The truth about Openweb

So you're saying that us, as aggrieved ex-clients are stupid? Or maybe you just watching your mouth to avoid your mod status being revoked.

No, I'm saying that those who are whining and crying and wanting MyBB to coddle them are stupid.
MyBB is not your nanny and not your security company.
If you don't like it then go find another forum that will be your bitch.

Missing the point much... MyBB already coddles them... we want it to stop!

WE ARE SAYING, WE DON'T LIKE IT WHEN THIS PLACE CONTINUES TO ALLOW A SCAMMER TO ADVERTISE HERE, IT MAKES US FEEL UNEASY AND IT LACKS INTEGRITY AND MAKES US FEEL THIS PLACE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A BUCK AND NEXT WE WILL SEE ADS FOR DRUGS AND STUFF SOON...

That's all, cannot argue with you... you just don't want to see anything else except your way

I know that. However, you appear to be defending MyBB's actions with regard to OW partner content. I am calling you out on that (your defense), not on MyBB's actions.

Personally, I wouldn't publish adverts for OW. But that's not my call to make. I have a vested interest in the matter.
Someone else who has not been ripped off by them might feel differently.
702 advertises for SANRAL.
Everyday I see adverts I don't like for companies I hate.
I'm not going to go and boycott all of those advertisers or complain to them all.
Who has the time for that?

If anybody goes and Google's "OpenWeb" they are going to get a ton of feedback on the company, most of it negative.
There are plenty of threads here and stuff on HelloPeter to give anybody a fair impression of that company.
But the point is - it's up to the buyer to beware! CAVEAT EMPTOR!
I'm started to get the impression though that this is not so much about information, but rather about revenge.

Fair enough, but what do you do when what is supposed to be a trusted resource is promoting OW with (in my books at least) propaganda? I know you have no influence on this, but it's the way I see it.

So noted. You do whatever makes you happy.
If you don't feel safe here, then I don't expect you will be around much.

I would draw my own conclusions and then make a decision about whether or not I am going to stay here and / or use that company or not.

I think the difference here is Mybroadband prides itself as the leader in broadband news/ advice and all IT related. But then......

This is my view too. Again I don't expect Gary to do anything about it (he is afterall just a mod) but for f**ks sakes, he surely can speak on our behalf or even just drag Mr RPM out of whatever he is doing and bring this to his attention. Oh wait, its already been done.

rpm has already commented on this matter.
Don't expect anything different.
At least you have this thread to continue to use for your own criticisms of OW.
 
Maybe a change of approach is needed.

Would the ASA have jurisdiction over paid-for content on this site?

Thinking has started!

If it is published on any public site or in any form of media, then they have jurisdiction...

On what grounds?
