Topix fraudulent posts / discussion connersville in

Over the years, many ignorant, bored with no obvious direction, uneducated, opinionated, jealous, manipulative, and maniacal couch potatoes have been legally able to post any type of slander about anyone they choose, anonymously, from the comfort of their own lazy-boy. The shocking part, it was legal? There were several posts that I had my lawyer look into which were a complete fantasy, which resulted in the defamation of my character. Did I forget to mention the impact it on my family, my children, and the misconceptions that it instilled in my employers, church members, friends, local law enforcement? I am absolutely ashamed of my ex-hometown, connersville. Topix discussion forum was the catalyst to invoke the use of manipulation, hatred, ignorance, and anonymous bullying! This is the type of thing that causes people to commit suicide and murder. Someone please explain how this went on for so many years unnoticed? I want to personally, face-to-face, shake the hand and cordially thank whoever took this rubbish off of the internet before my children were of the age to be susceptible to this trash. Thank you! Topix, as for whoever was behind the creation of discussion forums, all I can do is shake my head and walk on. People like you do not deserve a gaze in your direction. "haters did not make me famous!" they only made me "hated on" even worse. You should be ashamed, topix, not me.

Topix poster - anti scammer2017

Hi Topix,

I am contacting you regarding an issue surrounding my name which appeared on Topix. Many attempts where made to contact the supposed individual to no avail. This attack is clearly mischievous and malicious by an apparent disgruntle active personnel at Sungame trying to hurt my reputation after leaving the company.

I am an investor like everyone that has suffered dearly from this elaborate misappropriation of funds raised. My departure from the company was public in 2016 and our team have been working diligently to bring justice to everyone. Since the poster on your website (Topix) has purposefully neglected to maintain open communication clearly demonstrates an act to defame my character.

Please contact New York State Attorney office Barbera Understood, phone number [protected] and verify the facts and kindly remove my name from such malicious posting.

My name on Post: [removed]( Isa is actually my first name and [removed] is my middle - Proof can be sent) - Actual name: [removed]

Poster: Anti Scammer2017
Link: http://www.topix.com/forum/ca/brampton-on/TQLQFTB2DHA3G3CDQ/sungame-scam

This is first step I was informed to take in resolving this matter amicably. We believe 1 week from today, December 5th, will suffice your due diligence/compliance and l look forward to a response on this matter.

Your website plays a crucial role in keeping company owners more accountable and consumers aware. However, I certainly hope you understand improper policing can lead to situations like the one I am faced with. I thank you in advance for taking time to look into and resolve this matter.

Kind Regards,

[removed]

Topix delphi - person responsible for double homicide (forum)

This forum needs to be deleted. Or at least the user: Bird of Paradice.

My concern is that my personal information was accessed & published?
I will also be contacting DMCA & escalating a complaint.

I believe the person Bird of Paradice has access to this information as an admin or mod.

This person deletes & creates chaos as well as stating disturbing comments on the murder of two young girls.

This forum requires an admin to review form the start given the sensitive nature of the crime.

Wow! great professionalism!
The HR department is doing a great job of retaining true "talent".
For the record, did you call me a "Dummy"? Outstanding! great customer service!
My complaint was related to: DMCA - Copyright Infringement of Your Photos.
Specifically, a photo altered & posted.
I would assume as the host of this forum you would respect my rights and delete the poster? Or at least delete the image?
I would hate to think you would diminish the integrity of users & show bad faith when moderating these forums?
However, given your response - I'm not surprised.
Obviously, TOPIX is not following the "Good faith" rule.
I do however love the response. Chris Tolles must be quite proud!
I think this might go viral...haha

Have you tried submitting feedback using the button in the bottom right-hand corner? I would recommend doing that first.

You may also want to refrain from volunteering to do the moderating yourself unless you have experience in that field and they have an advertised job opening.

Why are there food deserts in the west end?

No surprise at all. When theft overtakes profit then the business goes OUT of business.

Want grocery stores? No panhandling for drugs in the parking lots. You can get a job right inside now. No one is fooled.

This has been tried many times over what makes this different. Rip them off and they will close.

Y'all must become the responsible upstanding parents like your great Grandparents who bought, made and paid your pathetic lives now possible. Know, and understand that. Would they be proud? No. NO, not at all.

Topix loans

I am writing to you about two companies that are nigerian scammers... One is [protected]@live.com and curtiz morgan loan firm... Both companies have white men as their profile! But they are nigerian... They do this to scam people... I applied for a loan with both fraudulent companies only to be lied to time and time again regarding fees and before each payment I would be promised I was receiving the loan after this!
I received nothing only to be lied to constantly by both scamming companies... They are liars absolute liars and thieves... After 10 months of payments and lie after lie after lie of receiving a loan I cancelled... Only to have death threats by both companies one saying they were doing the death roll for me... And the other curtiz morgan loan firm saying I had 5 days to live!
What type of people are you letting advertise on your site? Scammers and thieves you should do company checks on everyone this is so wrong they are still advertising on here to scam and hurt other people!
I have contacted fbi and fraud police regarding the death threats for both scamming companies. These scammers should be in jail not advertising their fraudulent business on line only to suck people dry of their money and give people false hope! I lost my home and more through loosing my money through these fraudulent scammers! Please do something I have all documentation to show death threats ect.

Topix gibson plumbing benton ky

Gibson Plumbing keeps removing entries related to their business practices. I stated actual prices I was charged on two threads. One was Gibson Plumbing - great experience. The other was Rip Off Gibson plumbing from 2013 I think. Somehow this company is a able to remove or block all relevant information related to their business practices. I posted under jeflw. You can read my posts. I did not start either thread. Thanks for the information.

Topix trolls

I loved Topix and used it a lot in the past, but there's not much left from the good old Topix. Nowadays there are a lot of trolls there, many people sign up just to make fun of others. Website is full of useless posts.
When you try to contact Topix customer service they ignore you. They will not reply no matter what.
Topix is perfect for people who like gossips and lies. You will not find any useful or interesting information there. Just a waste of time.

Topix inconsistencies and wrongful censorship

I am one of those freaks who reads topix forums for personal entertainment. I occasionally and randomly post, with the intent to educate the readers, make some humor, or to cause others to think deeper, especially on the more "trashy" often defamatory threads, or i post some personal experiences relevant to the topic @hand. I follow the terms of service, avoid profanity, and don't lie. I have also, once, on a particularly polarizing and controversial thread, after posting what i see&know, asked if anybody could cite the particular laws or if anybody knew the local statutes on the issues. In all of these, in multiple cities on multiple topics, my posts are deleted. I even asked once if "ghosting" postings was real, as this seems to happen to me frequently, which was also promptly removed from the website. The censorship seems arbitrary and unfair. People can go on for years on topix about hearsay about people's supposed misdeeds, whether true or fictitious. But if you tell the truth, or ask for a lawful reference in regards to an ongoing thread, or proclaim that you are for freedom and equality and truth, then the mods will delete your posts. It just happened again today, i went back to a thread i had spoken on last week, and realizing my post had again been taken off, when i had done nothing but state what i knew and had seen, used no profanity, encouraged readers to google some particular facts of public record if they didn't believe me. Well, i then made another post, on that thread, decrying their inconsistent and seemingly unfair censorship.And stated that I have a life, this happens too frequently and I am not going to try to redo my comments every time this happens. And closed with something to the effect of, happy new year to all you who are for freedom and equality. To all you who censor truth, shame on you. And guess what, in less than five minutes it was removed, again.

Topix human sexuality forum - fathers encouraging each other to commit incest

I went on the human sexuality forums tonight thinking it was like a psychology forum. What I found in one forum was appalling. A poster claiming to be a teen-age girl asked how she could get her father to touch her sexually. Most of the comments were more than accomodating to her request. A good number of men alleging that they were the fathers of daughters discussed incest with under-age daughters with ardent approval. Several said they had committed incest (one daughter was 11 years old), several were contemplating it, while many not only urged them on, but gave them tips on how to arrange for the incest to happen. One poster repeatedly requested information as to how he could get in touch with others who were interested in young children. It literally made me sick to my stomach. What these guys were discussing and encouraging was clearly illegal behavior. I won't even get into the whole abuse of a child's trust and refusing to act like a responsible parent. This is an ongoing discussion. The most recent post was only a few minutes ago.

Topix I am not sure there is a more destructive website on the internet

I am appalled at how little the Topix management team seems to care about the content on their site. I am also appalled that even for those that try to avoid Topix like a root canal, if someone post something libelous about you, it goes out into the google search engined within half an hour and comes up looking like real news. This can destroy anyone's reputation while Topix makes a profit.

The company does not make anyone register for an account with a verified email address and a phone code and the moderation basically doesn't exist. The only chance of having anything removed (since Topix phone number goes straight to voice mail which tells you they know what kind of site they are running) is to use their feedback system which forces you go on their site and make them some more money and then you can a form letter email which is pretty much more advertising for their site.

The CEO of the company is constantly putting down journalism and taking potshots at newspapers and from what I read has even went as far as saying "speech is usually more important than the victim." That is a concerning statement because it shows no empathy toward anyone and basically means there is no intention to ever try and clean up the increasingly vile forums.

Topix is filled with hate speech, racism, sexism, stalking, child sex trafficking, libel, drug sales, and countless other immoral and illegal things. I am not sure there is a more destructive website on the internet.
