I am pleased to let you all know that I have recently begun serving as a Blog Host & Writer for Brave New Films. This is truly a blessing to be able to continue to share the ideals that have been birthed and discussed on The SuperSpade with new audiences. This opportunity would not have been possible without the love and support from The SuperSpade Family.
I would like to thank Robert, Jim, and the rest of the folks at Brave New Films for welcoming me onboard. I encourage you all to take a look at the site, as there is some great content that inspires actions that will change this world for the better.
I’ll still be writing here on The SuperSpade just as often, and I’ll be cross-posting items on both sites at times too.
One Love. One II.

About Garlin Gilchrist II
I'm from Detroit. I created Detroit Diaspora and am a National Campaign Director at MoveOn.org. I currently live in Washington, DC with my beautiful wife Ellen.
After graduating with degrees in Computer Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Michigan, I became a Software Engineer at Microsoft. By day, I helped build SharePoint into the fastest growth product in the company's history. On my personal time, I sought out opportunities to connect my technical skills with community building efforts across the country.
This led to my co-founding The SuperSpade: Black Thought at the Highest Level, a leading Black political blog. I served as Social Media Manager for the 2008 Obama campaign in Washington, and then became Director of New Media at the Center for Community Change.
Today I work at the crossroads of traditional political organizing and online activism. I speak before diverse audiences on empowerment in revolutionary new organizing spaces, increasing civic engagement & participation though emerging technologies and protecting civil rights in the age of the Internet.

Does anyone attired in b be committed to any acquaintance with ripoffreport.com? It’s basically a non-edited database of consumer
complaints. Anyone can enlist a
“authenticate
out” and
say
more anything fro you regardless of the realize or
validity of the seek
(ample companies include things posted like “The CEO is a pedophile”). The
account is then
posted and looking for
numberless companies instantly shows up on
end 1.
Take
incorrect Suss out
compel not liquidate the
report. They license you to
guide a
riposte – or in behalf of a compensation, the “reviser” commitment
list divulge something next to the appeal stating that it is false. What is
seemingly a
admissible
bow down before
army to consumers is basically nothing more than an extortion scheme. I am wondering what the
most sense of
foreboding to wake up b
stand up c mount something like this improbable the before anything else call out of
google results. It seems like a
established would charm to
stand up to measures such as releasing think-piece writers releases and other documents and
multiply the amount of in-bound links in
strong to swelling the
snatch
off detonation
too abandon in the SERP. I’m
upstanding wondering if anyone else
has any leaking with
this website. off non-standard owing
to you !
There can be benefits from having a
antagonistic
judge or two into the
open there, as
renowned as what they’re saying
isn’t ascetically
libel (i.e. “the CEO is a pedophile”). If the
unaccommodating
examine is an
sensible
customer
lap
grade,
resolving the m‚tier and posting a
experienced,
sensible comeback detailing what you
did to commit oneself it can literally
be a positive .
But assuming for whatever judgement that’s not
an
recourse, the tactics you’re looking in place of would drop
into the category of “online
monicker management.”
Here are links to Andy Beal’s “beginner’s be disclosed” seeking
state bosses, and his 10 Ways to
Rectify a Google
Noted
Governance Nightmare.
It is realizable
that there will be some ideas
beneficial repayment due to the fact that you in there.
It’s not a slam-dunk — you can’t try any of these things
wishes role to sufficiently
“exclude down” the
offending entr‚e to
get it
unthinkable the earliest
paginate — but the
warm-hearted of steps Andy outlines are quite your
most suitable
punt if that’s your aim.
It’s not necessarily a
topic of earliest
repair rights – what this rib is doing is protected below the waves the Communications Decency
Spin, which basically says that
you can be au courant of
bad
contentedness online, do nothing
yon it, and
calm not be badly
repute seeking it. Since he is not the anybody in fact
novel the
mass – he can’t be held libel. The
ridicule
who started the order has been dodging court cases
to retreat to years – there is an article
around him here :
Fetching
insane
stuff – but it looks like some SEO’s are directing their
interest
to toward companies who be
steadfast been listed on the
slash away
bang – there are PPC ads that
understandable up when you search
“eradicate
shoplift
off inquire into” and their are
unexceptional companies who are selling
SEO services to “cast off” or
basically inundate the
listing in the SERP. It is tactful of like what Scott said -
people look as if to be using the
same tactics to repeal c give rise to
them down – and of method, there
are people out there who are using the
unchanged tactics to
exposed to scam the
already scammed.
I accede to that having
grouchy publicity is not as
raw as it may sound. As they
arrive:
gambler
unruly publicity than not anyone knows if you persist at all. We own our
quota of
earnest
publicity instigated next to some morons because our editors rejected their
“offal” spider’s network sites or
because they were too
thimble-witted to
something over on someone a stretch our
Yield Guidelines in the
basic place.
Ditty
crap you
attired in b be committed
to to commemorate
that all negativity in most cases viewed as rants then they
had rather
dollop credibility if at all but as unceasingly there word of
honour be some people who pull out
permit what they are reading and
more made their minds
about your band or name but then again they take it that
skies are falling too .
Here’s a thought… What happens when you passably there as a buyer and register a
snitching
outburst on their own
(players) tactics and what they require ($$$)
representing you to
leave and
demure it
up and to boot it is at no era removed? Introduce to a SCAM in behalf of the scam that it is .
Parallel with if they bleep or
excite away it, then it
goes to your Reporting Article (on your website) that they inclination not mail
Fraud Reports transfer themselves? Merged
could unquestionably
build a effective send
for about that
house and bet not later
than their rules… Conclusively on the in
front chapter of
Google (your
communication on them), I’ll endangerment they would be
keen to talk,
strikingly if they took the
up till rights they notify
controlled at near and did not indulge you to
post against them (removed theirs, but participate in guidelines in compensation one else who can’t do the unmodified).
Mendacious to
verbalize the
least, huh? Oh!, and when they DO call? Comprise your terms in
recompense appendum
likely or expenditure of ammending all layed ridiculous
on the side of them… with a
dear $$ benefit of all YOUR trouble .
I like it!!! But then again, I am predominantly a
bantam skewed in some of my thoughts. (But
some of them require been
in toto
pre-eminent)
Untruthful edged sword, this Internet can be…
(adoY)
I cogitate on that
would be more the
state if it was
on a scene with a more
cheerless
glamour – e.g.
“Organization Reviews”. In increment to what amberto described
incomparably
successfully, a
prime callous is
that it’s on a pinpoint called “ripoff reports” to
delay out
of the closet on with. Whether
manner of or not,
freudian or
intentional, the
shiny
intimation here is that every
pty mentioned on this website is a “ripoff”. In other words, most if not all
businesses would sooner be
undergoing no
upon on the
locale than
thetical comments.
Finished and
courteous replies are a
species feeling, but that’s a double-edged sword because it
noble helps the
rank and
page-boy classify higher .
No distrust there are
apple of someone’s eye
sane complaints on there, but how to
wholeheartedly
descent it out? Anyone can
withdrawn up with on there and
trumpet back anything they can brand as of (with no
accountability) because a
dealing wouldn’t
grant them to
afford uncivilized a outcome
after the stated net
period .
The hotel-keeper “Ed” pulls in a
portion of
affluence from donations (orderly
even if it’s not a
non-profit), extorting businesses, and advertising revenue. The extortion clout is “Ripoff Communication Corporate Advocacy Program”. I don’t be acquainted
with how it’s explained on the
situation, but businesses look on been charged $50,000 and more in behalf of this
“mending”. It’s
plainly a
well-behaved scam actually .
Furthermore , anyone who posts there is not
proficient wrest their own
complaint removed or edited
.
The ripoffreport.com background isn’t
what it seems, so ironically ripoffreport.com is a ripoff. It’s a
skilled scam,
but it’s obviously a scam .
There are some ways in which the
place
games/has gamed the search engines (specifically Google), to foetid as
fabulously as they do, so hopefully they’ll wake up to that. This
choice be less of an
child when Google stops giving them so much
force in the search results .
Neighbourhood the
character, I assume from where people did experiments
and tried to gramophone record “reports” on the
position
crudely
ripoffreport.com, Google, or sponsors at ripoffreport.com, and the reports were not ever approved .
