Enom Shutting Down Accounts who Report Bugs

Enom Shutting Down Accounts in Mass

Enom, owned by Demand Media, is now terminating resellers and their sub-accounts, threatening to seize names of persons who's businesses will be impacted and even shut down.

The problem seems to center around two (2) factors:

1. Demand Media's sensitivity to bad PR.
2. Enom's inability to support ChannelMe.TV framework, which has serious product deficiencies and security bugs.

The company has been getting increased bad press and even a call for global boycott. With Carson Daly and Quinn Daly involved in the Demand Media venture, one might wonder what will happen when the public begins to believe that Enom and Demand Media are perpetrating unfair business practices and false advertising.

Here is the situation:

1. Their .TV social media sites do not support Internet Explorer 7.X, and tech support management (headed by a "John") has advised them to not test under IE 7.X.

2. The videos have embed code, but the code is invisible to some browsers. They were apparently unaware of both this and #1 bug above.

3. The blogs can't be made private, which create MySpace-type security problems. Rosenblatt is CEO of Demand Media; you would think he would be more aware of how this has hurt MySpace.

4. The ChannelMe.TV framework has a playlist manager that won't support more than 300 videos.

5. The advertising program does not pay competitive rates; as a matter of fact, instead of $25 per thousand impressions, users report as little as $10.00 for 40,000 impressions. This is an indication that early fears expressed are probably the case -- somebody is misrepresenting here; but since it is not audited, who would be able to make any determination at all?

6. Nobody in Demand Media's office seems to come to work or engage customers. They don't reply to blog questions from customers who have hundreds of domains. They don't seem to use their own product.

If Enom and Demand Media customers are interested in joining a class action law suit against this billion dollar company, please contact [email protected]. There might be huge damage awards due to misrepresentation and false advertising.

I am a reseller -- for 12 years -- with Enom. My names were seized illegally then returned. Then when I reported the above bugs, they are now shutting down my account for no stated reason. I have over 60 names and sub-account customers, so this would destroy as many as 30 businesses and Web sites. They have not contacted any of my sub-accounts, and their termination notice was included inside of a closed trouble ticket. Talk about diviants.

I have gotten thanks from some of the techs at Enom who understand that misrepresentation is not acceptable, and that the bug fixes are not an option for Enom. But the management doesn't seem to want tech support to get involved in real support, and they seem to be preparing to flip the company for sale.

A class action suit at this time might get fast settlement, in order to preserve the sale opportunity.

You won't see Carson Daly, superstar talk show hosts, talk about customer service or quality of product. He only discusses the basic concept of social media and he spends a lot of time praising the failed career of Rosenblatt, the toxic entrepreneur behind iMall, MySpace and now Demand Media.

I have about 100 customers and Web sites that are facing the threat of being destroyed by Demand Media and Enom. Talking to people around the country and globally, Enom is seizing more and more names for no stated reason, no copyright issues, no reason whatsoever.

It seems anything Richard Rosenblatt wants to do, he can get away with it. I called ICANN today, nobody even answers their phone, not even an answering machine.

The 'Net is dying, under the weight of money hungry diviants who ignore standards of business and integrity.

It is time to send a strong message to Demand Media and Enom and all their partners and stakeholders. Time to support the global boycott that has already been called for by Wikileaks:

Here's another call to boycott them:

And yet another:

Enom is owned by a billionare who just doesn't care, and the people and businesses who are destroyed under his recklessness are not even considered, they are rogue.

Boycott Enom, Demand Media and all other divisions, to be posted here soon.

Progress report, amazing number of Enom victims. Extreme arrogance of Richard Rosenblatt, and the ICANN office -- lights out and nobody home, just like Demand Meida.

Obviously, a global boycott is called for, but you don't allow a vampire to sit in their coffin just to get up and suck somebody else's blood. You drive a steak through their heart. Enom must be exposed completely as the rank, corrupt, evil, viciuos, violent and anti-American organization that they are.

Let the people who might be considering the acquisition of Enom consider this -- their name will be worth less than AOL's brand, which was so toxic, it almost destroyed Time/Warner. Look for other providers, but make sure it is not an Enom property or subsidiary (such as NameSecure and BulkDomains).

Enom is rogue.
