I'll be signing up tonight after work and I'll be bringing one or two others with me. We sell stuff on XStreet but mostly we shop there. If the quality designers are at Slapt.me we'll stop shopping on the other site (for the most part.) There’s an alternative to the X-site?

Not that it will make anybody happier, but at least maybe ease your fears of having other words banned. After reading the ad discription, and thinking of the claim "keyword spamming", I bet that someone was using the search to find Converse sneaks, that ad popped up, and they were offended by the sexual nature of it. Some people just don't want to see it. Yes, its up to them to protect their eyes & sensibilities, lol. But if they reported it, LL got worried & pulled it to prevent more people stumbling upon it. I see plenty of things in search that I'm not interested in, but I just ignore it & move on. BTW, how can I find the alternate market, I'm new & just lurve shopping?

Good to know that you have read our server logs and deduced that we did not have a DDoS attack, hell you are better than our own hosting company engineers who were present at the time and blocked the IP the attack was coming from, ah well they must have been mistaken if an anonymous person on the internet knows better than them ;)

As far as down time, well since we started, this was the first down time we have had and yes we found a problem with the slapt boxes trying to all reconnect after the attack at the same time, but this has been fixed and an update issued, but I assume you would have known this as its all on our forums in public view as I like honesty and transparency beats anonymous postings any day of the week ;) Slapt has growing pains but hey xstreet wasn’t finely tuned the day or even 6 months after it started and as slapt is written from the first line of code as a bespoke system and doesn’t use Joomla, phpBB etc. as a sales platform, unlike other sites then sure there will be teething troubles, but then everyone is aware of them on slapt, its a community thing and people are fed up with lies and BS and those that think they know better all the time ;)

As far as bad publicity, well please tell me where you have seen that and I will be the first to answer the questions posed, feel free to email me anytime iain AT slapt DOT me that is if you have the balls to put your money where your mouth is ;)

As far as the adult porn market roflmao, have you seen the site? there is more normal stuff than porn stuff and its the same stuff you see on xstreet, just that we feel as SL is an 18+ platform our merchants and customers, as they are adults don’t need us to tell them what words to use and not use, and the stuff listed on our site is the same as on xstreet, people just don’t need to list it as adult, thats why we have a warning page actually similar to xstreet ;)

People are free to list or not on our site, we do not mind we just offer an alternative that is growing daily and we are not like Meta-life or Apez more like xstreet ;)

Thanks for your comments just a shame that you can’t be open and post with your real details, well at least your SL name go on I dare you to :)

If their email system picks up any combination of a word that matches something profane (ie MatsuSHITa) it'll kick it right back to you stating that such profanity is not allowed to pass through their network.

(The island where I rent my residence has some items around it that simulate the tide--oops, what will Proctor and Gamble say?) I'm reminded of a message board that had a really basic profanity filter; you couldn't talk about Hellenistic culture or Matsushita monitors. It got to be a joke, and LL runs that risk if they keep this up.

Get your heads out of your asses and hire some people to run XStreet that understand language usage outside of a fucking spell checker. If a designer wanted to create Shakespearean outfits of say Mercutio, Tybalt, Hamlet or Duncan, will they get their asses skewered because Duncan is the name of a company that makes Yo-Yos? Checkers is the name of a grimy lil hamburger franchise. Rip all of the scripted checkers games off the fucking site while you're at it.. oh, and Chess is a record company so wipe the goddamned chess sets off XStreet too! There are LOTS more words with which XStreet can exhibit their uncanny knack for stupidity. The fact that they had a chance to review this incident and still fucking blew it absolutely disgusts me.
