Reviews

[Spamalott]

So for fun, I added another review of these crooks. This one on Trustpilot. They spam us, I cost them customers, while protecting those people that they might have otherwise cheated.

For more than a year, this company has regularly invaded the Writers Café website, one of the oldest, non-commercial writing venues on the internet. And they do that in spite of repeated requests to stop. Does an ethical company do that? No.

Ignoring site rules and the desires of the members, they drop spam for their company, falsely listing that spam as a chapter in a pretend book. Does an ethical company lie that way? No. Does a successful company have to resort to such tactics when advertising on the site is available at reasonable cost? Absolutely not.

In fact, the author of the spam is so inept that he can’t handle the HTML formatting that people experienced in presentation writing on the internet take for granted.

He lacks skill in working with the HTML language used on the Internet, so all the indentations he included were lost—both of sections under a heading, and paragraphing within that section. And he either never noticed, or didn’t take the time to learn how to fix the problem. Either way…

Aside from being dishonest, and inept, posting spam in the area reserved for the stories and poetry of members is a violation of site rules, disrespectful of the members, and, demonstrates that to them, a potential coin in the pocket is more important than ethics.

They’re supposed to be enhancing their reputation and attracting customers with that spam. Instead, they demonstrate a lack of writing skills, because the supposed condensations of the actual report are written in a way that bores the reader in a paragraph or two. That’s dumb because their entire sales pitch is based on how well they write.

In short, while the company expects people to see them as being experts in their field, they cannot handle a page of promotion for what they sell.
