I once sent an email to the whole city council, county vector control and the CDC about my old apartment complex and their rat problem. Awesome results!

I know someone who was consistently woken up at 4 am by their kid's school's robo dialer, telling them school was cancelled due to snow. Evidently, it wasn't enough to send emails, text messages, update the school website, and have the local news channel broadcasting the information.

Anyway, acquainted called the school asked them to stop. Nothing. He got together other annoyed parents. Nothing. Wrote to the superintendent, etc. Nothing.

Later that winter, another call came through and he flipped his shit. He hired his own robo dialing service that called the superintendent and every member of the school's board randomly between 4 - 6 am for a week asking them how they liked being woken up at the crack of dawn with useless information.

They added an opt-out option shortly after.

lol, this is a gd deal man, of course you'll find haters, even in this thread.

if you say that u don't support this idea and then go about commenting against this thread, aren't u already wasting your time? aren't u contradicting urself? there are many people who don't agree to this, who might read this and then walk away cos it doesn't bring any benefit to them, try to be like them. if u take a step further, those who really cherish their time, the title would already not make them into this thread.

now, gg towards more constructive things... I like the idea, I would've created this thread myself!

now we got a list of people who are keen on this, lets take it to the alley and prevent further "I don't like this idea" comments. concentrate on those who has a purpose. update each other with the latest tactics to get what we want.

in summary, people call it revenge but I call it satisfaction.

if u were to give me an option to either choose all the money in the world or happiness, its apparent even to those haters. think abt it.

What the fuck??? I know this guy is trying to say something, but I can't for the life of me work out what it is. Maybe Google translate is broken.
 
Seeing these problems all day everyday I can say if you want to receive an I'm sorry and get something for free or discounted than go to Twitter (as adhustler said) but most companies that screw you over probably dont have a twitter so thats not a feasible solution.

Aside from RoR which is one of the strongest you could do everything from press releases (if you feel compelled to spend money to let the world know about an unscrupulous individual or company), pissed consumer, company name sucks, as well as the creation of parasites (.wordpress, blogspot, posterous), and others that you cant just pick up the phone and call the hosting company to complain. A possible solution to the attackee would be to have to hire all star lawyer like Aaron Kelly and an amazing reputation management company to solve the issue.

Also throwing xrumer blasts and posts to a few thousand forums from a misc. proxy would help too.

You should only do this if you have a legitimate problem :)

So years ago there was a UPS driver who was delivering things to my GF's office building. Her office was mostly young attractive females, so this guy used to just hang around the office and try to chat them up.

My GF was asked to call UPS and complain about the guy, and when they told him to knock the shit off, they actually gave him her full fucking name. Later that night when she went home, he was parked in his truck outside her house. No joke.

I called UPS to get it straightened out and they tried to stonewall me. I got the full name of the person I was talking to, and I started reading off names to her from Jigsaw.com of various managers, directors, etc and told her I'd be e-mailing them all to let them know how she had handled a very serious and potentially dangerous situation.

I also mentioned that, while my GF is 5'4 100lbs, I'm 6'5 and a gun owner, and if he shows up again he's leaving feet first and I'll be announcing her name to the media and to the police when they ask what happened.

Two days later the guy was in a police station crying in a room full of cops and private investigators. So say what you want about "wasting your time", but the shit works when you need it to. Nobody wants their name attached to this shit, especially when you tell them that every employer who googles them for the rest of their life will read whatever you want them to read. Losing your job is almost guaranteed if that happens.

That's a 100% true story, albeit the most extreme example I have to date.

How do you know he was crying?
