So I can't send you what I haven't received. You can read up on referrer spamming here: http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/referer_spam/ As for proof that others have been spammed, that's very easy. For proof others have been spammed, check this page, and search the page itself for volja http://www.yellowcat.org/stats/ref_200503.html You can search Google for this one for instance: users.volja.net/nachich or even better, the most aggressively spamvertized: users.volja.net/goldbase That one's been yanked by volja, though. And I've sent you a log extract of all the referrers from volja for March and April to annelisabeth.com Referrer spamming isn’t done via e-mail. So I can’t send you what I haven’t received.

Because we havent got till now any other messages from other users for the ID you told us and we havent got any proof for that till now - please send us the mails you got than we can lock the sites (referers) that are promoted via spam - and he/she cant send traffic from that sites to our system anymore! And we write the affiliate a warning notice - he have to explain why he has send mail to your account (therefor we need exactly the mail you got) - if we get no response within 21 days - the complete account get locked! Normaly we tell the affiliates to contact the user that informed us about the complaint! Sorry for that but we cant do anything without proof - if we do so we can get big problems, and it wouldnt be fair for our affiliates too - that would be like somebody tells your provider that you promote your site with spam and he will take your site offline without any proof! Im open for your suggestions and if we have proof we can do something if not - we cant. If you think that makes us spamfriendly - im sorry but i cant change it - but there are allways 2 sides of a coin and every part has his rights! we make no condemnations without proof! wish you a good day hi ann,

To YOUR network. Please tell me, in public, that you've cut off that affiliate! Otherwise, I guess we'll have to assume you're spam friendly?
