False and slanderous reviews

False and slanderous reviews

As the owners of Stoutgat.net, there are serious issues with the deceitful, slanderous and false reviews of our site. One of the so-called reviews makes the following ludicrous assertions:

"This is a pure scam site." Slanderous allegation and completely untrue. I challenge the person to write this under his own name, because we WILL take legal action against him. We would be happy to produce site logs and database entries proving this, if the person who makes these allegations sends us his user name.

"Probably harvesting emails as you sign up." Blatant lie. Our Privacy Policy makes it clear we will NEVER share of sell or share any email addresses. This is actually ludicrous - why on earth would we sell email addresses to our competitors?

"You will get "likes" and when you pay, there is nothing." - False and unproved allegation. Once again, we publicly challenge the person(s) making these allegations, to provide us with his user name, so that we can prove him wrong by means of site logs and database records.

"Also no card facility? Very dodgy. Only EFT. " This is a blatant, malicious and total lie. We've had credit card facilities from the start and any member can easily find these on the site. Once again, the mind boggles at the sheer stupidity of this comment. Why on earth would we lose business by not having a credit card facility?

"There absolutely no way to get in touch of the owner of the site or any reply."
Once again a blatant lie and falsehood. On the main page of the site, there is a clear Help button, under which anybody can send us a message. We usually respond within 8 business hours. Really, one has to question the motives of whomever made such an easily disproven allegation. Perhaps he's a competitor and jealous of our success, who knows?

"Oh and if they feel like deleting your account, they will do so. A while ago I tried to sign back in, and it just says - email not found in our database. And I still had a paid subscription for 10 days."
Sheer and utter nonsense. I challenge the author of this rubbish to provide us with his user name. Why on EARTH would we delete somebody's profile out of the blue? We want people to stay on the site, for goodness' sake! That's our business!! Given the idiocy of the lies and slander perpetrated above, I would not be surprised if the person simply forgot which address he used to register on the site.

All in all, as the owners of Stoutgat.net, we find these malicious "reviews" to be a clear instance of slander, and we SHALL pursue legal action against whomever perpetrates such lies and slander. The fact that this site, datingsitereviews.co.za, allows such slanderous and untrue allegations, is in itself cause for legal action.

Good day,
Firstly, strange that you'd use this site, which has nothing to do with our site, to write your question. Surely it would have made more sense to contact us directly using the Contact section under the Help menu?

Secondly, because you've chosen to contact us using this method, kindly tell us how we're supposed to follow up on your question? We have no way of identifying who you or the other member are? We suggest you log back into the site, use the Help menu and send us your inquiry from there, which would make it possible for us to investigate.
