WebSlave said:Heck, everyone makes mistakes now and again. Most people just don't realize what the seriousness can be in other people's eyes and opinions. I have caught several sites cheating on the FaunaTopSites listings simply trying to get their site up in the rankings, not realizing that cheating is cheating, no matter how you try to justify it in your own eyes. Some sites are still cheating there even now, but it takes time for me to itemize the evidence I need to nail them over it. Most likely think it is just harmless fudging of the numbers. The other people on the site do not look at it in that light, as they want to see a realistic picture of relative rankings portrayed there with REAL numbers.
You need to learn from this that you cannot fool everyone. Those things you consider minor fudging of the truth can lose you customers because they see it as lying and an indication of your general scruples in general. The general consensus is usually that no one can tell just one lie. So if you get caught in that little while lie, EVERYTHING else you say is now suspect.
Take this as a learning experience. If I have seen one thing that impresses me the most about people here, it is that nearly all of them are willing to forgive mistakes when the person making them genuinely learns from them how to be a better person.
Please note the word "genuinely". This is VERY important.
I DO FULLY UNDERSTAND WEBSLAVE AND IM SURE IT DON'T MEAN THAT MUCH TO YOU BUT WE ARE SORRY FOR LEAVING THE FEEDBACK ON EACHOTHER
