How Low Will You Go For A Comment On Your Bootcamp Website?

I've just been contacted by a member to say he approved that comment attacking WA as all lies and a scam, you know the one - by a person talking about multiple overdosing

**except this time it named two WA members falsely accusing them of being bullies**

Many of you will not know the full story, but whatever your personal feelings, the fact remains that no WA member should be approving comments on their site that make false claims and accusations about other members.

The full story would actually shock some of you and make you sad to think you helped the person carrying out these attacks right now. But without going into further detail, those bootcampers who are desperate for an 'organic' comment, I suggest you do the decent thing and show a scrap of integrity by not approving that comment and not promoting lies about your fellow members, because now YOU are the ones doing it.

I just noticed your profile pic and i could not figure it out wether the cat is climbing up the stairs of down the stairs

lol

:D yep, it's a mystery, some see it one way and some see it another, which way comes first to you?

Descending.

No its ascending

Have a look again, you are wrong.

I think what the mind actually sees is the important thing, it's interesting to notice what you actually see first time...

funnily enough even though if I think of it I can see it both ways, I always see it going up first, just natural way my brain sees it

sounds like I'm arguing for free interpretation of whatever is written, not quite, this just happens to be an optical illusion so both are possible

I couldnt decide the first time but when I came to your area this time I glanced and it looked clearly climbing. Again I look and its a guess again. :) I love the thought processes of my studying the pic. Is its back end higher to be coming down the steps ? Lol!

lol me too, I love that our brain gets a little exercise :)

Going down the stairs. You have to look at the edges of the stairs to really tell.

Thank you, I think we should not help any bullies

I deleted mine. I don't reply to negative comments that are based on lies and come from someone who is off her meds and uses a bogus email address and domain name.

thanks Robert, the weird thing for me is a member I don't know contacted me to say he'd received a comment that was insulting two members here, and then contacted me again to say he'd approved it! What a wind up. It's not like the duplicate content being spammed to all the WA sites is going to help him either!

What member in their right mind would approve a comment on their website that is insulting two WA members. It doesn't matter if the insults were true or not, no normal person in my opinion would do something so mean. How would they like it if someone did that to them if one of those names was theirs?

This is just wrong. How is that comment going to benefit your site in any way?

Yes, duplicate for starters, but when someone reads a long rant of lies they do stick in the subconscious. Bootcampers should go for good comments and carry the sort of integrity across their site that they say will be found at WA

well said

Thanks Nick.

Well said Mary, I received the message but I just marked it as spam and deleted it. I wasn't getting involved in something I knew nothing about and I most certainly did not know the full story and nor do I want to either.

You are right though in that they are being silly by approving it as they are now carrying it on and promoting lies about others.

Well done, thank you. You are correct, they are totally shooting themselves in the foot, and portray quite a bit of ruthlessness as their business model.

Hi, Mary,

I received the similar comment, but have deleted it since names are mentioned.



Well done, thank you. Shows a lot of integrity on your part.

How about adding the text of the comment here? Omit the names of the two people mentioned, and let Kyle deal with the person who post such comments. This is also about WA and they should do something. I have seen it earlier when somebody blogged about the same issue. This person will not stop, and this is a WA member.

Here is a pic of how it starts, same one as been on the dashboard all week, she makes a lot of false claims, I did not show all of them as it was so untrue but when people read something it goes in, and if you fling enough mud it sticks...

Read the short clip. IF that was true, why am I still hear. I certainly haven't "made a HEAP of money for THE COMPANY" (emphasis added). Definitely totally lies. They need to get a life.

Definitely on your side, Mary.

Thanks Wayne, there was no truth at all in the long rambling rant, and it got worse after that short clip. I hope here at WA we can get people to aim higher than scratching at spam comments like this to earn a dollar though!

United we stand and divide we fall !!!!

I suggest people grow up and put your energies to positive use!!!

Paul

there is some truth in that Paul, this is yet more drama - but there is also an integrity issue and it may be easier to see if people imagine their names being added to the spam comment that members here are approving

paulgoodwin cyberbully at WA - does that sit ok with you then? Should the bootcampers go ahead and approve that on google?

Hi Mary

On contrary I believe we should challenge these kind of individuals who leave these type of comments, to establish that what they are accusing WA of simple isn't true.

I am certainly not desperate for comments on my site but if someone decides to attack WA or Kyle and Carson's integrity then I am prepared to stand against these attacks.

Are you saying we should just ignore this type of behavior?

It is not about being low as you say but the willingness to expose their false accusations.

That is just my personal take on this situation but I would love to know what Kyle and Carson think and how they would advise to handle this kind of situation.

Kind regards,
Kamil

the person has now added two members' names to the bottom of that long comment, if it was your name being circulated on google do you still think people should be dragging your name all over the internet because of a psycho making false accusations

btw we know who it is, this is not an ordinary person off the street making a genuine enquiry, the multiple overdose talk should give you some hint as to what you are dealing with there

If the comment is defamatory to individuals then perpetuating it is condoning slander and libel.

yes, well said Marion. There are false accusations about cyberbullying, and they can be proved wrong.

The true cyberbully is the one who is spreading these lies.

I'm not sure about all these details but there were no names mentioned on my comment, just an attack on WA and an accusation that WA is full of lies.

Maybe this individual had a bad experience or they trying to attack their competition. I really don't know the details Mary, sorry.

Would it help to share the comment they left on my site here?
I discussed this with Craig recently as well.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention Mary.

In my case the comment was not defamatory to any specific individual so I am definitely not condoning this, quite the opposite, I have stood up for WA on behalf of Kyle, Carson and the WA community.

This person's comments seem to be getting progressively longer. People receiving comments before you an me received shorter versions than we did. Those after us received longer ones.

See it in my comment above, Mary added it, just names are made invisible. This is the matter for Kyle in any case as this is more than a personal attack. Some of the statements about WA just make no sense we all know this.

well said Jovo, it is not against two people, it is against everything, so false, it does demonstrate the attacking nature of the person though, something I had been seeing for 3 months already inside WA

yes, the names were added later, but the person who contacted me actually said the comment was insulting two members...and then contacted again to say he approved it...ouch!

the person in question has a false belief of reality, thinks people hit a spam button to lock her out but that is not true, she had been attacking people solid from the day she came in, playing multiple strategies involving others and false accounts and you name it, and eventually had to get locked out by Kyle, who gave her every chance and actually lost a lot of other members while giving her a chance

in fact it goes way deeper than that, see the way this person could track down your website - well that's a glimpse what the person has been doing and is capable of

Wow! How someone will put so much negative energy into this.
Instead of just moving on or listening to Kyle in the first place.
We have all made mistakes but to take it this far! :o
Had no idea abut this info when I accepted and replied to the comment on my website.

Thanks again for clearing this up Mary.
I read your attachment and see the comment is much longer than mine was but it's a template that has evolved it seems like Craig has mentioned.

Well, off to work and look out for the trolls! :D

And thanks for the song you mentioned in a blog some time back on the dashboard, Goin By the Book, I love the music - Jay was talking about Megadeth to get pumped up before a webinar but I love the guitar on this song better, though I'll hold out a little more optimism than the words in the song suggest :)
