[QUOTE=basschick;13639]i don’t trust people easily, and am rarely disappointed. someone i can’t trust for something important i choose not to trust for other stuff - especially if it seems iffy.
i could be wrong, but i seem to recall that one of the producers supplying content to helix involved in a model that wasn’t 18. can’t remember the name of the company - something kandy?[/QUOTE]
if I well remember they were related to the hiv+ models in UK because they bought content from that producer but never reply to the emails about that. But I think that somebody un UK can help us to well remember that
Id dont see anything wrong with that page. Sure some of the Bucks stuff is very young looking but they range from that to broke straight boys and beli ami.
Some people do like younger looking guys. As longs as they are 18+ Im happy. I wouldnt promote Bucks Factory any more. I did their Dr site once, but they didnt get a single payout right first time.
im surprised no one has asked the really interesting question.
Why did they get banned, and how… I can see something must have happened because Google hasnt got a single page from that domain in its index.
I did however notice their Meta tag - “Young gay boys”. I think that says it all. Young on its own is fine, boys on its own fine… but together its really pushing it.
Well thats exactly it, ive said that before as well. At least in the UK it doesnt matter if they are of legal age, if any content feature something that appear illegal then that can be enough.
But I wonder if this is only the start… how do they judge what appears illegal, or what to block / ban.
[quote=DirtyRatStudios;13667]I think this bit is interesting:
What is CP?
As defined in 47 U.S.C. 2256:
(B) such visual depiction is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
Note: “appears to be”. If this is true then it would seem that them looking much younger but actually aged over 18 isn’t a great defence?[/quote]

As I asked in the past: what makes anything look younger or older? What are the features that a guy has to have in order to look 18yo+?
Unfortunatlely it will never be any of us deciding those rules about what makes someone look older or younger. Which is why one has to be very careful, even if something is legal.

Yes, it was a rhetorical a question. Btw the fact that someone can judge something basing his judgment on subjective things scares me a lot. :grrr:
Doesn’t Google look at the relationship between your links and their content, as well as content (tags, image names, keywords, etc.) on your site?
Google has incorporated “guilty by association” regarding search results in the past.
I’m not sure what exactly they did with blboys but I hope they start doing it to all the piracy sites as well… oh wait… Google = Youtube = oh forget it, we’re screwed
I think your explenation or guess: “guilty by association” is the most likly cause to Blboys being banned. Google must have judged them to be CP because of the sites the link to. That does really show how important it is to be careful with where and to what you link.
I would really like to know the exact reason why they where banned, does anyone actually know?

No, and I won’t talk with the owner anymore. Sorry. He used to change the link of submitted galleries with good thumbs (= high average = lots of clicks) with his own galleries. I called it cheating, he called it “something normal”.

That would be my guess. Google has banned most of the ************************************************************************ sites, and I don’t/won’t visit bl boys, but they probably link to them. This should be seen as a warning sign to those that promote them. IMO it was just a matter of time, if you link to a site that is banned in google, then I can see how they would start banning the sites linking to them.
I don’t know this for certain, but that would be my guess. It makes sense logically from google’s standpoint.
WOW! What a traffic hit! That’s pretty much an SOL situation because I don’t believe google will ever let him back in. That’ gotta really hurt the bottom line!
