Paycom and MeatHoles don't mix (drama)
 

i've been arguing with Paycom for a few days now about this...

here's an excerpt from their email to me on the subject:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As far as doing business with XXXPlugIns/MeatCash that is not a problem. Providing access to www.meatholes.com is a problem. The owner of www.meatholes.com is aware of the issues of new members accessing their site.
Please remove access to www.meatholes.com on all your sites and contact us when this is done.
Thank you for your quick response to the requested removal.

Regards,

Paycom Compliance

it seems that if i process with paycom, i am no longer allowed to have the leased plugin feed for MeatHoles in my members areas... they refuse to tell me why and are making me remove links

forget about this being fair, is this even legal?

Why wouldn't it be legal? Apparently they don't find MeatHoles to be in compliance with their guidelines?

i was just wondering... since i'm not billing meatholes why am i in violation? simply for providing leased access to a perfectly legal site?

If Paycom deems the content on Meatholes to be obscene and could jeopardize their merchant account status with Visa/MC, I could see that as a reasonable request. After all, members subscribing through your service (via Paycom) accessing Meatholes could be seen as a way to access obscene materials and put paycom at risk. It seems like a fair request to me if that's the case.

Uhhhh that pretty much IS billing for meatholes, at least in part.

take it down to make them happy then put it back up in like 3 weeks, ;-))) fuck 'em

Yeah very smart, and lose your billing.

Meatholes Rules

anyhow, just wanted to vent more than anything...

it's reasons like this that Paycom will always be a back-up biller for me, nothing more

unless of course CCBill are DDOSed, then it's a 3-second flick of the switch in NATS :)

I wonder what will happen when ccbill is having a problem with it, too.

Paycom is a business, and they have to run it as they see fit, which is generally in the best interest of all their customers. CCBill and every other processor does the same thing. They're not all going to always agree on what's best and what's not.

I'd rather have them tell me there's a problem, rather than just suspending my account.

what a bunch of pussies. they will process your site which has chicks puking on each other but don't like meatholes? um....

Damn that sucks I can understand them wanting it down if it means thier business being harmed but at the very least they should explain to you why, It's the professional thing to do.

Interesting, did this just come up bro?

Easton,

First, I must say that posting an email sent directly to you which includes the name of another program isn't the wisest thing to do. I'm sorry if you don't understand this or if you disagree with any policies that we have put forth to protect not only you and your business, but the businesses of all clients that we process for.

Further, although we are not looking to be in a position of saying what is and what isn't appropriate, we also reserve the right to restrict the types of sites that we process for. And yes, to be clear, you can't link to any restricted site any more than you can link to beastie sites or CP. Linking may be construed as affiliation to any governing or regulatory body that might look at your site.

My guess is that we are going to see more and more of this. This is normal, they wanna protect their asses. Before, once you got approved by the bank, you could pull pretty much anything on them... I bet they will monitor the shit very closely from now on with all the heat on this industry

Have you discusssed this with anyone at EPOCH after getting the email?

My dealings with them in the past have always reached a workable solution.

Good luck.

I've nothing against Meatholes, but... it's reasons like this that Paycom will STAY IN BUSINESS to be your back-up biller. :thumbsup

hey man, whats up with the new billing in your sig?
