Hi smoke.

Hello Bea.

On this subject, we are definitely clean and I am hoping that once Phishtank's cache is updated they will see our true status.

Regardless of what might be lurking in one's site files (the Wordpress sites I host get hacked on a monthly basis and getting every little character of malicious code out can be tricky, even though the threat has been deleted), I don't think anyone can use the terms "Verified: Is a phish" unless a phishing attempt has actually occurred.  It's like the false positives that anti-virus programs sometimes give when they don't recognise a file.

Thanks for the heads-up with this Brickbatz as it seems WOT have now rescanned our files and we no longer have a bad reputation. 

Another plus is it makes Darek look a bit of a twit.

When I saw that I thought WTF? Now WOT says Not enough ratings for this site.

* I registered an account with WOT and gave us an excellent rating across the board.

how do I do that?

If you have WOT installed in Firefox, click on the icon then View scorecard for rating details. You can register, rate and comment there.

The Firefox add-on WOT, the Web Of Trust gives this site a [Very Poor] rating.





Sorry guys, couldn't resist  ;D

A bit worn out and creaking at the hinges, but otherwise ok.

Nice to see you around Hmed, I hope you're well too.

Right, installed WOT, not seeing the problem.

Gave it a good rating, and a short review. Will now be uninstalling the add-on. Do people really need such a net-nanny?

I have NoScript disabled for now. If WOT shows a warning I enable it before going to the site.

It does seems somewhat counter productive.  I have been buying a few things online as usual, but now I get a WOT warning for some sites I visit, sites I know to be pretty safe.  I expect one person has given it a bad review and nobody has bothered writing a good one so the mud sticks.  I know this as a WOT warning I have emptied my basket and bought the products elsewhere (I'm so impressionable).

I remember Demonoid having an Excellent rating from WOT. I reckon a lot of members were casting their votes
