You can't have twinks but you can have cum guzzling anal whores? Doesn't make sense except that maybe twinks tend to look kind of young.

Simply a TOTAL inability to understand what twink is which is funny coming from a processor handling so many adult sites. Of course the definition has changed a little with the Internet to also include (mainly include these days?) teens which the original meaning of twink didn't - it was 20 somethings.
Makes you wonder why they bother with adult at all if they have that much trouble understanding simple and widely used terms. |

Everyone using Globill needs to stop and think about this. Bad business decisions that prove their lack of understanding of the industry and their unwillingness to learn and work with their clients is not a good sign.
Before you tell me how awesome Globill is and how paranoid I am, think of all the other processors that have gone completely under or gotten so shitty that people are constantly having to chase their checks, beg for support, etc, and think of all the little warning signs that came first. SpaceAce |

Ask them very specifically for what THEIR definition of a "twink" is.
Heck, that would put half the gay sites out of business! Sounds like a bunch of homophobers! |

Withhold judgement.
If VISA slap down 'twinks' as one of there banned words in the near future, then Globill are just doing what they have always done since the VISA fees appeared, be one step ahead of the game.

Twink has absolutely nothing to do with underage sex in any way, shape or form. Rejecting it no matter what company shows either a very low IQ or bad case of homophobia. |

I heart twinks, but the term could be interpreted as sort of the boy term for l*lita which, in the age of the internet, has come to mean some REALLY disgusting stuff.

It's a context thing. 'Boy', 'Young', 'Twink' it's all an area we know to be a minefield at the moment. I just think Globill have made that connection. That said, I am not saying they are right. Just that's prolly the thinking behind it.

Visa controls. If they think Twink sounds as bad as Lolita to the average joe, then I perfectly understand the Globill decision.
Change the term by 'young adult males' and move on. In some years from now, we will be in deep shit if we continue to walk on the border line. |

Basically "twink" means the same as "chick"
from here http://www.hurricane.net/~wizard/19t.html 1. a young man in his early twenties 2: someone under 21. 3. A young, sexually attractive person, who is sexually desirable for there handsome looks and build and not for his intelligence. 4. a homosexual; that is a social outcast. 5: a gay in his twenties or younger, that acts like he has no brain. The type that all the blonde jokes come from. |

Lolita has always had a totally different meaning. It only ever meant underage as it was taken from a book about just that subject. Twink is the total opposite. It really is a form of homophobia. A total lack of understanding or willingness to learn a little about a subject (you are otherwise happy to take dollars from) because you find it distasteful. There's no other real explaination. |

Glo-Bill shut down that notorious meatholes.com site as soon as they were notified. They seem to want to keep a clean book of business (cum-guzzling anal whores excepted of course).
I dunno but I have come across a number of gay sites screaming "TWINK!" all over the place that actually contained (illegal) underage pics. Maybe the term has become bastardized by a few bad webmasters, like the term "lolita". A number of processors don't accept sites that scream the word lolita either. I have sites with Glo-bill and frankly I like the idea that they are being strict with the type of sites they support. Their fraud scrub is excellent as well - does not throw out good signups but pinpoints the bad ones. Of course if I was running a (legal) twink site I would probably feel otherwise. |

Too much abuse by webmasters who use shit content without knowing if it's legal or not.
Too many crazies working in the government who are looking for scape goats to hide their incompetence. Too many Jesus lovers who are top executive at credit card companies. And you've got yourself a nice fucked up situation for the "honest" adult webmaster. Don't be surprised if in a few months the term teen also becomes illegal. So, no more lolitas, twinks, young and teens; instead we'll have barely legal adults

A processor should know better. Rather than 'anticipating' future VISA rules (and let's face it - we're talking about Globill here already openly flaunting VISA rules it seems) they should be protecting their intrests ie adult sites. Making what should be very acceptable terms banned or taboo can only help give VISA ammunition. CP sites should be shut down but not for using what should be acceptable adult terms especially in the gay community. If we start doing thata none of us will remain in business very long. Again though you cannot compare twink to lolita. Lolita = underage. Twink does not. |

All you people who think it's great when processors or CC companies start censoring should be happy when they really start censoring. A possibly reasonable rule would be that if it's very clearly illegal they don't allow it. They've already gone beyond that and no doubt they'll go a lot further before they stop. Just hope you don't have any domains with the word "girl" or "teen" in them.

Then make sure that you and anyone else commenting on my statements can read. I can ask if a particular processor is compliant if I want, and there's not fuckall you or your legal department can do about it. There is not one thing askance in my comment nor is it libelous, so get over it. IF Globill is processing for US based companies and settling those transactions in locations other than the US, as the rules are stated, their US clients are NOT in compliance as the rules have been explained by multiple processors who have read the regs, had their attorneys read the regs, and clearly understand the regs. Perhaps I should send an email to compliance at Visa and ASK THEM what they think of this situation? I'm sure at that point we can determine whether or not there's any libel, slander or miscommunication on your part to the webmaster community going on? Which way would you like to go with this? I don't think I'd rely on this board for my research that could potentially cause me serious business problems down the road. But then again, that's just my opinion. |

They don't know how lucky they are. But there is no point to threaten to raise shit for Globill. They were the first to " arrange" their " structure" to keep their clients. I understant that you push or use to push epassport, but it is still not a reason to justify your behavior.

This must be the clueless thread.
We have people who don't know the difference between a newspaper and a processor. Others who don't know the difference between slander and libel. A few who don't know what a twink is, and GloBill being clueless enough to ban twink sites. Gee I dunno, DirectFiesta, seems under the circumstances KK is actually holding it back pretty well. Not to mention ... what's the name of the board again? Right. So "unpleasant" on this board is considered down right friendly.

*shrug* Do you really expect VISA US processors, when anybody asks them about US companies, to say, 'Yup, it's okay, you can process outside VISA US for free'. Come on. Don't be so naive.

I love GFY. It points out all the stupid newbs when they reply to threads like this.
I think it's pretty safe to say - if you're using Globill and you are in the US, you're probably looking to get shafted by Visa. Visa WILL get around to fucking all of these non-compliant processors. AC Pay, Globill, any one of them that's processing for US clients but not settling in the US (Cross-border acquisition). As for Naive.. Lol. Funny coming from some newb who has no idea who Kimmy is or what she knows. For you people that aren't clued in: When KK speaks on issues regarding processing, regard that as the Word Of God. Anyone who's met her knows this.

I was thinking of starting a twink site with Globill so I emailed them after reading this thread. Here is what I just got - looks like they object only to the word, not site type or layout..
----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, Young teens, male or female, are acceptable as long as all models are at least 18 years of age or older. However, the words "twink" and "lolita" have come to be associated too strongly with underaged content, and it is simply the use of those words that we are currently not allowing. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with. Best Regards, Cody Thomas Technical Support Specialist ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Ele,
I just received the same EXACT response from GlobBill from the same EXACT person. I approached them as the owner of Gay Wide Webmasters and not a client (which I am). You'd think they MIGHT have taken a slightly different approach to their response. They evidentally do not know anything about the gay market. I can't wait for their next response to my reply that asks.. "when did that happen?" LMAOPIP Gary-Alan
