Actually, there is absolutely NO SPYWARE on thegreenrabbit.ca nor was there ever.

The admins are defamining the site. The guy was just trying to warn fellow ebay buyers that there's a fraudelent scam going on for car buyers. Peace.

You should not make these hurtful and hate inspiring claims without proof. This is both wrong and illegal, it's called slander.

There's a difference between an opinion and a hurtful and slandering claim.

You can say it sucks to any end. But, you can't spread lies.

Anyone who spreads spyware or spam should be shot on sight. We need to have public quartering of these idiots.

Democrat, republican, we can't agree on many things... but i think public execution (or at least humiliation) of spammers is one I think we would all enjoy.

And I agree, which is why I'm so offended at these irresponable remarks.

All you have to do is google your website and look at what comes up. I got to page 4 without seeing a single mention of your site that wasn't either
A)absolutely dripping in vitriol from the BB users who you're spamming
B)you using random, innaporopriate places to "advertise" your site
C)you asking how to get people to stop complaining about the spyware on your site.

Considering the tremendous amount of contempt apparent in every response I could find to your site, both here and on other forums, you must be offended 24/7. Has it not occurred to you that people detest what you're doing?

This is exactly what happened before. See THIS Thread.

jstalin nospyware, drunk7daysaweek, stilldrunk all have the same IP address associated with them. Based on the style of posting from all four of these userids, it is apparent that it is the same person posting. I am unsure how you are getting around the ban function (I thought it was setup to ban based on user name and IP, but I may be wrong). but you are in violation of our forum guidelines. specifically:

Rule #5: Do not impersonate other people or use fake aliases. Only one userid per person allowed.

You have not made any attempt to have your previous userids 'unbanned,' despite my asking you to email me to discuss this.

You are a troll. You want some free advertising for your website. My spyware checker went full tilt when I clicked on the link to your website. That's enough proof for me to consider your site full of spyware. I don't care if you consider it to be just pop-ups, it is spyware in the general sense - it is somewhere I chose not to go.

There is nothing illegal going on in this forum - we are not slandering anything of you or yours, just pointing out facts. Your threads CAN and may be considered illegal - you are disrupting these forums and you are bypassing the ban filters.

As this forums moderator, part of my responsibility is to prevent spam from spreading here. It is also my responsibilty to stop people who are disruptive. AT the very least, jstalin, nospyware...et al: you are being very disruptive here. We do not wish to read the things that are posted on your website. So stop pressing the issue.

All of the above users (jstalin, nospyware, drunk7daysaweek, stilldrunk) are currently banned. Creating yet another userid is NOT the proper way to getting unbanned. If you wish to continue your foolish postings, more action will be taken against you.

Regards,
-Z-man, OT Forum moderator
