Long and short - dont use a filehost if it isnt in the filehost group, because the problems you explained are more than likely going to happen, and is exactly why the new rules have been put in place.
sorry, I don't know this new rule for 6 months
I just see those new hosts are allowed to built a new thread in file host board
so many ppl like me join them to take a shot

Thanks for your advice.

May I ask how long will you or other mod will take action against those SCAM site official link? like holderfile, already disconnect and not online for a while, but his topic still alive in there.

anyway, thanks for you explaination

While we are on this subject how many businesses do you think will listen to the wants/demands of a free user of their service?

Honestly you should be thankful they do not make you purchase a subscription to upload to their service IMO.
1) I am not an old member to join file host affiliate. One year ago join with filesonic and accidentally make great money. and then wupload and filepost. Every single site I join is great and payable. and my a/c is still a free user. Therefore I do believe this is the "rule" in this business field. Just like you watch TV programme, most of them are free to public. Get money from advertisment. That's what I thought.

2) Being a business man, goodwill would be the most important thing. Not subject to the ppl who pay, but to all ppl they face. If they don't like free user, it would be fine to block ppl to join. It would be fine. I have no problem on that. But once you give a promise, you did have obligation to bear the risk and keep your word. I am not talking about the legal issue, just word of mouth. I understand no free lunch in the world. but it is not an excuse ppl can lie.

3) if the market is only 1 to 2 competitor, they are asked for pay. But the fact is not. They are not mercy to grant an allowance to user, We are just partner relationship. So it is not charity programme from the host admin. If I would like a backup a/c, why don't join rapidshare / mediafire? their premium a/c is not expensive. Why should choose such new host? I do think most ppl like me consider is only money earned but not for file storage backup use.


anyway, I understand it is high risk to join a new host nowadays. Maybe you have already read many complain thread like mine in previous days. Frankly speaking, I know it is useless to yell to those SCAM site. I just like to speak out my feel in this community and get some attention from same group ppl.

Sorry for posting in the wrong board.

p.s.
May I ask which board can I talk about these thing? like host issue / which is better or worse? user opinion? share of tips?

Thanks again

As many ppl know, many new file hosts appear in recent months, many of them are SCAM and just get your sales but no payment made due to high payout amount Classic example: holderfile.com with Euro$40 min pay Rating: 5
