It has become imperative to draw the attention of Afternic and the entire domain community to what has been a lingering problem and why you also need to read what I am about to say because a lot of people may not be aware.
I noticed that some of my domain names, when parked at Afternic, have 403 error on them. When I first discovered this anomaly, I left it for around 2 months I guess, with the hope that it will AUTOMATICALLY resolve on the default for sale lander that we all know. Alas, that never happened.
I had to call the attention of Afternic to resolve the issue. They did the first, second and third. Then I discovered another one of recent and decided to email [email protected] to help me rectify the problem on 403 error.
To my greatest surprise, I do not know if the handler was drunk, instead of getting a resolved issue, I was told that my parking account has been suspended and will not be reinstated, giving reasons such as low traffic, fraudulent clicks, iframe incompatibility. What does all these have go do do with blank 403 error page?
The person even went ahead to tell me to park my domain name with other parking company.
I am creating this thread so as to draw attention...
Now, just 2 days back, I saw Hybrid Electricity.com on drop and told my friend about it. He liked it and decided to buy the domain name. I told him to park at Afternic, which he did eventually. He later checked and found 403 ERROR on the page instead of default lander.
As you can see above, there is a glitch somewhere in the Afternic system which that handler refused to look into but resolve to label my complaint in aweful colors.. I had to create a thread on this before even contacting them to rectify it before some drunk fellow sitting behind their system call this another click fraud, low traffic baldash. What has 403 error got to do with click fraud? where is the place that can even allow click fraud in the first place. If you check the whois for this domain name, you will see that someone else owns it.
I hereby implore everyone who has their domain name at Afternic to check all domains and ensure it does not have 403 error, there is a high chance of having it though.. I wouldn't feel pissed or disgusted if not for the silly reply I got from the handler.
@Joe Styler , kindly look into this because I no longer feel comfortable sending email to [email protected] after what I told you via PM as I feel they are really not worth/competent enough for handling complaints.
