The Myspace Rant

On the heels of my last airline rant, I know I said that I would keep my rants to a minimum but I have to rant on Myspace. I hardly ever go to Myspace anymore. Every once in a while though, I'll have a post from my blog that I like to post the link on the Myspace bulletins and blog. However it does seem to be a waste of time because no one ever goes there anymore and Myspace gets so few clicks that it doesn't even show up on my blog stats.

I decided to go there today and check on some older posts. To my complete shock, horror and dismay, when I clicked the link to my blogs both on my blog page at Myspace and the bulletins area I found this message below:


Sorry, you have reached a link that is no longer accessible due to one or more of the following:

- A reported spammer site

- A reported Phishing Site: A site designed to trick the user into giving up user name and passwords.

- A site which contains malware

- A site that currently contains a lot of spam

- The user entered HTML syntax was inaccurate.

If you believe, you have received this message in error, please contact customer support here.

Note: The specific link may be OK, but the webhost may be the issue. For example, if you are trying to visit a blog or page on some webhost, the specific site or blog may be benign, but because the host/company won't work with MySpace security to block other malicious sites on their domain, we are sometimes forced to block the entire domain.

All I can say is What the??? Who on God's green earth do they think they are to call my blog for whatever reason a phishing site? I went ahead and deleted all the links there and am now going back to my page itself to see if the same thing happens to my links on the page. I don't know how long they've had that message there on Myspace but if anyone clicked on those links, it makes me and my blog look bad. I am furious right now. I have a good mind to sue those misinformed idiots for defamation of character and anything else I can think of just to make them squirm. Okay, enough ranting for today, I promise. We'll keep it to a minimum from now on.
