Recently UB appears to be rebranding their sites and utilising hundreds of domains. This unfortunatly is having the effect of pushing links about the AP/UB scandal down the search rankings in Google.

I don't think anyone has tried this yet, but I think it would be beneficial for potential customers/visitors to UB domains, as well as improve the damaged reputation of the poker community as a whole:

It is my beleif that UB are running dangerous websites hosting software that has the potential to cause real harm to users, and that visitors to those websites are at risk. We have a lot of supporting evidence gathered relentlessly by many users to back up this claim. So far, there is nothing/very little to suggest that UB are now a clean act, so it is my belief that users should be warned about this.

We have a lot of objective supporting evidence, and witnesses who have suffered significant monetary losses.

So how do we go about warning potential customers that these websites put them at risk?

If it is your opinion that the UB domains host dangerous software and put visitors at risk, then you may feel like filling out a form on Google:

"Please complete the form below to report a site that you suspect contains malicious software."
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_badware/

This would show a notification similar to this one:

Whenever a visitor visits the reported domains.

If enough people feel that UB is hosting malicious software, then Google may class the domains as dangerous and warn users when they use the site, thus completing our objective of warning users of a website that could cause them harm, although it may take many hundreds of requests for this to happen. If you do submit a form, pointing Google to some objective information on the matter may help them make a decision.

The motive here is not to damage their business (although this may be a consequence of peoples actions here), but to warn users about the risks they are taking when visiting those domains by exploiting public tools that Google offers for such instances.

I would also urge that users don't suggest 'template' responses to send on forms such as this, as these can quickly be disregarded by the authority. Unique reports from a wide global user base will support the issue more than a thousand copied and pasted reports.

Thoughts?

OK, I just emailed Google and they are now trying to contact Annie Duke.

If someone can do a list of domains it might be helpful for people wanting to report them.

This is a pretty good idea.

If you don't play on UB/AP then just ***** stop caring what other ppl do or where they prefer to play.

I think that if you feel there is something that could harm someone in the world, and you feel strongly about it, then you should act upon your convictions and attempt to warn others about it's use. You might save someone a lot of harm further down the line.

If you feel strongly that you don't want to report the site, or that UB isn't hosting malicious software, then by all means don't fill the form out. But if users want to report it, then it is their right and they should be allowed to do so, just as you have the right to express your opinions here.

This tool is perfect to combat the catch 22 of the UB scandal. Educated high volume players leave the site, thus increasing the ratio of fishy unaware/uneducated players, thus attracting back the high volume players. It's a cycle that is hard to break, and education via a medium that already has a very wide distribution is the perfect educational tool to at least make potential customers aware of the risks they are taking.

if u dont molest children then just stop caring that whos2know wants to stay off the sexual predator lists.sure he may be left off and and then molest ur child.but who cares?

i like this/done

This is a good idea, I did it, f**k UB/AP imo.

Not going to comment on the fact that you're doing this because it's obviously well within your right so all the power to you in that regard.

Just don't make it sound like a noble effort when a good % of your motivation here is to sway potential new fish away from a site you don't play on and hopefully onto yours.

God seriously just stfu about UB its so god damn annoying.Get over it or Just don't play there.There are plenty of people that play there that have never been treted wrongly and those that would could be cheated are highstakes that know about this stuff anyways.I don't even know why I got so angry reading this in nvg.

Excellent idea.

There are some inexplicably moronic responses in this thread.

Everyone just do the thing and hurt those who would hurt you.

And play somewhere else. Good lord.

Ok they are harming people by hosting a fishy site with great cashouts and rakeback... sorry
