GTbill did not just get the merchant processing pulled for adult sites only. This goes much deeper. They are also in trouble with mainstream processing. I do not believe this is just about adult site content being reviewed. I know too many main stream merchants that were affected as well. Try this, call support and ask what is up, then call finance and ask what is up, and then call tech, then sales. You will get 4 different answers!
I was responding to the original post. I don't know of the rumors or what-not from different boards. I just know that we got that email 3 days ago. And were told that all billing processors are getting shit from Visa and Mastercard because of this spidering software they are using. If GT Bill has other issues I wasn't addressing that. Just what the original post said in it. It said that processing was stopping for "your" (the original posters) site. Which I took to mean just one site that wasn't in compliance with the new regulation.

Anything else I'm unsure of. We don't use GT. But I just wanted to make everyone aware of this new (and stupid) way that the credit card companies are trying to "police" the internet.

And like all software that tries to flag things without any human being on the other end using common sense and judgement, I fear it's gonna fuck with a lot of people.
