Anyone else think "supergeeeeek" is just from "http://www.yourwork.com.au" trying to promote the site?
It looks kinda crap TBH.
-
Jamesh and supergeeeeek share the same IP.
Supergeek has a throwaway email account.
Both accounts have been permabanned on the basis of deceptive conduct.

Look guys, if you're going to try and emulate what we have going on ATARNotes, probably ATARNotes isn't the best place to try and deceptively advertise it.
We have no problem with ethical companies that come here and market their services in a completely honest way, there are a few good examples of this and they are doing very well. There are also examples of people using deceptive methods to do so, and believe me, we will, and have, done everything we can to ensure that our user base isn't being tricked by dodgy tactics.
We're not anti-competitive if you'd like to put it that way, but we're not going to stand for what you've attempted to do here.

I'll also add that we've helped to put a company out of business before by exposing them as frauds. We'll happily do it again.
-
LOL. That is all.

This is sufficiently awkward because we played no role in this. We actually refer to ourself as yourwork and do not need to 'hide' behind these fake accounts people have made. We know how this looks and it's not good from where we are standing however it wasn't until we noticed an unusual spike in referals from here that we decided to come check it out. I'm sure by now you would have realised that this 'imposter' was infact not any stunt to draw attention to yourwork.com.au by us and that our IP addresses are not the same as this person/people. We have a fairly good idea of who it was and this person has absolutely no affialiation with us or our site however we are not pointing fingers until we know who it was as you too should have done. We respectfully ask that you delete this post as publishing these accusations does constitute defamation. We regret that this was how it turned out however we understand how it makes us look hence we hope you would oblige with our requests. We also ask that you delete any further post which tries to do the same thing that this has done in order to avoid future problems.

My
highly paid legal team internet lawyer degree tells me that it's not defamation

get the legal studies boys in here
oh wait I do legal studies.
What can I say.... I have no idea, despite the fact my exam is in two days :(
HOWEVER!
I do know that If you kill someone and satisy mens rea and actus reus - it is classified as murder :D
-
off topic, but JarrydIsBored, your subjects are gold, you've taken 11 different subjects!! :P
People called me crazy, but I really wanted to try a range of subjects to see where my interests were :P Funnily enough, I prefer the Maths/Science subjects (which I took in Year 11) which is why I'm off to do a Bachelor of Science :D Thank god I didn't need methods or a science to get in! (Well if that was the case, I would have kept those subjects haha)
-
Yes it does constitute defamation actually.
Defamation = 3 things
- Making a defamatory statement (certainly this has lowered Your Work's reputation)
- Made known to a third person (again you can track the views yourself)
- Caused damage (financial, physical, mental) to Your Work (remains to be seen but certainly on ATAR Notes it has.
-
and now read up on the defences to defamation mr internet lawyer
-

Hahahahaha mate you think you're a lawyer because you do legal studies.
A statement can't be defamatory if it is of trivial nature. GTFO
-
Best defence to defamation is that it was the truth - prove it...
I think you'll struggle
-

That's where you're wrong. Look at the response this is getting. Proving that it's not trivial

Yeah bro. Because the court is going to waste its resources over something like this. You make me laugh.

Arguing with people on this forum really isn't helping your reputation. Kinda defaming yourself...
-
You think we're really going to go to court? Please...
If you get back to the original post we stated that we would like this thread removed as it constitutes defamation. I think that's more than obvious
-
This is exactly what happened with Pathway2Genius, except at least their CEO had the common decency to apologise, even though in their case the person responsible was also not associated with their organisation.
Nice try but you're not going to intimidate us with petty claims of defamation.

Someone's having fun with proxies... This account has been banned: yourwork.com.au

Could you care to please explain another account registered to your 'company' email utilizing a proxy to get onto our forums?
If your claims are true surely you guys only need one account from your own IP to get onto the forums?
-

no it doesn't
Just putting it out there, it's just an opinion. No need to get too upset, opinion happens.
-
This thread is pumping me up for my legal exam. Thank you.
Also: called it (see: first reply in the thread). Nobody ever listens to burbs...
-
Yourwork has PMed us (the admins) to apologise for their actions and have admitted their guilt in this fiasco. This matter is now considered closed, and this topic is now locked.
-
I would say that guilt was not accepted in that PM.
What if I was able to link the email that 'Jamesh' is registered to, to one of the owners of YourWork? Michael.

This matter is now considered reopened! And a massive "OWNED LOLZ" post is forthcoming :)
Enjoy, everyone!

Damn I was a little late to come into this, but I was going to comment on the whole IP address situation. Changing your IP address is so easy even the most novice of people could do so as I'm sure many people here know, and the fact that yourwork so quickly identified the difference addresses between themselves and the original offenders only makes it more apparent that they had switched - they wanted the fact that they had changed to be clear to everyone.

Dumb, or dumbest? Michael Bevilacqua and James Baird - yourwork.com.au

I lol'd.

Seems to be the general consensus.

As a student of Legal Studies I know that there are much cheaper options to have a dispute resolved. I even wrote my own Legal Exam due to the high level of Boredom I have encountered.
