it's a joke thread"
there's nothing funny about slander and libel when you're the owner of the biz on the receiving end

bla bla bla "fucking around" smokey. keep spinning, doesn't matter.

it was on a "blackhat" forum , and he said it was "whitehat" traffic :)

people wanting to "spam" gfy with datinggold fake complaints from fake names..

among other things , sheesh it a corncopia of funny..

step away from the hate machine son, keep your hands in the air.

2. it's a blackhat world, we do not post there.

3. still trying to figure out who this guy is. he claimed to have made $6k/mo with us, and i still don't recall banning an affiliate with that kind of production.

If you can help us talk to this guy, we would ask what his affiliate ID is. I have a feeling that this guy is a hater or competitor.

If I don't have anything to look for, I am going to have this thread removed.

PS: Thanks Shap for standing up for us. :thumbsup

On that note I'm outta this lame thread. Smokey if you fuck with us again you'll be wiring your attorney a retainer to defend yourself and that's a promise.

i'll try and find out some info if i can, but my bet would be he broke your tos because i have never heard ANY legit problems about datinggold.com , only good ratio's :)

Like i said sorry if you didnt find the thread funny , no ill will was intended , feel free to yank the thread.

Yea I have to agree with Shap on this one, the title of this thread really should be changed. Saying you were just joking doesn't make a difference. No one can READ sarcasm through that title, seems like a pretty direct attack on DG and their reputation. Just my :2 cents:

if you make threats to me again , you will wish a lawyer could solve your problems.

I said i was sorry no ill will intended , dont make enemies out of potential friends.

This may be the stupidest thing I have ever seen you write imho

Smokey,

I gotta agree with what Alan, Shap and the others said.

We have all been pissing on the boards from time to time over the years but to put that in the title of a board thread / post is going a bit far.

I know you said you were joking but it's true, people do read the titles and might / would get a bad impression if they saw that and didn't read the whole the post..

I might of put "this person called DG a scam" or something like that....

Smokey and Alan - Shake virtual hands, let the blood cool off and move on....

In a virtual world - reputation can mean alot or everything smokey :)

peace

Todd

I think anyone who says dating gold is hard to get hold of is a liar. :2 cents: I only do around 2k in business with them a month and they have gone out of their way a lot to help me out. And before that when I was doing less business they were just as helpful.

no hate, just saying you nonchalantly post a lot of stuff and if this was about my company i wouldn't be jazzed.
