hmm... who would rate bob's site poorly?

gah... never mind.  Bob already saw what caused it, and it's just outdated info.

Yes I know!
WOT still has me listed for something that isn't even on my server.  :'(

Hi bob3160,

What about this WOT card: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/bob3160.blogspot.com
three greens one yellow
http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/bob03160.livejournal.com
all green as this also: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/bob3160.spaces.live.com

Here you were blacklisted: http://www.mywot.com/en/forum/5034-be-sure-to-take-a-really-blaklist
: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/lockergnome.com

Why was this? PHung made the mistake of using it's "blacklist" as a resource, but it is NOT a trusted source.
The blacklist is of no use whatsoever... http://www.mywot.com/en/forum/4854-phung-s-board?comment=22947

Hi Damien and any one else who is interested in listening,

All this bull revolves around a file called "CrowningOfPresidentBaracObama.exe"
The file itself doesn't exist on my server. What I do have are two files.
One is named "CrowningOfPresidentBaracObama.swf"  and,
the other one is named "CrowningOfPresidentBaracObama.html"

The file itself contains pictures I took during the inauguration of our president.
The pictures where shot of the ceremony as presented by CNN news and taken directly from my TV.
I subsequently turned those pictures into a flash (swf) presentation and called it "CrowningOfPresidentBaracObama".

End of story. One of theses days, WOT might get their facts straight. Till then, I'll have to keep explaining their ineptitude.  :'(

WOT has a lot of work to do to get their facts straight and has more to do with personal bias than ineptitude.

Just as i have been saying all along about reputation scanners. They are basically worthless junk.

I wouldn't say worthless, but they should be used as guidance and not regarded as gospel. When you do find on that you feel is incorrect they you are free to submit your assessment.

Hi forum friends,

I value the comments by their users best both for WOT and Norton Safe Web results (they report from their own experiences), but nevertheless there could be something wrong when the main status is an all green and you could meet a happy infection or they can give a site a "smear" where there is not any founded reason to do so, to my humble opinion more reliable but also missing some are unmasked parasites, novirusthanks.org and of course the very apt avast shields, and the use of a full protection against malcode scripts all sorts: the Fx extension NoScript,

WOT is useless imho. They fail when they couldn't. They blame to innocent sites. Security is for specialists, not for people to vote.
The best things in life are free.
