First off I would like to thank Michael and Brian for their attempts to defuse this thread and support CAP and the truth. I would also like to thank my best friend the Captain, Big Fish and Dominique for having the courage and integrity to post their support in what was obviously a VERY hostile and negative thread.

I also wish that my first post at GPWA in several years could have been made under much better circumstances. But things being what they are here goes:

1. Would like to point everyones attention to our official policy at CAP with regards to the sale of databases or email lists. Its posted here:

it states:

Guys while it has always been our operational policy to not allow the sale of email or casino databases at CAP we havent publicly outlined or posted our stance on this. I felt it was prudent to post our official policy moving foward.

1. CAP does NOT recommend, support, endorse or condone SPAM or email marketing efforts to persons who have not specifically opted in to receive those emails.

2. CAP does not allow databases or email lists to be offered for sale at our community. PERIOD. If you post an item like this for sale the post will be removed from public display and the poster will be banned from CAP. We have a 0 tolerance policy on this moving forward.

3.We do support repsonsible email marketing to a newsletter or email list where the recipient has opted in to receive those emails from that publisher. But we do not allow those lists or newsletters to be sold or exchanged here at CAP.

In the past there HAVE been several posts by persons who sought to sell databases. When we see those types of threads they will be archived. We have NEVER supported the sales of databases, but the fact is we are a very active community and not every post is caught. Occasionally something we do not like has made it through our moderation net and I cant apologize enough for this. We will certainly be watching carefully to ensure it doesn't happen again in the future.

If you have any questions on this policy you are welcome to PM me.

Thanks

That's our policy in a nutshell and it expresses what has ALWAYS been our view at CAP. If you frequent CAP you know we have ALWAYS advocated responsible marketing practices by affiliates. We have come out on numerous occasions as being clearly against SPAM, Scumware and Blackhat practices. Most of you have known me for years and you already know that about CAP.

The post that allegedly took place was from two years ago. I did NOT make that post. It's either a total fabrication or it's a post made by a person with admin access we had a problem with several years ago and let go. It's not in our database and if I had seen it years ago I would have deleted it. I am not perfect, no one is, but this is really an unfair and hateful attack that has no obvious benefit to anyone.

I don't expect the the antagonists staging this circus to accept that. They dont want an explanation or dialogue, they want blood and to damage me and CAP. They are not trying to change anything or protect anyone, it's just a malicious smear campaign based on a thread that supposedly occured over TWO YEARS AGO. Instead they will hammer away until someone steps in and stops them. That's apparent after two week of this barage.

I believe their self serving motivations are obvious and I am not interested in wallowing in the mud with these dirt bags and unethical liars, so I wont be posting again in this thread.

I hope the next time I post here it will be under far happier circumstances.

Thanks for hearing me out.
