William,
I used to think the same thing, but now I see it differently.
As far as the ads on the site, well, I have only see Adsense ads. Since it is hard to filter out the scammers that are using Google to advertise, it's not really their fault. And to suggest they do not display them at all is not very realistic seeing how someone has to pay for the hosting and bandwidth otherwise there would be no website at all.
As for threads disappearing and certain posters being banned, well, that is most likely due to the fact that scams.com is a USA site, hosted on American servers. Problem is, the USA is run by villains (lawyers) and other evils which stop us from speaking the truth and speaking our minds. You see, scams.com would be sued out of existence if they let everyone post just anything about scammer. Many scammers have money and slimy lawyers on their side so the good guys lose because the good guys cannot afford to spend their lives in the courts as this costs a lot of money, as I'm sure you realize. Just ask MaaMaw what it is like to own a scams forum. It probably isn't all roses. In fact, I'm sure it's 90% a real hassle and hardly worth the effort.
Does this suck? Well, yes. It sucks big time. But there is nothing we can do because we are an extremely litigious society and as such we have also lost out ability to revolt effectively and violently. So until something is done about it, we are at the mercy of evil lawyers as well as other evils.
Sorry, but it's the truth.
Welcome to the American nightmare. Sleep tight.
^_^

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
