Rose Sims and Paypal

wtf does the word Canard mean? is that some kind of Chinese cuss word or something?

[Sherry]

I iterate that only the three people who redistributed our donation files(we have enough proof and even one of them has been confessed she did) had been banned from our sites, if you do not one of them,you needn't worry about anything at all! If you are asking us protect a thief,I can't say anything with you!

Wrong, wrong, wrong!  Banning I can understand, and I can say that having been banned before.  Sharing personal information about a persons real name and address is completely different!  It is illegal and I am sure that non-filesharers will find more sympathy in that then they will in people sharing her files!

I'm far more worried about PayPal's part in this.  I had no idea they pass on stuff like my real name and contact details to people I buy stuff from.  What's with that?  Rather defeats the object.

[coliss]

Haha, when I read it, I always had a picture of a duck.

We're learning new words, how awesome is that?

Hey, she very well may be trying to call us ducks. Except she missed completely. Wouldn't be the first time

She appears to be deleting all accusations.

Yes, she has spent a lot of time deleting. She got tired and removed the guest book.

We have know way of knowing if the BlueSoup on this site is the same as the Blue on the others sites. Let them PROVE their allegations.

Huh?  I am the same BlueSoup on all sites.

You are not! I know better.

Paypal if I am not mistaken orginally grew out of Ebay, so the sending of merchaindise to addresses was extremely common in it's infancy.  Paypal is everywhere now, alot of places that need to ship you something will use that option on paypal for your address.  It's probably just something that is hard for paypal to control, as it would cost them too much time and money to look into if everyone who requested address information actually needed it for what they are selling.

I think though they should make it an available option for the buyer to not expose such personal information if it is not necessary in the transaction.

I completely agree with that.  There is no reason for any Sims transactions to require mailing addresses.

It's why my sims paypal account is a complete fabrication of the truth.  If they are not going to take responsibility in protecting my identity I am not going to give them real information about who I am.

[BlueSoup]

Well mine is now

I like the way that when she's arguing, she uses all these baffling synonyms, like Canard, and has quite good English, but when she's doing the fluffy 'they're lying to ruin my reputation' thing, she goes into this 'I'm foreign, my English not so good, pity me' type of speak.

I think it's dreadful, founded in her mind or not, that she's sharing details of people she SUSPECTED to be sharing files. Let alone the fact that it's really not her place to do that sort of thing anyway, but just people who she suspects might be. I don't like that, not at all, and the fact that she lied about the reason for her bizarre new donation policy, too.

*sigh*

I have a horrible feeling though, that if RoseSims is destroyed, there'll be a bigger backlash than there was for Retailsims...
