Re: SheleeHale...a serious question for you
I would enjoy this opportunity, thank you very much for asking. This is the short version and may not be my best as I have been up since 5am and am starting to burn out - I just did not want to ignore you even if this was just to get more to pick on me for.
Popups - I hate them but with XP and popup blocker software the consumer is able to manage these annoying things. If you don't want them there are resources available and you should use them if you have issue with this. (ethical)
Blind Links and/or redirected links - No problem unless you are doing it to steal from someone else. In this case I would hope that security will improve to decrease this abuse. (sometimes ethical/sometimes not)
Circle Jerks? (The web kind, not the gay boyscout kind) - I hate them they drive me nuts, but I can't give you a really strong answer on this as it really has not been something I have looked into. (not ethical)
Hidden terms and conditions - we all have to agree to the TOS if we want the service; how often do we read it - I rarely do. If I agree to a TOS that has something I would not expect in it that is my fault. But from a consumer stand point certain aspects I have issue with like an inability to opt out or cancel etc. I hear adult sales people all the time say keep the cost under this or that so it gets by without notice on the consumers credit card statement. I personally don't think thats a good business practice but all the power to those that do. (not ethical)
Spam - All for it, but won't do it because it's illegal. I get shit all day long and we have spam filters and programs that the consumer can use if they don't want it. I don't think CAN SPAM is fair and with the ease of stolen emails and IP's etc this law could affect a non-abuser. (sometimes ethical but not legal)
