Rainier
What a strange comment. Who said anything about being male?
Tell you what however- you are a good example.
As i said Wayne the man I "see "- Is the man I "be".
Just ask Rainier
Strange really strange and very disrespectful towards Pauline

No Wayne, I didn't tip off the Sydney Morning Herald. I wouldn't have imagined that they think a story about a cybersquatter was worth printing to begin with. Still it was a huge surprise to all of us tracking your spam on Wikipedia when it did appear in the media and got syndicated around the world.

Come on Wayne, what did you expect would happen when you bought the domain to the daughter of a recently-deceased Australian legend? Did you honestly think no one else would have noticed? Your linkspamming has gotten you banned from at least 10 different sites, so how many enemies have you made apart from me?

Personally, I couldn't care less about your cybersquatting, nor could I give a damn about your political leanings -- I AM NOT STALKING YOU, I just track long-term abuse cases on Wikipedia and as soon as you stop spamming it, we'll stop tracking your activities. I have enough spammers and vandals to take care of Wikipedia to have the time to "stalk" you and run a smear campaign.

You started spamming Wikipedia articles to improve your search rankings and increase online advertising revenues as you admit at the bottom of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Croclover

It's kind of ironic that spamming Wikipedia was a two edge sword when we started documenting all the domains you were using to spam us and the accounts we had to ban to stop you.

See what I mean about "stop digging" Wayne?

I had no idea that you have such a reputation around the internet traps - how exciting!

From the tone of the links Netsnipe provided though, it would appear that your activities there are not generally liked.

And although I know little of the mechanics of spamming, the gist seems to be that in a forum far distant from the Irwins, you have somehow gained a reputation for being a bit of a cybervillain.

Do I read that correctly?

Please note that I am not personally suggesting that you are a cybervillain, in much the same way as the SMH did not actually accuse you of anything. They simply reported on the context of the bindiirwin web site that you took upon yourself, and allowed others to draw conclusions.

You began this thread with some belligerence:

>>The public has an expectation of honesty from their leading sources of news. Unfounded charactor assasination when discovered should be retracted.<<

You have yet to show any evidence of "charactor assasination" [sic], and are many light years from indicating that it might be "unfounded".

I have to say that given the broader context we are now beginning to see, you would do well to pack up your tent right now.

There's brave, there's brave but foolhardy, and there's stupid. Maybe it's time to look in the mirror and decide.

Apart from anything else, it means that your posts on other topics will be tainted by the reputation for sound or unsound judgement that you have gained here.

Yes, I think Wayne is well and truly busted. However, on reading those links I suspect that he's just going to keep on digging - until it all falls in on top of him.

I don't think Wayne is visiting this board any longer. I guess you guys win. The pressure must have gotten to him. From what I hear John Stainton isn't much impressed with the Press either. He has taken a one year holiday and pushed the Bindi show back out of disgust at call back radio and newspaper stories of late. I can't say I blame him. Media reporters are vultures aren't they.

"You started spamming Wikipedia articles to improve your search rankings and increase online advertising revenues as you admit at the bottom of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Croclover"

I don't make any advertising revenue. I don't even own any websites. I post my links at Wikipedia for fun. Just to see how long it takes for you to notice. I used to post legitimate forum links but after being banned and called a "Vandal" decided to get revenge by spamming your site. Hardly a criminal act. In fact it even says at my MySpace page that one of my hobbies is 'Vandalising Wikipedia'. I've never hidden the fact. Everybody does it.

I honestly couldn't care less. Nobody takes Wikipedia seriously. It's unreliable and run by idiots.
