    Hi John yeah I saw he is online and if I was a Mod I would take him out, but the Mods do a great job here under very difficult conditions

    I have full confidence that this situation will be addressed in an appropriate and correct manner :)



    Re protection it never stops does it :eek:

    Well at my directory I have a small mod that blocks 99% of automated browsing and scrapping, I know its very effective because I regularly check logs and find no auto scrapping bots.

    there are a ton of other sites which do this i hardly see it as a big deal.

    Just report the site to google and they'll close the adsense account.

    Spend more time worrying about your own site and less time on what other people are doing.

    While i fully respect people looking out for themselves and others who play the game properly, are some of you not in danger of becoming obsessed with looking out for things.

    Im not knocking anyone or saying that you shouldn't but personally i always ask myself if my time can be better spent, you know yourselves that there is always something to do on your directories or some promotion you can be doing.

    Seriously guys, most of you are taking your directories to higher heights anyway, i know it pisses you off when certain things happen, but just remain professional and google swallows these shady ones up anyway.

    The badness will always be there, dont let it poison your day, keep progressing.

    100% agree but when they crop up in your face they need swatting out:cool:

    Definitely has not and will not spoil any of our work/or day, but many people help each other on this forum and I think its worth 5 minutes time, to out these rogues and try and keep some order especially if you can because of 5 minutes action, may just help one of the fellow members from getting scammed

    That in itself is worthwhile, as this world is not, regardless of how many feel it is not always SELF SELF SELF there is a time and place when you have to consider that a small action may hopefully help someone else too :cool:

    A good few points, things like this haven't happend to me "yet" and anytime it may it will most likely get my back up too, i guess if your wanting to inform others then thats obviously positive and keeps peoples eyes open.
