My remark about double-standards (and yes, it's been proven in the other thread)
|
What was proven in the other thread?! Nothing was proven there Michael, things were assumed there. I don't allow hotlinkers on my site. End of story. You made a remark on that other thread that 'cheap scripts don't allow content on a different domain'... That's most likely why they're cheap. I have enough people that run more than one website with more than one domain that run their content off of one central server. Don't ask me the reason, I don't know, but my script didn't allow content on a different domain 'till I got too many questions about it.
The procedure is simply: if you're hotlinked write me. And I'll trace down ALL information on the hotlinker and I'll make sure the guy will not be posted on my site again. Have your content stolen by someone: write me. Again, I'll trace down all info and blacklist the offender. But the report HAS to come from the party that's hotlinked or stolen from, 'cause there's no way in the world for me to know if there isn't any kind of deal going.
I know for a fact that there were some free hosts out there that didn't care the least for hotlinking. For about a year ago the term 'stockholdersvalue' could make a lot of money. Show that you use bandwidth and stockholders will assume you're making a lot of money. There we go again with "assume"...
You're "assuming" I have double standards based on what is "assumed" in another thread. Get your facts straight before you base an opinion on 'em. I have a very clear, very easy standard. Nothing complicated about it. I too have to assume things sometimes, there's just no way around it. But I don't make public posts about people based on assumptions... Simply 'cause I assume that's not the smartest thing to do...
