Mybloglog gone mad>

Mybloglog seems to be going through a really rough time and has now started banning users who have worked methods to game their system after encouraging them shoemoney post

I can't believe any site that collects private info doesn't have a TOS, and how can you ban a person for breaking a non existant TOS?

I have been playing with mybloglog since it was put up on webdigity, but I'm not sure I wish to continue, what do you guys think?

That is very strange, and not really good for a team of people who want to call themselves "company".

Personally I am not going to stop the mybloglog experiment, but I already have a bad opinion on them.

I reported a few bad (adult content) spammers to Eric, I think he learned that internet community is not that nice :D

Well the backlash has started http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2007/02/boycotting-mybloglog.html
at least 2 major bloggers are now boycotting mybloglog, at least until it puts up a TOS the blogers are Andy Beal  (marketing pilgrim) and Michael grey (wolf-howl), I guess the major A listers will follow

I think the people I met are from diff. format lol

And things go from bad to worse

Why does yahoo let this happen? they surely realise they are opening themselves up for a serious legal battle.

yes I saw that and I must say I like to have the information how often people click my ads, I can't see there the problem (but the author is right there should be a switch to turn this off)

My understanding is you don't get to see the info unless you have a pro account, so why are they collecting it for all accounts.

you can see them in the free acoount but only the clicks from the day before

That's an interesting turn. Let's see what shoemoney will do :)

More interesting what will Erics master do (or have done)?
