Cpapri![]() Quote | Reply | | Terms of use legally binding posted on: 8/21/2005 4:03:13 PM I just wonderif anyone has considered the fact that the posted terms of use on the ghostchatter site are legally binding. The terms do not state that people can be randomly banned at the moderators whim. In fact it specifically states that accounts are only banned if you are found to be a scammer, pedifile etc... I signed up for Ghostchatter tonight just to see for myself what all the hubbub was about and was banned within 30 mis with no explination. I personally have taken a screen shot of the current terms and saved it to my computer. The terms also do not state that they can be canged at any time without any notice. Terms of use are the same as a contract under Pennsylvania Law, and Guess What, She and I both live in PA. If people really want to have her site removed legally, people need to start filing complaints with the state of PA. If such were done and the state found that she was violating a contract on her site, a court order for the site to be shut down, and banning her from ever opening another one of that type can be issued. Right now I am giving the benifit of the doubt (what can I say I'm a nice person) and sent her an e-mail explaining that I was banned and maybe it was a mis-understanding as I had not broken any posted rules on the site. We'll see if she ever answers me. Lee |

Terms of use legally binding
replied on: 8/23/2005 1:17:42 PM Well, I got an e-mail back about this.... "Hello Cpapri Our email was not working as we just changed servers and we never received your ban msg. We were informed you did write to us so we are responding to you without knowing what you stated in the email to us. You entered the chat and completed your profile. Someone then informed us you were a noted spammer on another site. In addition, later we found out that you entered this room only to start trouble in here by your choice of words. In regards to your statement of "Terms of use legally binding", guess you couldn't read the terms of service upon registration that clearly says we are allowed and DO remove anyone considered objectionable OR violates the terms of use for this site. In case you missed it... "This chat room is a privately funded and moderated service. Hosts may, at will and without notice, remove or ban participants that are deemed objectionable or violate the rules and terms of use." Perhaps you should brush up on your reading skills to miss a detail like that before you go spouting out what you THINK you've read. Observation and comprehending are essential skills for anything in life and especially an investigator as you claim to be. Genesta" My relpy was this.... "I am sorry to inform you that your information is incorrect, I have never spammed any site by any means. I joined your site out of curiosity, because unlike some people I do not believe everything I hear about people, good or bad. Had I had a good experience at your site, I would have posted that instead. Of course you will have to proove that I was 'objectionable' as a spammer, and proove that I did spam another site. I will be sure to file my complaint. I honestly thought no one coul dbe as bad as the posts I read on strange happenings. I also only came upon those posts by chance, as you can easily find out I only joined the site 3 days ago, having known nothing of that site, or yours before then. There is still time to make good face on this issue though, afterall you can ask whoever told you I am a spammer to provide some kind of proof. I can assure you I did not join your site to cause any trouble, and had I not been banned, I would have been a model member. Unlike some, I am not immature enough to join a site just to spite anyone. Thank you for your time. I will be sure to share my information on this issue with the fellow members of strange happenings, so that if you do decide to handle things in a more professional manner, they will see your not as bad as they think. Lee" Guess all I can say is I've given plenty of room for opportunity, we'll see what happens. Lee |

replied on: 8/23/2005 4:02:53 PM I live in iowa but i'll still try to file a complaint. I registered and it took me to the chat after i logged in and i had to run and give the phone to my mom, i was gone maybe 10-15 seconds and it said i was banned. I just think she's an insecure b*tch and has to ban people and put them down, for her to feel high and mighty. I honestly don't think I'll ever go back to her site again anyways so screw her. |

replied on: 8/23/2005 6:41:29 PM It never seizes to freaking amaze me how the sick cow always takes that much time to write such a lengthy letter just for the sake of having the opportunity to further be a bitch by arguing the reason people are banned! |

replied on: 8/25/2005 10:43:00 AM I got a response from Genesta and here it is... "Hi Lee, Please feel free to file whatever complaints you think are necessary with whomever you wish, though this statement makes no sense to us. The fact of the matter is that our website is privately funded and run. You feel we have thus far not responded in a "professional manner", but this statement implies that somehow our website is a business or driven by profit. It is not, it is soley a hobby website that has grown immensely, we make no money off it. And in discussing professionalism, is it typically "professional" of a website to dedicate an entire forum on their board to publicly slander and threaten someone they've had a falling out with? Something to think about. Again, our terms of use state: "This chat room is a privately funded and moderated service. Hosts may, at will and without notice, remove or ban participants that are deemed objectionable or violate the rules and terms of use." What this means is that the hosts may, at their disgression, remove anybody they feel does not belong in the chat room. The moderators feel that someone who belongs to a message board that has threatened us bodily harm in the past is considered objectionable. You state you joined Ghostchatter out of curiousity regarding the treatment of others who seem devoted to hatred and malignancy towards us. Therefore you admit your motivation to join was driven not by interest in the subject matter, but in some way, at the very least, to "prove" to yourself the opinions of the individual who formed that site. Sorry, but we have had FAR too many problems with members of "Stange Happenings" come in and disrupt ours intentionally just for the heck of it, and I'm sure if you check out some of the posts on their message board you will clearly see they attempt to join under different names just to harrass. You may find it interesting that the founder of that group created the site, selected his search engine keywords, and subject matter with the sole objective to threaten, malign and libel our organization. You might also find it interesting that unlike said individual, we maintain no such "attack" threads against any other group. A considerable amount of time (it will be two years come December) has passed since the individual responsible for the site you mentioned was removed from our group due to falsifying information, spamming, and attempting to disrupt proceedings. Perhaps you should question his motivation first. Perhaps you should also examine said site's founder and his membership for denial of your access because of their continuing attacks. Due to such activity from that site we have a strict policy implemented where access is and will be denied to the use of our sites by his members. Quite frankly, we don't CARE how the members of "Strange Happenings" view us, as we have already had our run-ins with many of them and remember, there are two sides to every story. Of course, they, as well as yourself, are entitled to whatever opinions they may form, but we also have and maintain the capacity to remove guests who fail to adhere to the conduct requirements of our site. Believe them if you wish, register complaints on other websites, but at the end of the day the fact remains that our website has continuously grown in the 3.5 years we've run a chat room and is entirely funded by us. It is akin to coming into somebody's home for a party, at any time the host(ess) can ask that person to leave, the same with the chat room. Would you permit any guests in your home who behaved in a similar fashion, judging on some of the posts admitted in that group stating they come in just to harrass? Probably not. We will continue to exercise our right to exclude people of questionable judgement, behavior and those who show an inability to follow very simple rules that are established to maintain the safety, privacy and support of our membership. If you find it the need to post this email and CONSULT the members there about what you should do, then clearly your decision has already been made. We're not interested in creating disruption on that board, though others there continue to find the need to discuss us. The reason we are giving you this choice is because you sound like someone who is genuinely interested in paranormal discussion, unlike most of the members of that group who are only there to complain about us and then dissapear. Don't take my word for it, look for yourself and see. Should you publicly withdraw from "Strange Happenings", you are more than welcome to return to our chat room, provided you abide by our rules. The choice is yours. Either way, good luck with your group. Genesta" Did anyone notice the fact that in this e-mail she says nothing about my being an accused spammer? Instead she directly stated that I was banned for being a member here. OOPS, she coun't stick to her story. I offered to not post in this thread of the forum, but I refuse to give up my right to enjoy the other boards here, and she flat out refused that. Well, tough, I gave her every opportunity to be understandably human. It's like telling me I can't go to my friend Nickie's house if I'm freinds with her ex. How purely teenage. I've been wondering why she makes people fill out a profile BEFORE she bans them. Obviously if the person signing up is trouble, she should be able to ban them without the additional information in the profile. The access IP address should be enough. I realized that people make good money by 'harvesting' e-mails in pretty much the same fasion and selling them to mass-emailers (spammers). Well, I have already filed a complaint asking the FCC to look into it, I think it's funny today I got a ton of spam in my e-mail that has never been spammed before, after providing my e-mail to her site just a few days ago. If you have the same problem or concerns you can file at http://www.consumer.gov/sentinel/. If she already breaks her terms by banning members of competing websites, (not for being online pervs, spammers ect..even if she tells you that's why she banned you.)what's to stop her from breaking her terms regarding privacy? |

replied on: 8/25/2005 11:20:33 AM quote: Whereabout on the site that you mention here can we file a complaint? I think she really needs to be shut down. I went to her site purely to find out for myself if she was as bad as they say she is, and got totally mistreated and banned for my registering here before going there as well...though I had no bad intentions in going to her site. As you stated in your notes here, you went to give her the benefit of a doubt as well. She just wants to give shit to anyone that happens to also be registered here, and makes up her own paranoid reasons for banning them. Anyway, let me know how/where on that site you mentioned I can post a complaint. Thanks! |

replied on: 6/21/2007 2:35:35 PM This is fucking bullshit! Cpapri shes pulled the wool over your eyes. Dont believe her. How can so many people be dedicated to hating her for no reason other than a few words on another site? (this one) Shes full of shit and just because shes an ex teacher doesnt mean fuck to me. I'm an ex teacher too and i can see how her words are twisted to bullshit everyone. ''Quite frankly, we don't CARE how the members of "Strange Happenings" view us, as we have already had our run-ins with many of them and remember, there are two sides to every story.'' Yeah right! Thats why people who are members here are banned from there immediately. She WATCHES this site all the time to see who's posting what. And as far as the comment about them not caring how members here view her thats bullshit too. She told me in chat a year ago she was shitting herself because someone here threatened to kill her (apparently its someone who lives near her) and she got those threats removed from this site.. ''You state you joined Ghostchatter out of curiousity regarding the treatment of others who seem devoted to hatred and malignancy towards us.'' They are devoted to hate you because of the way you hate them and all because they belong to other groups. Its fuck all to do with who doesnt like you...its the fact they join other groups. That has been proved TIME AND TIME AGAIN! ''the fact remains that our website has continuously grown in the 3.5 years we've run a chat room and is entirely funded by us. It is akin to coming into somebody's home for a party, at any time the host(ess) can ask that person to leave, the same with the chat room. Would you permit any guests in your home who behaved in a similar fashion, judging on some of the posts admitted in that group stating they come in just to harrass?'' More bullshit. Your 'members' dont post shit in your group because they're scared to. They dont go to the chat room cos they heard so many stories about ppl being banned for no reason. ''at any time the host(ess) can ask that person to leave'' Big difference between being 'asked' to leave and booted out on your arse without the chance to explain or find out what you did wrong. I cant believe that fat cow wrote all that trying her hardest to convince you she wasnt a fucking fat nasty cow. Look at all the threads here slagging her off. Did we ALL break the rules? Did we ALL spam her? Did we shit! Truth is, shes a paranoid, sick, twisted, power crazy bitch who WANTS to be hated. She gets a kick out of treating people like shit, showing them up in chat and acting like fuckin Hitler. By the way did anyone know shes German? Did anyone know JT got banned? Fuck sakes that guy was as good as gold and never did a thing wrong! Saying that, nor did most of her ex members. That fat idiot thinks everyones spammers. Oh yeah thats something else. She had the whispers turned off in chat so ppl couldnt get each others email addies. That was in case any of them recommended any other ghost sites. Paranoid bitch! She can shove her chat up her stinking old honking ass for all i care. I left there by choice and with 'dignity' because i knew it wouldnt be long before she tried to ban me....she wasnt gonna get that satisfaction. Her site is dead. Nobody posts there anymore. Wont be long before her website is closed down too...i have loads of shit on her and violations shes made. One day bitch...its coming |

replied on: 6/22/2007 9:24:12 AM I had been a member on Genasty's group for a couple of years and only now was banned within a few days of joining this group. I don't think that is a coincidence. I know she saw me post on this page and "poof" I was banned from hers. Peggy |

replied on: 6/29/2007 7:43:46 PM Either she is googling you under your user name OR she is definately checking your pc out to see where you go. HMMM< I do think that could fall under STALKING> wonder if there is federal charges. I have been on a few sites already besides this site and the same complaints. Maybe someone should look into going HIGHER than MSN. Just a thought! |
