If they don't want me advertising my sites on their network they should refund my money. Otherwise, they are thieves.
Unless it is explicitly stated in their terms of service linked from every page of the site. That's our current policy to prevent scammers from advertising.
Yesterday we received an email from moriartybitcoin, we replied in ~3 hours in order to resolve the issue, but he started a smear campaign even before that:

Here is our reply:
And after that he started to threaten us and doing this:
http://bitcoinscammer.com/ (wow, he registered a domain for us yesterday!)
http://bitscams.org/bitcoin-scams/bitcoin-web-scam/a-ads-com-scam
This is the link to his campaign: https://a-ads.com/campaigns/3292
You can see that he deposited 0.1 btc, not 1 btc as he claims in http://bitscams.org/bitcoin-scams/bitcoin-web-scam/a-ads-com-scam
Unfortunately all his further emails and actions confirm our initial suspicions.
PS: Here is our official thread at bitcointalk.org: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140822.0
That's absolutely right, and I will NOT stop until you refund my 0.10 btc which you simply STOLE from me. Outright theft.
I'm preparing to make an announcement about your scam service to all users of my websites, email lists, etc. Also, I'm going to invest some time and energy to ensure that you are exposed as a fraud and ripoff.
You cannot simply play judge jury and executioner because you own a site.
To be frank with you I don't quite understand why you prefer to spend time and energy to "play judge jury and executioner" yourself instead of responding to the direct scam accusation and getting your money back:
1. Did you accept at Bitlaunder.com 131+ BTC from rickyjames for mixing, yes or no?
2. If yes, did you finally deposit 127+ BTC in rickyjames-controlled wallets, yes or no?
3. If yes, where are they on the blockchain or in your records?

It just doesn't make any sense to me. Please reply to these questions of the person who claims that you stole from him and I will activate your ad with a 'shady' tag and you will be able to advertise or to get a refund if you like.
