While a small number of people did agree - generally speaking it was the wrong people - and without dragging them all into discussion you know who the big players are in gay niche mgp / tgp sites - THOSE are the people who should have been shutting that traffic down WE are the people responsible for making that traffic possible without that the thieves would not make the money doing what they do -
If I blacklist a submitter whos submitting excellent galleries with stolen content and they do next door to a mgp site thats moving 150k a day and submit 4 galleries a day there did I hurt myself or the submitter ? Myself, Why? Because while these guys/gals state that they dont/wont allow illegal content they turn a blind eye to it until they have to look.:coffee:

For the same reason Topbucks ignored me - If Topbucks a sponsor as big as they are ignores stolen content to line their own pockets why should I someone moving 600k a day in traffic be bothered with chasing after 2 submitters using stolen content when the sponsor making the money is ignoring it even tho I KNOW its the right thing to do -

It really is a double edged sword and I like everyone else am here to make money if my neighboring sites are going to make it and KNOW they are allowing someone to do something wrong and turn a blind eye -- they just profited from the thiefs activity and I feel thats wrong - But I am in business to make money just like my neighboring sites, allow my competition to get an edge while the sponsors and content producers look the other way WHY?

I used to try really hard to uphold my values and beliefs where right and wrong were concerned with site operations but the webmasters involved in this do not do the same.

We had a previous discussion of similar nature concerning a webmaster promoting bestiality on his adult mgp site - right / wrong /moral ehtics / Hmmm according to my personal beliefs it is WRONG to promote such content and I will not {because I cant stand looking at it on my sites} However if I had a tolerance to it -- my neighboring sites promote it why should they be cashing in and I am not.....

The point Im so desperately trying to make is
Rights Right and Wrongs Wrong - and the site operators running these sites lost track of that a long time ago - its now about traffic numbers and profits , if this were NOT true then those 2 submitters would not have been submitting to nearly every Gay niche mgp/tgp site there is and they were.

I cannot police Titans content or anyone elses alone as much as I would like to I cannot do it alone and the group as a whole will NOT band together and do the right thing when an issue arises -

When a sponsor is informed of such a situation no matter whos reporting it an investigation should begin and it should be dealt with not because you report it or minemee reports it because it was reported.

So why did I change my mind?

:coffee: Sponsors / Webmasters ignore a situation profiting them and their traffic numbers - then suddenly I do the RIGHT thing and stop the thief on my sites and guess what "I am the bastard for having done so" and its been said time and time again to me for having blacklisted stolen content.
So phuck it is my opinion now - If Titan wants to Play internet police and the other producers want to play internet police its their content let them play police - it really IS their job not the tgp/mgp site owners job -

Any time at all a sponsor has emailed me informing me a submitter is using stolen content I honor requests for deletion promptly and without hesitation, how many times has that happened in all the years Ive run sites?

I can count them on 1 hand !:coffee:
