Issue # 201 (07/21/2003)

Net Economics & Ethics

Looking inward at the effects of the Internet on the Economy, as well as tackling some issues related to security, fraud, theft, and generally "being bad" online...

Forum Watch
By now, you've noticed that we've done away with the various forum domains that used to make up JimWorld (searchengineforums.com, gethighforums.com, jimworldlounge.com, and web-programming.com). After hearing all of the feedback and ideas from the membership, I decided to move everything under one domain (jimworld.com) and put all of the various forums onto one master page. This makes for a long page, but hopefully, everything will be easier to find and get to now. Feel free to offer more suggestions. I take EVERYTHING seriously.

On a management note, I realized early on in the process of administering JimWorld that it was a task more daunting than I ever imagined. To this end, I've made my first "executive decision," electing to bring someone on board as a full-time administrator of the forums -- someone to help with the day-to-day clean up, maintenance, and the hundreds of "issues" that pop up each day.

Drumroll please...

Your new forum administrator is Jennifer Laycock (thejenn).

Jenn has been absolutely instrumental in the upkeep of these forums since I took them over 6 months ago. She's been by my side every step of the way, offering advice, doing extra clean up, offering quality suggestions, and doing a lot of the grunt work for me. Without her assistance, and constant badgering, we wouldn't have gotten to even this point, and we would have absolutely no chance at all of moving forward. Thanks Jenn, for all you've done, and for diving in headfirst to take on the very daunting task that lies ahead.

Thank you for your review, I will benefit from your suggestions. I have one
question though. You said "In the source, you really need a meta description
for each page just as you do with any web site." How do I do this with blogger?

This "Scumbag of the Week" article is irresponsible. I had not trouble at all in receiving the following response from SpamArrest:

"Hi James,

Thank you for your email.

James, what you see there is absolutely wrong and is done to misguide our users and our new customers from Spam Arrest. We have over 1.5 million customers with us including you. You have been with us for a very long time, James. You can check with any of your contacts whether they have received any junk emails from us. We never do such a thing and its completely against our ethics! We hate spam as much as you do and so, along with stopping it, we make sure that none of our customer's emails are noted as spam. We warn our customers from sending bulk emails about the fact that their contacts might misunderstand their bulk emails as spam and will turn against them and Spam Arrest. A company following only such healthy practices can never do such a thing like spamming. What we value the most is our customer's trust and we will make all efforts to retain that in the best way possible. We never admit your personal information to any third party under whatsoever circumstances. You will find a whole lot of misleading things like this in Internet, James. We have friends and foes like anyone else in this planet.

I hope you will understand us the best way possible, James. Please do let me know if you need any further clarifications regarding this.

Best Regards,
Peter
Technical Support Specialist
Spam Arrest"

In the 3 years that I have used SpamArrest, I personally have never received one complaint from anyone that has been 'spammed' from any theoretical 'spam list' that SpamArrest may have created. I think that their statement above makes it clear that they would not do this.

I behooves you to publish a retraction.

Jim Bolton
