Attention Lensman, AMP or anyone at adult.com
 

Hey I know im a knowbody but I would like a request could you all ad a new section of board to name off proven scammers, and only allow the adult com staff to post or admins to post on there so you all wont get into trouble for slander. This shouldnt be too hard and would think your banners would make up more money on that section of board. These god damn scammers like tom davis are hurting alot of newbs and season webmasters and need to be stopped with a KNOWN SCAMMER ALERT from the biggest adult board *shrugs* MIGHT be a stupid idea dont know

TOM

:thumbsup

That's an excelllent idea.. fuckfaces like Rockstar can continue to scam people because most people aren't aware of them being a problem until AFTER the fact.

Its not a stupid idea at all.. I think a shitload of money is wasted by honest webbies on these scamming scumbags :(

yea, but it maybe stupid idea cause i dont know the legal aspect thats why i was asking lens and crew *shrugs* I may say fuck it and do it myself but i dont even have enough time to jerk off let alone take on something new :(

TOM

It sounds like a cool idea, but I would think there would be major legal entanglements.

Unless there is absolute proof ( and I dont know what that would constitute - then it could be seen as liable.)

Could it work? Who would be allowed to post there? Everyone? Then any little fuck could fabricate a story. What if the low-life-thief-scum-cheater posts that mr.A is a cheater there, and mr.A is actually the one cheated?

thats what i was sayingh only allow the admins of this board to post there, no one else or people that lens himself trust to post on the scammers board but dont open it to everyone only allow them to read it not post on it just :2 cents:

There is a section like that on one other wm board and there seem to be no probs with it (false accusations and shit)

Heh, you can't check now since Lens has prevented spiders accessing GFY, but a while ago, if you used the Way Back Machine on gofuckyourself.com, you'd see what GFY was before it was a message board. A big Go Fuck Yourself to people who were known scammers.

I reckon it's a good idea, but there'd have to be some sort of way to prove the person was cheating. If there was just a misunderstanding, and someone's name ends up there, it could quite easily fuck up their reputation.

yes i agree but 30 or so people complaing somone scammed them well there wouldnt really be a missunderstanding, Im not talking about the nickle and damn cock smokers im talking like idiots like tom davis all his new nicks etc... get a few people to go after the truth pay them YES PAY THEM and i would think any advertising that lens does on that page/board would make up for the pay he should give to the people that work their assess off findhing the truth *shrugs* thats why i was saying dont let others post but let trusted people without killer tempers do the posting ie the adultcom staff

TOM

Tom it's a great idea and something we need :thumbsup

A separate section of the board is cool, but a good thing imho would be one of those sticky threads on top of this forum (for people who jump in here directly) cause it would get more attention.

:thumbsup
anymore idea's?

nice idea you got there! you have my support dude :thumbsup

I know your thoughts are good at heart Tom but it just doesn't sound like a feasible or good idea. A couple of things come to mind.

What makes an admin or Adult.com staff an authority to the point where only they should be allowed to post someone is a scammer?

There obviously isn't much to verification, so what determines someone is a scammer? 1 bad deal with the wrong person, 10 bad deals with small webmasters? There isn't really a good determining figure.

I think that if someone is a scammer and there gets to be such a large consensus on the board of people who have been hurt and are reputable people, then a simple banning of an IP number does the trick in many cases and the outing of that person in a free discussion forum where everyone can participate.

This will work for most US, Canadian and UK or some coutries in Europe not mentioned. But for scammers in Russia, Bulgaria or where there is a degree of lawlessness, these guys operate behind many names. businesses and proxies so even a scam board won't stop them.

Just my thoughts.

Great idea Tom:)

btw the Wayback machine people blocked GFY lol too many queries I think.

:thumbsup

It's not slander if you only post facts involving you and the scammer.

Obviously you wouldn't want to include "he may have also done this to 15 others" when you couldn't possibly know if that's factual or not.

If your box is down at a host for 24 hours and they didn't respond to any of your emails, then it's not slander to let everyone know.

If a designer agrees on a 1 week deadline and they take 2 weeks, that is not slander.

You are merely reporting factual events that took place.

I don't think anybody thinks you're a nobody, Tom :)
I think it's a great idea, but it would definitely need some built-in safeguards. I'm sure it can be worked out, though.

Not plausable, it could bring up Liability issues.

Sure, Tom Davis is gonna sue GFY for calling him a scammer :)

need some sort of neighborhood watch for honest webmasters, like a community database or something maybe?

public message boards are just too messy for that type of thing to work right, unless heavily moderated imo.

Thanks for posting that link to Way Back Machine. On one of my mainstream sites I thought I'd lost a graphic while transferring hosting companies. Thanks to that I was able to retrieve it!

:thumbsup

That can all be solved with one word: Allegedly. Works for the media, no reason it can't be applied in this situation.

cool... :thumbsup

'cant ya see, this old boys feeling lonely'

hangovers suck ass.

'its only rock and roll, but i like it.'

I'm trying to set something like this up... but haven't had the time to get it going... not sure how to advertise it... if anyone is interested in helping please icq me... 158325978

Webmasters can also start their own blacklist, to warn other webmasters about known scammers. Not like a tgp blacklist, but a web page where you list what you know about certain others, to warn your fellow webmasters.

I've had a blacklist page up for years now, and have links to it on all my sites. I mostly have websites listed and some known hotlinkers, sites that I have caught autodownloading shit etc. Hey it's a start.

Just how ebay has the credit rating system that you can rate buyer and seller comments before buying from these people, there really should be a centralized place where adult service providers can list their wares and have this same concept available.

The buyer has reports to read ( few lines and relevant things).

The sellers have their buyer profiles as well. ( few lines and relevant things.)

There is a admin group that will resolve disputes / issues. All parties have to have proof of contracts, reciepts, order forms, etc to document thier claims to resilve correctly.

And...We can all have one less headache to deal with.

This and many more marketing ideas from the mind of Herb Kornfield for you only an ICQ away.......

I guess it was stupid idea after all, none of the adult staff said shit about it :( Ole well ill try and work on something if anyone else wants to give a hand let me know
