The author of this thread is marketing his own private domain traker "for e-cas updating services".
Some members are receiving e-mail notifications from that tracker without being registerd....
It brings up serious privacy concerns for all the forum members.
Please do the applicable action on the mentioned thread.
Thank you Edited by edmotonresident - 11 Feb 2010 at 7:24pm |

To Emad: just want to set the record straight and make an observation. I went to the old archives for a history for matthewc (and myself) but, unfortunately, it seems everything after March 2007 is gone. However, this was matthewc's profile information as of that date, just to give others a clear picture of who he is.

Canada Many of the senior members of this forum (including myself) have used the tracker successfully over the past several years (without any privacy issues whatsoever) - and I actually recently signed up for it again to check my status for me while my PR ap is being reprocessed after an allowed appeal. Nobody is FORCED to sign up - and the suggestion that Matthew was spamming or trying to profit from posting his offer is ridiculous because you don't profit from offering a free tool to someone who chooses to participate in using it. In addition, the accusation that the tracker is sending unsolicited emails to forum members is ludicrous - any email that comes through this site (and I get plenty of them) is delivered to a member's email inbox with the member's name and email address visible - so, if Matthew was sending email to forum members about the tracker, the emails would clearly be from him. An automated tool cannot send email to this forum's members because, as you know, email addresses are not published in this site's profiles. Knowing Matthew personally, as both my husband and I do, I know that his intent was only to renew an old offer to forum members that was lost in the previous forum's destruction. He was honest and forthright about the offer and about who he is. Unfortunately - because we all lost our original "joined" date and our Member status when the site was recreated - newer members have no basis of understanding for who Matthew is and has been to this forum, and they panicked. Unfortunately what I'm observing is that the real trolls are very active still, moderation is nearly non-existent (again) and we're headed for another crash. Today, when I wanted to report a post because of troll behaviour, I wasn't able to find an option to do that - which is what led me to this forum and discovering this thread.
