That garbage Serfish link is NOT going to stay here.

1. It's a newly registered domain with WHOIS privacy. There is no established trust there for you to be handling unknowing user's personal data, or promoting your own sites through Wikipedia.

2. The net is already flooded with spam links to the site, just like you're doing here. I think it's safe to say it's your site at this point, since you just lied about hearing it mentioned on the news. You created the article hoping that your link would stay under the radar. It didn't.

The only news of this site is that it's spam. You've been comment spamming blogs, you just bumped at 2 year old thread at DigitalPoint to spam it, as well as on other hosting forums.

3. The TOS alone basically tells people they're data is not safe as it's all pass unencrypted on your servers.

For you to be this agressive with spamming a new domain all over the net, there is a hidden agenda. I feel sorry for anyone that enters their data at that site.

In closing, Wikipedia is NOT the place for you to gather victims. Go back to forum and blog spamming, because the links aren't staying here. S600 (talk) 08:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

I can response to your issues in the following way:

1. The page is newly registered with WHOIS privacy, but if you take a look at the contact information of serfish you see that the author of this page reveals its identity and provides even more information than in WHOIS would be found: He complied with european standards on web site identity.

2. I do not know how the owner of the page is behaving. I am also not interested in it. It is a new project an probably he is trying to market it by pointing web users interested in web based ssh to his domain. I could still not find spam the way that he posted to threads/blogs where the topic didnt belong to. For the mentioned pages I would say: In doubt for the accused person, in particular if it is a free service that is provided.

3. I see no point that makes the link to serfish unserious here. The publisher of the site reveals how it works (how it also works on other pages!)

Believe it or not: My interest in having this link published is no personal, I just wanted to start contributing to wikipedia by writing about a topic i am interested in and where i have some knowledge on. I now do not want to accept that here is control about public contents, blocking potentially relevant contents (no matter what is done to promote this site: the serfish project still is highly relevant for the discussed topic i think).

On the other hand, if you were serious about your concerns you would also have to remove the remaining links:

1. Where do you find established trust for the two other services? Both of them look older/more deserted than serfish in my opinion.

2. The links pointing to these sites are also questionable.

3. All of the remaining services work exactly the same way.

Therefore, if you have really bad concerns about the provided link: I suggest we either remove all links to all services (gotossh and my.anyterm.org) or we reinsert serfish. Looking forward to hearing your opinion. J.crox (talk) 08:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
