Q: My answer was edited by someone else

from babowa's article... what I see as the pertinent part to us:

... MacPaw, ...

... went above and beyond,” he said. “They hired SEO companies to comment-spam; they did paid articles.” And, he said, they took advantage of the Apple discussions forum."

...

Important to note the source... a MacKeeper spokesman

Aww... it's OK Big Fella!

Let's 'em know we're onto their shenanigans

Thank you for bringing that to the Bobfather's attention. Bobfather is not amused by their actions. If anytime the Bobfather is able to help you, you should let him know.

Oh No! Bobfather! It is I that am in your debt!

I liked this bit:

“Here’s a top-level forum—this is discussions.apple.com—if you read the fine print, it says it’s not moderated by Apple, it’s moderated by community members,”

REALLY?????? Someone should tell the Hosts that they are just users like us.... They don't really work for Apple. Who knew? (not that this person had any credibility to begin with - thanks for confirming, Dude)....

CCC and I have been shouting this from the rooftops to no avail. The users and contibutors are the Community. The hosts are at best hall monitors or mechanics working in the backgroud to keep the Forum opperating. At every step their first question should be "What do you need ?", then advocate on our behalves to the PTB.

Sure right, the day Honolulu freezes over.

My above statement assume the hosts are concerned about the well being of the Forum and it's members. I cannot help but think they see the Forum in a much different way then we do.

If I were to have put ALL the good parts of that article here, I woulda just had to quote the whole thing!

Of course, if ya read it on the InterWeb, it's a FACT!!

MacKeeper's spokesDude: "Poor poor pitiful put-upon me."

and BTW, stop taking "THE Dude's" name in vain!

Rather than take YOUR word for it, I think I'll ( and everyone else you encounter here except newbies) listen to our good pal thomas-r - a REAL Expert

From his article > http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-uninstall-software/

Another myth involves the use of generic “uninstall” apps, such as AppZapper, AppCleaner, AppDelete and CleanMyMac (just to name a few). These are often recommended by “experts” on forums, seeming to lend them some credibility. However, these apps cannot reliably uninstall anything. They may be able to clean up a few unimportant leftovers – such as preference files – but they generally cannot properly remove more complex software. In fact, not only do they usually fail to remove enough, in some cases they can actually remove too much, damaging the basic functionality of other apps or even the system.

For your convenience, I'm gonna CC this post to your other thread where you may be compensated

Save yourself the trouble. If a person is spamming the Forum with products the host have said they'd rather you just report it. That way the person is also biught to their attention.

Too slow, Bobfather. SonnyÇÇÇ eezz QueeksDraw McGraw!

I have nothing to do with that.

CCC had you confused with thomas_r.

Also needs a full stop or you get yet someone else.

I use FF "history" suggestions a LOT to get URLs - I did this for TR's - I must have made the same typing mistake at some time in the past
