I don't use them, but I got this email.

Subject: GENBUCKS

Dear Affiliate,

Genbucks has wrongfully been targetted as being a spam program due
to one of our affiliates spamming the board of a major anti-spammer.
(Note this wasnt even due to anyone emailing)

This has resulted in a priority spamhus listing, and the dns getting shut,
servers unplugged , and domains getting seized.we are working on getting
them back, but thats due to which you wouldnt be able to log into your
accounts or visit some of the GB sites.

Please note we are working on war footing and have contacted spamhaus,
the person whose board was spammed and are trying to resolve this issue
as soon as possible, With the hosts and registrars.

Please note none of your sales that came in were lost, and sales are
still comming in, we will be processing them tomorrow so please do not
worry on that. And payday ofcorse will still fall on Tuesday. Yes we
do apologise for the inconvenience that may be caused due to the downtime
going on.

We have not disapared, so dont panic. weve got tempory domains up, so
you can view your stats http://genbucks.org

cutpricepills is still working fine, so divert all your traffic there.

Or Anyone who has their own templates, please edit
http://ezbill.biz/infonew.php.... and replace it
with http://ezbill.cc/infonew.php..

As you all would understand that genbucks has always been a NO-SPAM
program and has strict nospam policies we hope the same can be understood
by spamhaus and we delisted immeidately.

In the meanwhile we request all our affiliates to please bear with us and
help us in getting our name cleared from spamhaus as spam program.

regards,
GB management.

yea thats correct, we have shot emails to all the related parties, though the weekend coming in between didnt help.

I could still not understand why they did this because one rogue affiliate went and spammed a forum of a major anti-spammer.An affiliate program that has more than 500 regular good webmasters and has never had anything to do with 1 spam ever!

makes you feel just sick......is online biz so vulnerable? ITS HIGH TIME REAL REGULATIONS COMES IN FOR EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET INCLUDING OP'S , GOVERMENTS ARE YOU LISTENING?.... AS LONG AS CONTROLS ARE WITH ARROGANT PRIVATE ORGANISATIONS WE ALL ARE VULNERABLE TO "GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN NOT"

WHERE'S DEMOCARACY AND THE RIGHT TO SPEAK?

what i do not really understand: spamming someone's forum ...

you mean addresses on the forum, or comment spam ?

I do not think spamhaus does anything unless it is EMAIL spam ..... but i am sorry to see that this can happen to someone who is against spam, and it pisses me off that i get so much pharmacy spam from the same domains and nothing happens to those ...

I quite difficult to suit Spamhaus if they make a mistake

<quote Spamhaus.org site>
Security for Costs
Due to the well-known untrustworthy nature of spammers, where a non-UK resident entity attempts to bring a lawsuit against Spamhaus in the UK, Spamhaus will in every case invoke the UK's Security for Costs law requiring the plaintiff to pay in full, in advance and before any legal case can commence, Spamhaus' entire legal cost estimate of defending the case, as a bond to prevent the plaintiff from skipping the country on losing the case without paying Spamhaus' legal costs in full.
Spammers should be advised that frivolous US-style SLAPP suits, filed in the hope of harassing one's opponent, are not possible in the UK.

these guys are ridiculous...looks like this group here likes playing god and with no responsibility at all makes any judgements and just puts any info across.....if u read closely u would see what i mean.....as about spamhaus i am sure this group or someone is really friends with someone at spamhaus and is using it to scre* us without any reason....why they cant understand a simple thing that spammer bastar** never give a shit about their domains, they change it every day or two... i think they just trying to get an easy revenge by trying to shut down a compelte non spam program just becuase it also does OP.
