I'd been there a long time and caused no trouble at all. I couldn't really care less whether or not I'm officially allowed to participate; if I wish to do I don't believe they'd be able to identify me. That's by the bye, the more interesting thing is the upset my comment seems to have had. If everything was kosher not an eyebrow would have been raised I'm sure. I remember Giant being bought by Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2004/dec04/12-16GIANTPR.mspx There was no Malwarebytes back then. Out of nowhere they came, as if by magic! :) There is *still* no snail-mail postal address or contact telephone number (that I can find) - essential attributes, I've been advised, if a business seeks total acceptance. http://www.malwarebytes.org/about.php I have read all about the partnership with Sunbelt btw. http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Press/Releases/?id=346 ** Another item which attracted my interest some long time ago was the purchase procedure: "This order process is conducted by our online reseller cleverbridge AG. Payment processing and order fulfillment are done by cleverbridge AG, Brabanter Str. 2-4, 50674 Cologne, Germany." Why? Because they are charging VAT at 19% instead of the 17.5% applicable in the UK. https://store.malwarebytes.org/342/?scope=checkout&cart=29945 Tell me why they chose to use a German operation when currently based in San Jose, CA., and when Malwarebytes is an Illinois corporation. OK - it's an Internet company. I know! Forget that. ;-) -- Dave - I *am* aware of what info I give away: http://browserreport.com/

He didn't create a bogus account. He used a well known nickname that he's used before, and an identifiable email account. Ya'll are just being hard cases so you can get back at Dave for questioning whether or not malwarebytes has any suspicious activity on computers. > And BD, just so you know, using another email address for yet another > account signup isn't going to keep you hidden for long.

For a security business, ya'll seem a bit paranoid at the influence Dave has by asking questions. -- Jenn (from Oklahoma) http://pqlr.org/bbs/

Again, it's exaggerating what he did. Ya'll want to exact a *punishment* on Dave because ya'll didn't like him asking questions. If a buddy of the core group did something similar, there would be no punishment. Ya'll want him to show some sort of remorse and humility and apologize all over the place and beg forgiveness so you can see that he has taken his punishment like a real man. It's a control issue... you can't control him asking questions, but you can *punish* him and hold him to a higher standard than ya'll would anyone else. That's what it's all about because he obviously isn't a threat to the group itself in any way and has no intentions of hurting anyone there. It's not professional behavior, imo. > If anything, it further justifies the initial ban that was set on his > account. No it doesn't. The ban was imposed arbitrarily w/o any warning. > Further, He wouldn't have to tell me or anyone else he did this.

Ie: > he would be caught eventually. uh huh .... it's clearly a silly ban and unnecessary.... but, hey ... if Malwarebytes admins want to be seen as hard cases going after someone who simply asks questions and posts a harmless image, they have that right to look like total hard cases. It doesn't make me want to join the forum, myself. > Clearly you know little about the options available to someone, should > they wish to use them. > So enlighten me ... I'm fairly sure I understand bans and how they should be used, so you can skip that tutorial. -- Jenn (from Oklahoma) http://pqlr.org/bbs/

The admins are also entitled to do as they please. I just does not show a professional response to the supposed infractions ya'll say Dave is guilty of... Hey ... we've had this discussion before about me being a sysop for MSN. Dave is not dangerous, isn't a pornographer, and isn't a pedofile and really is no danger to hack anyones pc, either. Any ban applied to someone who isn't a thread should be temporary until issues can be cleared up. For that matter, it should have been discussed within the thread you pointed me to on SE, which it wasn't. Yeah.. it's just my opinion, but my opinion is based on experience dealing with the scum on the internet and banning them, instead of wasting time banning people who ask questions that are harmless, yet irritating to the admin there. > Secondly, He didn't have to tell me anything about creating a new user > account.

Not to mention, highly incorrect. You do > not have anonymity on the internet, you have a false sense of it instead. Want to bet? I was a sysop for many years and the only people who knew I was a female were the other sysops I worked with. Everyone else thought I was a man. > The fact he had to register under another name because the admins didn't > want him having an account there is actually a form of digital criminal > tresspass. He shouldn't have to re-register... ya'll are treating him like he is dangerous so someone on the malwarebytes forum. That's just overkill, imo. -- Jenn (from Oklahoma) http://pqlr.org/bbs/ |
