Congrats man!

Congrats !!!

Maybe with Richard on board now, he'll explain to your why allowing customers to use a domain like this is bad:

http://naughtyconnect.co.za/
http://www.hornymatches.co.za/

All you've done since I mentioned it to you the first time is take it off your "client" page but the sites are still operating using your dating solution.

Hi Troll,

as i explained it in the another thread where you posted:

"Our terms and conditions and our agreement with partners clearly states that
they should not infringe trademarks or copyrights and that we will delete sites that do. We cannot check every single site for infringement and track down trademark registrations, ages of the domains or make judgments on similarities in domain names.
Any company that has registered a domain under a recognizable international trademark or copyrighted the domain name can write to us, and present their case. We will investigate and if the claim is reasonable we will first try and put the claimant in contact with the site owner in case he wishes to defend his right to use the domain or to reach an amicable solution.
In terms of the data privacy act we cannot divulge owners details to third parties unless it is ordered by the courts, however, we can contact the site owner, and request his permission to give his details to the claiming party. In the event no amicable solutions are found we will follow the directions of our legal team and delete the site from our servers should the domain name be found to be infringing on trademarks or copyrights."

Recently we had a partner creating two websites using domain names that were protected by copyright and we removed them right away.


If you still can't sleep overnight and want to talk to me about this feel free to call me or email me, I will be more than happy to go over this with you or with anyone else.

email me: moreno.aguiari AT datingfactory.com

I am not quite sure what you are trying to achieve but i will be more than happy to help you out and make feel yourself better about it.

Now if you want to continue this conversation please use the other thread and don't ruin this one.

Good job and congratulation Rochard!

Congrats Rochard!

Apparently you work for yet another asshole. :disgust

Not that everybody you have worked for has been an asshole....

you mean that rochard with his bunny ranch? congrats and have luck both :thumbsup

Unfortunately for you, I'm not known for trolling. I asked a legitimate question about those two sites and you called me a troll then. My question to you is, after me bringing this to your attention about a week ago, why are these sites still running on your platform?

I totally understand that it is not possible for you to know every single dating site out there but I am also pretty certain that you are more than familiar with 2 fairly large ones in the sector you work in.

Having said that, even if you weren't aware of naughtyconnect and hornymatches, you have been aware of them for the past week since I brought them to your attention. If the owners of those sites have given you permission to create the .co.za versions of their site because they were unable to monetise that particular market then all you need to do is say so. Calling me a troll for asking a legitimate question is highly unprofessional and not doing anything about the sites I brought to your attention seems unethical.

That did give me pause for thought until I saw the edit :)

some drama :)

I don't get it.

You don't get what exactly?

congrats on another job.

Rochard and his latest moves.

But good luck to him anyway.

funny i was just looking into contacting them about their offer until i read his response.

I called you a Troll for the simple fact that you jumped into this thread just to start a drama in a typical Troll style. You have the other thread to discuss this matter, you have my email but that wasn't enough,you have decided to ruin this thread.

The owner of the .com domains/websites has not contacted us regarding this issue but we have our legal team working on this matter and as soon as i will have an answer/update i will more than happy to let you know.

What i know from personal knowledge is that it's not easy to claim co.za trademark in South Africa if you are not a South African company.

links pulled.

I didn't realize Rochard was working for you Aaron... interesting.

Thread is not ruined... big congrats to Rochard! And yes, he's still also with YNOT Mail. See ya soon bro...

The reason why you were seen as trolling is:

You asked this question in another thread, and you got a perfectly reasonable response. Companies set policies to deal with the many possible sticky situations that can arise on the Internet, and one was clearly set to deal with the situation you are asking about. The resolution seems to require action from the interested parties, not just anybody posting on GFY. I'm betting those interested parties have not yet taken those steps.

Despite this fact, here we are in a different thread where there is an announcement about a new hire. You're choosing to again hijack the thread for the sake of drawing attention to yourself with the tired old GFY trick of "I will post negative things in all your threads until you bow down to my glory" ... but honestly, I think this approach just makes you look unprofessional.

It makes perfect sense that if there is a copyright concern, the INTERESTED PARTIES initiate the inquiry. You're trying to slam a company for not taking an immediate reaction based on some post some person made on a chat board. While it may be possible that the situation is as black and white as you seem to think it is with respect to these domain names, it's also possible that there's more to it than your exhaustive investigation has uncovered. THIS is why there are policies and procedures that need to be followed for situations like this that extend beyond simply being reactionary to bellyachers on GFY.

Congrats on the new gig!

Hope things work out for ya :thumbsup

God I love that picture...

Congrats on the new position

Congrats babe!

I will bring it to PHX so you can sign it for me.

Have you looked at the last thread posted? No? Then please read it before you tell me what did and did not transpire. If you did read it then you may also find it perfectly logical that I ask this question again since when first queried the OP did not give this reason straight away. He gave me some song and dance about querying his database etc. and then ended up calling me a troll. Uncalled for and highly unprofessional.

My intention isn't to "ruin" this thread, when in fact I have no opinion of Richard at all. He seems like a nice guy but I do not know him personally. The ONLY time I have interacted with him was when I signed up to use YNot Mail and he was pleasant to work with.

If I sold tennis shoes and some manufacturer tried to make me carry their brand calling it Nikee, I know what I'd do so please don't tell me that the people responsible for the brand should chase this up. How about showing a modicum of responsibility and ethics or is that notion totally alien to you?

As for wanting to draw attention to myself, please, I've been here since 2001 and have just over 1000 posts; I'm hardly trying to draw attention to myself. I'm pretty sure you've come across that type in your years on GFY but I'm not one of them.

I did see the thread, yes. Did you consider that you maybe did not get an immediate response because the person had to get the answer for you? There are new people being hired here, and this is a new company setup, all this is explained in the threads you're posting in here.

As for your Nikke example, apples and oranges. Domain names are not shoes. There are differences in scope and complexity. There are processes in place to determine what is infringing, and what is not. It makes sense for companies to use these processes instead of making unilateral and uninformed decisions.

I'm NOT saying this example I'm about to give is the case here, I just use it for the sake of example. What if the domain names you're upset about are in fact owned by the copyright holder? And they want to run another site for whatever reason, and list it under a different company name, again for whatever reason? What if the domains you are pointing at are owned by people who first used these words before the .com owners did, but just haven't pressed the issue? What if there are laws or rules in place regarding domain names from specific countries that have some bearing on this situation?

This isn't to say that any of the above things are likely or apply in this case... it's just an example to show why it makes SENSE for there to be a process that the stake holders need to go through when there is a dispute. And there IS such a process in this case that can be followed (without charge or expense, it seems, unlike when there are disputes related to another domain name extension we all know and don't love). This is also why it would be a really bad idea for a company to do what you're suggesting they SHOULD do, and react to a post on GFY made by someone who is not a stakeholder.

I have taken the time to read your replies; I'd appreciate you took the time to read mine.

So when you give an example, it's fine but mine are apples and oranges, interesting. Let's not dwell on this though; it's trivial in the grand scheme of things.

In my reply I did say that I understood that it may not be possible to verify every domain and even the fact that the original copyright holder may have allowed permission for the domains to be used so you rehashing those possibilities in a "maybe" scenario seem kind of weird.

Are you involved with this company? Are you a stakeholder? I'm just curious since if you were you'd know if any of those possibilities were true by simply sending an email to the owner(s) of the .co.za domains. It's not that hard to get to the bottom of what could possibly be a violation of someone's brand rights and as stakeholders I would have thought this would have been just as important to you as it is and should be for people using your platform legitimately.

Let's move away from that for just a moment. Why take the domains off your "client" page? Why not just leave them on there like you have the sites until your "process" was completed? Why would a veteran of this industry like yourself want the brand owners to contact him if they have a problem? Isn't it in your best interests to contact them since it was brought to your attention?

Note that I'm assuming you have a stake in this company and I would be wrong but the OP seems to be leaving this in your hands and you seem to have an intimate knowledge of the processes this company has. Forgive me if my assumption is incorrect.

congrats to the winners

Like I said, the OP didn't leave much room for consideration. He said he had to check the db and then came back calling me some weird name at which point it was kind of hard to take him seriously as you can imagine.

At no point was I trolling him, I asked a serious question and expected a serious yet believable answer; I got neither.

Thanks everyone for their support. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Phoenix!

Congrats to you dude.

Maybe that is why the "Asshole" hired Rochard.
Might be a good match

Good luck to all involved

Congrats Rochard :thumbsup

Congratz Buddy! see you soon!!

GFY is Rochard's JockStrap today.

:)

You did get an answer and explanation, offered to talk to you personally via email, in the other thread or phone but you continue with your act.

Here is a link to the other thread to refresh your memory:
https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1061713

You did NOT offer to talk to me via email or phone as you claim but even if you did, what has that got to do with the situation? What can you tell me via phone or email that you cannot state publicly?

Act? What act? I'm not the one who may or may not be catering to people who may or may not be infringing on brands. I don't need to "act"!

What is the deal with you having to be demeaning in your posts? I asked a question, you call me a troll. I ask the question again, you call me a troll AND insinuate that I'm putting on an act of some sort.

I know that you're probably use to people asking subversive questions in an attempt to derail you and perhaps cast doubt on the integrity of the company you work for (or yourself) but this was not my intention. You managed to do this all on your own when asked a simple question and you resorting to name calling while not giving an answer that made any practical sense.

I wish you success and I hope you don't get asked any really difficult questions after seeing how well you handled mine.

Rochard is obviously a friend, and works with us at YNOT too... and I know the people you're attacking well, and know that you're dead wrong on all you are insinuating here. Perhaps this gives you some insight why I find it unfortunate that you're all over Rochard's thread. That said, if you're determined to see the things the way you seem determined to see, not sure any information anyone could give you here would change that.

As for the OP, I know him very well too, absolutely, and can definitely understand why he may not be interested in going back and forth all day long on GFY with you. Especially considering your questions were answered with detail, and that apparently did nothing to change your course here.

And yes... your example was apples and oranges because it compared domain names to shoes. Mine was not apples and oranges because it related specifically to domain names.

Speaking of assholes and trolls...

So far, so good. :thumbsup
