Hello Everybody,
My Name is Stacy and I'm the customer Service Manager for DVD Exotic.com. I along with Damon ( Operations Manager ) have been operating DVD Exotic for the last Six Months. Our website was recently hacked (and almost destroyed). Our site was down for about two weeks. While we've made great strives in the last few months, this was a challegne that was beyond difficult. However, we're past that now and are quickly getting back on track.
Now During this time, two indiviuals posted comments regarding our site on ADT. Given that ADT is a forum, we felt that we had the right to respond to these posts. But alas, we had found that these posts were not only locked, but attatched with posts from Steph and Drew, casting a negitive light on our site. Nobody had an opportunity to respond.
The funny thing is that we've already recieved several postive posts on their forum. These were never locked - just ignored by Drew, Steph and their moderators - and we should also add the fact that we are not ADT Advertisers.
We feel beyond a doubt that Steph intentionally locked these recent posts to make us look bad. There is no question that Steph harbors some sort of disliking for us. Reasons why, we have no idea. In fact, we at one time attempted to advertise with them. We have a history of e-mails regarding that subject that are very interesting. These e-mails really put things in perspective.
All that aside, upon realizing that no one could respond to these post and participate in a forum disscuion regarding our site, we sent Step and Drew a personal e-mail ( not a post ) asking to remove any and all comments regarding our site - good or bad. This is solely due to the fact that they will not allow a public discussion. We feel that if varying opinions cannot be expressed in a forum, than we want no part of it.
Here is the letter as posted on ADT and the comments that followed.
