    Cool Criteria for Directory Listing

    What is the criteria for having companies included in the Directory Listing? Personal flavour, $$$, Racial Discrimination, Honesty.....

    We have been fixing expat's computers on-site in Hong Kong since 1997 with good testimonials, yet we have been removed from the Directory Listing without a reason. Just a blunt "discussion closed".

    We however have spotted resources listed in the Directory that is actually not valid (due to owner retired) or not interested in actually delivering services to expats at all. So why not they be removed??

    We would strive to put our image on this site as far as possible despite the "Ban without reason" with the intention of serving the expats in the field of computer support.

    George,

    All listings are at our discretion and the discretion of our community members.

    Given that you could have taken it on yourself to email us or ask us nicely, I would have told you the real reason nicely and would not have to revealed your marketing practices in public.

    However, since you've shown a huge amount of professionalism with this post, here goes...


    The real reason you've been banned is your "other login" that you used, to sign up as [email protected] using the login "Jeff Willis". "cts" stands for Computer Trouble Shooters -- your business, a definate give away.

    This individual kept posting positive reviews about your business and negative reviews about other people's businesses.

    For example, he / she or yourself, claimed that another troubleshooters website "installed a virus on your computer". That sir, is an outright lie.

    GeoExpat has been built on a lot of integrity and I would strongly recommend that you take your marketing activities elsewhere. There are plenty of other sites which have a lower standard than ours... and obviously since we take "personal flavours (sic), $$$" and discriminate .. we're not a suitable site for you to advertise your flourishing business. We are just not good enough for your brand.

    Now move on and take it elsewhere please. Ignore the fact we exist and find other sites ...
