messageWidgetbox on the ropes!
Widgetbox is not a neutral platform. Several employess have hundreds and possibly thousands of monetized widgets in the gallery competing with their users for affiliate traffic.

You'll want to watch this thread:

Dave refuses to answer the hard questions, and, instead, has banned their competition. Even though the user did not violate their Terms, Dave still absolutely refuses to do the right thing.

Questions he ignored:

Isn't it true that Widgetbox is not a neutral platform? Last time I checked, you were openly posting monetized widgets in your own gallery and competing directly with users for affiliate traffic. AdSense, Amazon, eBay, the usual.

I respect your privacy but do you mind revealing how many widgets you have listed in the gallery and which usernames you're using?

Are there other employees with affiliate widgets in the gallery? If so, how many and may I know their usernames?

Does Widgetbox consider that to be a conflict of interest?

---

I call on everyone to help spread the word about Widgetbox. Their employees (specifically, the support staff) post affiliate widgets in the gallery, and that's a conflict of interest, especially when they start banning their competition for no goood reason.

Thanks for letting us know. Unfortunately, some sites only allow certain affiliates and others are banned. It's always problematic when money is involved. However, I will try to avoid this site - the internet is big enough smoking smiley
