I hear a lot about this lately. It's a little scary how quickly your reputation can be sullied on the net. I recently started posting on a certain site only to find out they have been penalized for what looks like inappropriate link schemes. Whether it's legitimate or not, I read all kinds of negative "press" on this site.
I need to be more careful with my alliances. I don't want to inadvertently be smeared through associations. The web is getting more serious, and my business depends on web reputation.
I emailed them to remove my account. Whether this is fair to the site, or not, is beside the point. I don't want to take the chance. I'm writing this to warn others to be careful. Who we associate with online is important.
