I think this now becomes a matter between the reseller and the registrar. If
the registrar wishes to pursue it further, they can in court.

One really has to ask, what do YOU have to gain, or what does .AU have to
gain by this conversation?

Bottle Domains - transfer issues URGENT HELP PLease.

Edwin,

I have renamed this thread to
"Reseller alleges theft of $730 by Registrar"

which I probably should have done earlier.

Any discussion of relevance to the original thread posted by Jim

seeking help on a domain issue is of miniscule importance compared

to the allegation of theft that was made by Adam against an

accredited Registrar.

The main point of the discussion was to invite the facts of this

claim, if any, to be presented so that after seeing the original allegation

of theft by Adam we could all make an informed judgement on

the truth or otherwise of the claim.

A 2nd reason for the discussion was that apathy ( not seeking the facts )

in the light of an extremely serious type of allegation would make this list
and the

domain industry appear negligent in the face of such an issue alleged by
Adam.

AS I STATED TO ADAM EARLIER  ( copy below )

As you were the one who raised the extremely serious issue / claim
of theft by an accredited registrar

"where they took credit that YES I was rightfully entitled to and now
they won't reinstate".

and spelt YES in capitals to apparently emphasise your indignation at
this stated theft, I would have thought that at the very least you
would have reported this to the relevant authorities.

I was hoping we would see as much specific facts as possible
from yourself in support of your allegations.

If not a single participant in this list had bothered to make the
effort to invite you to provide more information to support your
very serious allegation of theft by a Registrar, this list and the
domain industry would be seen in a very bad light indeed by the
general public.


Regards
Barry Armstrong

  At the risk of being dragged into this flame war of posts, I will ask
people to
  stop growling at each other and let the bone go. Here's my 2c...

  It seems to be clear that Trent is correct in all of this.
  Adam has stated his discontent for Planet.
  Barry has backed the service he has from Planet.

  I fail to see the relevance in the link, although, not having listened to
the
  real audio interview (because i refuse to install real audio on a slow
P133
  laptop and the work computer doesn't allow real audio streams though the
  firewall), I don't know what went on.

  Don't take this as a personal attack however, I just am merely stating the
fact
  of your average computer user.

  I can see the point in Adam not taking legal action in the $500+ as it
would
  probably cost just as much in legal fees. But I can see how this could be
  warranted as a "serious" allegation against a company. As Trent correctly
  pointed out however, if you don't like a place, don't shop there.

  Lets bring this thread to a close now shall we? as the morel of the story
is:
  Everyone's had more than their 2c worth.

  Cheers
  -Edwin
