I note that we have in fact been placed in one of the OG lists on this forum despite the fact that we have 60 retail locations..... go figure?

Doug -

I'm wondering if someone confused your stores with GrowerFlowers.com (the drop shipper), who at one time had more than 8000 affiliates, each with their own website. Some of those affiliates are/were big time spammers who used geographic misrepresentation via doorway pages to look 'local'.

I know you company's reputation is a good one. Being included on the OG list doesn't make sense.

There lies the problem with blacklisting in any business sector. As a member of this board I can add anyone's name to the OG list, justified or not.

In fact what a great way to ensure your local competitor (particularly in two or three shop towns) recieves fewer wire orders (oops did I say that out loud?) Unfortunately this process tends to be an example of mob mentality.

So how do I remove my website from the OG list?
Is there an OG tribunal?
Should I bring counsel?
Or do I really care?

Send me a PM with a link to the post and I'll have a look.

I think I saw an OG get voted off by the tribunal council on a survivor episode.
