AW Community,

Thank you for your support, AWCOM sent me this message:

--- quote
After revaluation of the world "XelaGsuX" we found that it is a direct
attack on another user and does violate our guidelines. This world
has been removed and I apologize for any frustration and inconvenience
this confusion may have caused. Please feel free to contact me
directly if you have any other concerns or questions.

I am personally satisfied by this reply. I hope this kind of incident
will not happen again. Assignment of trial worlds is an automated
automated process. When I personally phoned AWCOM to explain the
situation, I was told their decision would be sent by email. This was
what I received:

--- quote
I spoke to our customer service manager and we can not take the trial
world down from the server.
--- unquote

AWCOM was broadcasting at the time, through their worlds list, a
personal insult at my address. Originally, this was an automated
decision, but AWCOM's reply was human and accepted the automated
decision. I did not accept this situation. . Indeed, as someone
pointed out, I could have been entitled to sue AWCOM for this. This
may be a normal procedure in the US, in Europe we do not usually feed
the lawyers the way you do, it is always a last recourse :) My
approach was to point to the 'moral' side of the issue.

This has been a very trying and tiring day for me. Thank you all
again for helping to set this right. My world, bots and services are
running again as normal. May I point out that everybody is entitled
to their own opinion (about me, about AWCOM, about the rest). If you
wish to fill your world with slander, you are responsible for that.
But if you, as provider, spread othe peoples slander, you - as
provider - are responsible for that. I wish the owner of the former
XelaGsuX world a lot of sucess and happiness, but since he/she never
revealed his/her identity, I would not know how to convey this
message. Maybe Radon can do that for me. According to my bot:

Radon is citizen number 322351, url www.andras.net/aw_ear

Bye,

XelaG :)

Well Xelag, I have 2 citizenships which means I have 2 free trial worlds
which I haven't used. You are welcome to use them at your convenience for
those 2 months until mid-december (when the accounts close). I will not be
renewing my citizenship for either one until AWCOM listens to me as well.

This may help you or may not, let me know if it will. I can give you my
email if interested.

Possibly, but right now Xelag is the only one whom I have seen handle issues
concerning Active Worlds in not only a positive manner but productive.
Everything from emailing him for help on the Xelagot program to having a
program I can enjoy without being swindled for more cash.

For Active Worlds to not screen his name before worlds are able to be seen
on a worlds list so that something like which just happened is wrong. I
think instead of wasting the 2 months a world could be up for free, it
should go to someone that knows how to use it. Active Worlds can pay the
cost running it.

I am glad the issue got resolved, but if it happens again then what?
