Well said, Goatie!

When all is said and done, you don't get much for a pound today.

We could redeem our karma and improve the rankings in one fell swoop. Sounds fine to me! :wink:

I'm sorry not to play ball, but if this person has dishonestly entered duplicate testimonials on a car hire and a holiday rental site, then I am not interested in advertising there, even if it is only £1.
Sorry CIS, but I have my standards. I'm out.

I'm inclined to agree Catherine - Goatie, had you forgotten the little matter of Jason's principles? :(

Look guys, guyesses

Live and let live. As Ros has pointed out, how are we to know those rave reviews weren't both for the rentals and the cars? It's just our suspicious minds.

Benefit of the doubt etc. Innocent unless proved guilty. Where would Richard Branson be now without a little bending of the rules?*

Goatie

(and anyway, I want to get full value from my quid which is languishing in some PayPal pergatory)

What I didn't realise, and I'm all ears to learn more, is that using templates went as far as duplicating identical fake testimonials on more than one site (one cars, one holiday rentals). Goatie
So MG, you're equivocating a bit now...(right word? Dunno, sounds good though!)

in respect of what Goatie, my brain winds down at about this time of night! :D

Sorry but I'd rather put my pound toward the lottery draw!
Didn't like the tone of CIS's first posting which totally put me off.!

Hello All,

Now Im really confused[no even more than normal]

This chap that mountain was on about originally,about is he the same one who had a go back[alledgedly]

I stuck up for mountain just because this chap came on so strong[not because i sussed the connection]if there is one.

Then people were inferring there was a connection.

Now there not

We all added our tuppence worth.
Then Mountain said he agreed with me[which isnt wise as I was being a bit sarky then]

Then Mountain said he might have been hasty and give the lad a chance.[or was it a bit of irony]
[sarcasm & Irony arent a good combination]

So that was fair enough,

then it wasnt,

Now it is??????

Now I feel better isnt that clearer now......

Can someone please tell me what I think.... :?: :? :roll:

Ros,

A summary!

Goat questioned the ethics of a site which duplicates testimonials thereby misleading prospective guests as well as prospective advertisers.

Owner of site got back at him in an underhand manner.

Was rumbled!

Feeling guilty, due to public manner of said kneecapping, Goat (because he is a kindly sort) suggested that we could all help each other out.

However

question of duplicated testimonials, dodgy customer care values, tone of reply to Goat etc etc still remains.

Hmmmm, what are we to do?

Sling him the name of that USA forum you were on, Goat and he can see if they're interested instead. We've helped him then, but don't need to worry about all the question marks we still have.

Karma is restored
Quid's still in pocket
All is right with the world again! :)

Thanks for that Sunny, :D

That sort of made sense,I think thats what I thought had happened,mind you if it made sense to me its not a good sign :roll:

So do you think weve seen him off then?

Dont think it helped that half way through goat was changing names and colours,bizarre[unless hes having a mid-life-wotsit] :wink: :D

Can I be in your world[especially if it always sunny] :D
