Spanking News

Antivirus company McAfee have taken it upon themselves to become the sole arbiter of the safety or otherwise of your web sites.

The first you will know about the mayhem and mischief that McAfee are causing is when you, if you use their antivirus program, or one of your potential customers tells you about a notice in red that flags up every time someone goes to your site. This is what they will see:

McAfee TrustedSource web reputation analysis found potential security risks with this site. Use with extreme caution.

This is based on a supposed automated scan of your site and is posted and actioned without being checked for accuracy and before you as the web site owner or webmaster have a chance to check or to comment. When you try to get McAfee to fix the problem it turns out that this can take them up to TEN WORKING DAYS! What a great thing to happen to any site over the Christmas/New Year Period! So for at least ten working days you will be losing business with no way of recouping your losses for the libellous and defamatory statements made by McAfee.

Don’t you just love a company like this? This company must be snowed under with complaints if it takes them ten working days to deal with a complaint!

How dare they do this to legitimate businesses who make every effort to ensure that their servers and all their programs are free of any viruses or malware?

Maybe they are so big that they feel they can’t be challenged in this, maybe they don’t care that they are not only costing you as a web site owner money but that they are also damaging your reputation.

We have listed below a number of web sites where you can go to read more about this arrogant and malicious company and its software and to register your dissatisfaction with this company. Hopefully a class action can be instigated against them for defamation and damages.

Let me quote from http://siteadvisorclassaction.blogspot.com/2008/06/mcafee-site-advisor-run-amuck.html

“Yes, thousands of small business web site owners are shaking their heads wondering how in the world McAfee Site Advisor can ruin it’s business by rating it as a malicious web site. And now they are wondering how in the world Yahoo can simply put its head in the sand when it comes to the inaccurate ratings they publish in their search results. For me, the site that I have spent eight back-breaking years building is now being torn down by a false positive RED rating (for supposed spamminess) by Site Advisor (happily and blindly republished by Yahoo) and a McAfee support team that won’t act”.

 We at spanking news have been contacted by one of our readers who was very concerned at some of the images available on a social network site.  He had seen our recent write up about the World Fetish Forum and wrote us an e-mail.  We have included an extract from it. 

‘I hope the forum you are referring to is run better than Spankolife.  I was a member of this site and enjoyed the free facilities it offered.  When it first opened it was a great place to meet fellow spankos from around the world.

However, as time has passed, I have found more and more images on the site which depict children.  You can also tell from peoples profiles that they are not as they seem.  Spankolife sems to be a haven for people with an unhealthy interest in minors.  I did complain to the site moderator and some of the pictures were removed, however, it seemed like almost daily that these images were reposted and allowed to remain on site’

Now, as you know,  we at Spanking News would not just take one persons word for this.  So, we secretely joined the site to see what we could find.  Unfortunately it did not take long  for us to see that our readers concerns were more than justified. We were on the site for less than a day and found three members who had pictures which would be deemed illegal in the UK.  They were not actually photos but were computer generated graphics showing distressed children in various states of undress.  Other members had noted their disgust at these pictures being on display yet they still at the time of writing this, had not been removed.

Now, it takes a lot to shock us old boys, but shocked we were!  There is no doubt that the majority of the users of this site are  normal spankers like you and I but there is no disputing that there is an unsavourey element lurking and being allowed to hide amongst them.

Whether you agree or disagree, child spanking in the UK is illegal and pictures of such have no place on an adult spanking site.  I know some people participate in age play, but I am sure they would be the first to condemn these awful images.  No wonder  society labels us if we allow these sorts of people to hide amongst us.

We asked the owners of another Forum what they thought and they gave us the following quote.  “Each morning I go though every new photograph and picture added to ensure that it is something I am comfortable to have on my site.  Child pornography is   a  worrying aspect, I will be extra vigilant that these sorts of people are unable to infiltrate our site.

Lets hope that Spankolife cleans up its act before the authorities shut its doors, when it has done so we will be very pleased togive our favourable review of the site.

I was somewhat surprised today to see on a spanking forum that SOL Digital services Ltd, the owners of the SpankingOnline empire had gone into receivership!

I could not believe it so I did some checking and it is true!

One of the casualties of this has been the producers of the Strictly English spanking films who had a marketing deal with SOL Digital whereby SOL sold their films online via their SpankingVids.com web site. It seems that Strictly English were not paid for nearly a years sales!

The owner of Strictly English posted on the forum:

“A few months ago Spanking Online (who operate Spankingvids.com) told me they were going into liquidation, which would effectively wipe out any debts they had including what they owed to Strictly English (about a years worth of subscriptions to spankingvids.com).

I offered to work with their new set-up but I’ve never heard back from them again. I was about to serve them with a long overdue DMCA, but now I don’t need to as they have done the decent thing at last & taken the site down.

I’m sorry for all the fans of Strictly English who supported the spankingvids.com site but as none of the revenue was coming back to Strictly English the situation could not continue.”

I find what appears to be a cynical  defrauding of a fellow quality film producer a reprehensible act by SOL Digital. I only hope Strictly English can survive this financial meltdown.

What I would like to know is, how can what appears to be one of the largest spanking site empires get into such financial difficulties? How long did they know they were in trouble? Why if they are in receivership do their sites now say they are based in Denmark and are still trading? Are they going to honour their bad debts?

And finally, how can Dino and Peppe, the owners of Sol Digital, sleep at night after shafting Strictly English?

You would think, what with the expanding popularity of the spanking genre, that it would be easy for producers to find good locations to make spanking films in.

• The reputable companies pay well for good locations, usually in cash
• The film makers leave the property in the same condition as they find it.
• The owner of the property is usually invited to watch the film being made and even sometimes to participate in the film or film making process.

The requirements for a film location are usually:

• Reasonable sized rooms (15ft+ rooms)
• Good state of decoration and furnishing – if you have a period house all the better!
• Ideally not overlooked so that windows can have curtains open
• Not near a noisy road, factory or airport
• Not located where spanking sounds will disturb the neighbours
• Reasonably near to rail and motorway links for ease of travel for film crew and models.
• Adequate nearby parking for several cars – film equipment is heavy!

Yet despite these reasonable requirements, film makers seem to have a perennial problem finding new locations. It seems that there is  a marked shortage of suitable properties.

So, if anyone would like to hire their property out for a day (approx 9am-4pm) then this producer would love to hear from you!

We have been looking around the sites and the spanking scenes on offer at the moment and are struck by the lack of variety and the distance there seems to be between the what the film makers present to us and what we do in our own spanking life and scene, OK we all love the school girl film and the naughty secretary; well that’s always a good standby. Why can’t we have some thought put into the scenarios though, it must be pretty damn boring for the girls and the film makers themselves to be always enacting the same few lines and scenes.

Why not look at a few of the scenarios used by real people. A feature of lots of peoples spanking play is the ‘roll play’ and the different scenarios this presents. This is where you can have some serious fun or some serious SERIOUS fun. Maybe you like a laugh with your spanking, OK this can be the way to inject a smile and to keep the session light, nice when meeting someone for the first time or trying out your little kink on someone who may or may not share your views on spanking or being the subject of a spanking. Better through a nice roll play situation than throwing them over the arm of a chair and beating their bum till they say either ‘wow that was great’ or call for the cops and have you carted off to the pokey.

There are some things we don’t want to see on film or depicted on web sites. You have to draw a line in the roll play sand I think, the rape fantasy and the kidnap with violence scene, which I have seen discussed on some of the blogs, is where I draw my line.  Some sad person out there might get the idea that this is acceptable behaviour and can be applied to all the ladies he may meet, no better left alone I think.

OK someone is going to say what about the schoolgirl scene, mature ladies dressed as schoolgirls? Well that’s just it, they are mature ladies and they do dress up, they do not say they are young girls and available, they are play acting and make it clear that they are play acting. With the rape and kidnap fantasy the whole object is that it is supposed to be a real as possible and to look as uncontrived as possible.

When it comes to story lines and costumes then some of the Eastern European sites do have a big lead over the British produced material, I am not sure I like everything I see from these companies but I do like the fact that they put thought into costumes and storylines and indeed locations. It is a fact that they are able through legislation in different countries to go to those places where it is not possible for the British producer to go. Our thought, moral and behaviour police will be after you before the first DVD has stopped spinning, when will the British public at large say enough is enough get out of my bedroom, playroom, and dungeon?

 No we have to ask that you Mr. Producer find somewhere in the middle and come up with good stories and locations. We have the very best spanking models in the world in the UK and I for one want to see them in good stories, acting out good lines and making me believe the whole thing is happening just for me and not to some tired and wilting formula. Do I have an example of the sort of thing, yes I do and it comes from one of the newer web sites. I have borrowed these clips from Spanking Sarah and it shows just one part of the full story. It is based around a girl who goes out on the streets, has sex with a stranger for money, goes to a religious looking disciplinarian for forgiveness and finds that the way to absolution is long and painful. The story has the locations, the costumes the application of thought in the production and editing and all these bring out the best in the excellent actors. More of the same PLEASE.
