The adult business is wide open for anyone to pick up a camera or video and set up a pay site or free referral site - The end game being cash.
Introducing yourself to a board and coming over as a know-it-all and a big mouth to boot is fine by those of us who have been doing this sort of work for several years - We all know the likes of Aaron M, Sleazy, 12 clicks, Serge to name just a few who use arrogance to move themselves up the cash ladder.
Learning by mistakes is something all of us have had to do to get this far - But this guy clearly didn't listen - Moreover, he came back with a distinct lack of foresight and argued his case alarmingly incorrectly.
Using terms such as rape on your website shows an ignorance at the highest level - Surely an idiot would know that paycom, ccbill and others were turned over badly by visa a few years back and now HAVE to ensure they are only processing for sites that adhere to there strict guidelines?
In a way, I am a grandfather webmaster. Having been running pay sites since the halcyon days of the early nineties. That doesn't make me a know all. I am still learning my trade - But, over those years I have been plying my trade I have seen just about everything -
Yes - There is still a quick buck to be made in this business - And yes, there are still holes that need filling to stop those who attempt to bend the rules to make that quick buck.
There are only two ways to make cash in the adult biz -
1) As a referrer, you work your socks off to get as much traffic as possible, and you send to a group of sponsors who you know will be around long enough to pay you
2) You run a pay site and realise it is not the amount of joins you get on a daily basis that counts, but how many of those joins convert for 3-4-5-6 months or longer.
If we, as a group of webmasters, point out someone is doing something more than just a little bit dodgy, we owe it to our own futures to try and put that person right. If that person chooses not to listen, then that person could have a severe negative affect on all of our future earnings -
He could, at the outset, have an affect on government legislation causing His Tonyness to decree running all UK adult websites are now illegal -
Far fetched? Well, do a little research and you will see many idiots have caused the law to be changed -
25 years ago, my daughter was a seven year old girl, and had to spend a frightening weekend in the Police station having been raped by a nonce called Tim Banks from Ilfracombe - The only reason I add this to my thread is simple - Tim Banks was warned by the Police many times about his behaviour towards children - He didn't listen and eventually took things too far - Had he listened, my daughter, who is 32 in March, would, most probably be married and happy now - She isn't and never will be.
Pleasureville, too, chose to ignore all the warnings. If one of us here chose to inform the Police, or Paycom - Fine by me.
The law stands up for people like you and me. It works best, when we use it correctly. If we let one bad apple into the basket - It will not corrupt the rest in the slightest - But do nothing about it, then taint the rest it surely will do.
