I'm keeping all my points on target. If you are paying out to developers then you should be fine and dandy. As I clearly stated, I don't know the general situation but what developers like Martin and Koxx are saying is that SlideME hasn't in their case. You say you are now dealing with it. Well great! You aren't sure of anything, at least not where it touches reality. My personal reasons are not to damage SlideME's image but to keep SlideME honest with the developer community. > You also failed to mention for the three developers you posted that had > problems receiving a payout, that they were in contact with you during that > time and you failed to respond in many emails from them.

I'm keeping everything confidential and I take that very seriously. Apparently, you aren't. So don't force me to reveal such matters to defend myself (like in regards to what happened to our mail-servers, personal e-mail accounts, and domain names last October/November), just correct your distortions of what went on internally. > > Anyway, thanks for pointing out the BBB, as it needs to be fixed and handy > for developers to know as they venture into the business world of who to > trust and not to trust.

Any active member of the community would likely do the same. I'm not sure how it is in Greece, but in the US agencies like the BBB help resolve issues between customers and business in a professional way, they aren't just a reporting agency. There is absolutely nothing wrong with customers using them as a mediator when they can't get resolution (even with honest companies). > when SlideME's interest is to grow and support developers at best we can > with our resources.
