CASAA Website Has Poor Rating on Web of Trust - We Need to Fix This

[DeadbeatJeff]

Done, it's rating is green at this time, must have been a few ANTZ who found another way to screw with us.



I just searched for it and followed the link, took less than 5 min.

blog.CASAA is still orange on my end, "trustworthiness: unsatisfactory"

 

[DeadbeatJeff]

if you can source and back up your claim, rate the site accordingly and then leave detailed feedback on the reputation page.

BUT

please please don't use WOT maliciously -- It is a good resource and has served me well for nigh on a decade.

 

[DeadbeatJeff]

Just joined WOT and gave CASAA the top rating. How do you add comments? Also, when CASAA shows up in a Google search, it shows all Green except on the "New Study......" sub-category. Anyone know why and how we can change that?

Tried here to download for IE, but won't enable.

pro tip: IE is for people who don't know how to internet


I have a set of addons I;ve been using on FF for many years, and TBH I'd hate the internet, and by extension a good part of my life, without them

IMO this version of WOT is a load of crap. There is nothing real about it as it can come down to "I don't like it" = "Not to be trusted". It has nothing to do with the original WOT PGP keys that deal with suspicious sites based on page analysis for real things that are not to be trusted - like malware on the site, attempts to install it, and URL redirects. THAT'S the version that places like Google use to block your access to the site with a warning about problems before you go ahead and access it anyway, not this FF plug-in popularity contest crap. There is a big difference between site safety and site bashing.

yeah, they recently streamlined it (past few months)

It comes down to WOT seeing cassa.org and blog.casaa.org as two different websites. You need to be sure to go to each and submit your ratings.

Any URL that starts with the "blog" before cassa.org still needs more votes.

Thank you for the direction, Stosh. I just voted and provided a comment for blog.casaa.org. We need to keep this thread alive and explain to ECF members how to vote for both CASAA.org and blog.casaa.org.

 

[wv2win]

ECF members, take the 2 minutes to sign up for WOT and provide a positive rating for CASAA.org and blog.casaa.org.

ok did my share, your turn
It looks like it is still orange!!

I normally just use IE but I got on Chrome and installed WOT and gave CASAA a green.

It's worth the trouble especially because, aside from CASAA there are so few websites giving factual information about smokeless tobacco. Lots of hype sites about e-cigs (usually selling something) but few websites actually talking about harm reduction.

It might be interesting if we used this WOT voting on some of the websites spreading lies about vaping, voting them into the "Red" category.

Just a random thought.....

Umm, no.

May take a while to update ratings. I suppose we'll see.

CASAA links are all green except the study.

Go to blog.casaa.org and do the WOT rate there for the "study".

Sorry....I had only meant it as possibly a way of pointing out sites with extremely questionable, untrustworthy information. NEVER as an attack or trolling of any site. The lies and untrustworthy information, outright propaganda have made the joke "Of course it's true, I read it on the internet" so common.

did both, blog needs a lot of help!

Maybe this site could use a little love too? It's a global effort, after all.
