Our band Holleestar is developing a big following rather quick thanks to myspace. We are hardworking dedicated musicians. Could you in anyway help us be featured on myspace music?

Perhaps there is another reason as to why it’s taking so long to clean up the neighborhood. MySpace is not as deaf, dumb, and blind as they seem to be…it’s for show. It seems to be common knowledge that they only care about their revenue and being that spamming is now such a booming market who’s to say that Fox doesn’t want a cut of the pie for themselves? Not to mention that it goes hand in hand with their practices on distracting the masses from the important issues in the world with entertainment. If they can do it with porn under the table and undetected then it’s a great blow to the power of the people. Or should I say power of the puppets…slaves to iPods and Playstations. Slaves to reality shows and pornography. Slaves to the oil industry and gas guzzling SUV’s. Multi-billion dollar companies have invested millions of our forked over dollars to misinform and mislead us into slavery. Slaves to MySpace and their obviously blind eye to spam.

Re: girluninterrupted
Yay!!! Someone with some decent arguments.

“Actually, most of them are significantly more qualified than you are”
I find it hard to believe that “most of them” not only have the odd mix of knowledge I do but are also “significantly more qualified”. The current state of MySpace security as a whole speaks volumes. And, if you are right: management should be ashamed of themselves for not allowing those ninjas to be effective.

“The problem then, is with support on the development end of things.”
Have you paid any attention to the new features rolled out by MySpace? The code monkeys they have now are overflowing with talent. Sounds like the security team just needs better access to them…

“They need about five more developers thrown into the mix with a couple actually assigned to their team”
You sure seem to know a lot about their specific needs…

“I’m going to suggest that what that the team needs is not another…”
You might want to read the job advert for the gig I was going for. It wasn’t a coding position, Smarty Pants.

“arrogant, demeaning person”
You obviously haven’t gotten past the surface with me. I HATE nothing more than elitist snobs. I’m also a realist and call stuff as I see it though.

“I assume you quickly discovered that Sarah K. is the Director of Policy Enforcement”
Yeah, I saw that. And, nothing I said here was specifically negative towards her. If you find the term “chick” to be demeaning, you really need to lighten up.

“1. You’re not special…”
You calling my momma a liar? lolz

“alienated them with your misunderstanding of corporate structures”
Everything you’re saying makes it sound as if you have the inside scoop on a bunch of talented people being held back from being effective at their jobs by management. I don’t have any inside perspective on this so I simply don’t know if that’s the case. If it is, I hope my “not so special” / “vocal” ass at least shakes things up a bit for the benefit of the rank and file people.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that despite everything, you apparently had a small contingent of supporters(or at least people who were reasonably glad that someone was vocalizing their own thoughts) before you alienated them with your misunderstanding of corporate structures.

Oh come on, do you seriously think that a team of people who deal with these spam/phishing/affiliate issues every single day don’t have any ideas on how to fix them? Here’s a hint - most of them aren’t actually referred through a temp agency. Actually, most of them are significantly more qualified than you are, and are constantly developing ideas and processes to make their jobs easier. And a bunch are smartasses, like you are, so it’s not as if it lacks for personality.

The problem then, is with support on the development end of things.

I’m going to suggest that what that the team needs is not another smartass with good ideas that may or may not be an arrogant, demeaning person who at face value, looks completely incapable of working within a team structure. They need about five more developers thrown into the mix with a couple actually assigned to their team. Yeah, you can explain shit to coders? Greeeat. Woo hoo.

If you don’t get the job, this is probably why:

1. You’re not that special. Your ideas are not that special and your findings are not that special. You’re just vocal.
2. You made a shitty impression. Oh, people heard you. I don’t suspect you go into job interviews with a holier-than-thou attitude, though. Because the way people get away with a superiority complex on a job application is to make sure that #1 does not actually apply to them.

Oh, and since you know how to use Google, I assume you quickly discovered that Sarah K. is the Director of Policy Enforcement, and dismissed her as “some chick” anyway. If you get that far, I wonder if you’ll talk to her that way during your interview?
