As I have posted before on this subject...I got shut down once for using the word "forced" in my description of a scene.

It wasn't taken in context at all...just a bot that scans your site looking for "banned" words!!!

I could write "She forced the mayonnaise jar open" and they will shut me down!

No, not just any site...but ONLY adult paysites.

It's not the "middlemen" doing that by the way...it's the credit card companies. And they are basically "God" when it comes to making money.

Anyway, they keep adding new words to their BRAM bullshit. So what they didn't shut you down for before...they will shut you down for today.

And they don't give you any warning. They simply shut you down. Then you have to try and figure out what happened (because they don't tell you). Then you remove the "offending" word and ask to be turned back on.

Couple of days later you're back in business (after losing money for a few days). It's ridiculous....but what can you do?
The credit card companies are a lot like half the people on GFY...they don't understand the difference between reality and a video that depicts fantasy. So they just make up a list of words and use a script to search for them.
forgive this lowly affiliate manager, but the BRAM compliance is done by the 'middle man' or the credit card processor, or both? so, in theory, if the compliance review was done by the middle man, would they give you a chance to fix the offending content, or ban you anyway?

So in this instance, was the credit card processor able to do a random search for a new 'bad word' within the 3.5 hour time period this seems to have taken place in?
