We always try to avoid these kind of posts on our forum since our users are mostly interested on using the RadarBox system and on its features.
Anyway we believe our users and our forum readers should be informed about what goes behind the scenes at this forum.
All of us have read during the last few weeks several topics and consecutive posts from some users reporting static problems with our system. Like any other electronic receiver AirNav RadarBox may suffer from problems in some specific conditions. Anyway it was strange for our team to find that from over 3000 units sold and with only about 30 returned, the static problem was being magnified so much.
We have just discovered that a user was developing and deployed a software to artificially raise the relevance of topics that continuously tried to undermine the success of the RadarBox system. Most of these topics were kept on the top of our forum with constant replies from the same user that developed this illegal activity.
This illegal software was running on an external server, refreshing the forum page on a specific pre-defined interval.
One of the criteria search engines like Google use to raise the position of a specific page is the number of views that page. That user was trying to undermine AirNav Systems image by artificially raise the view count of our forum topics related to the static problem. His objective was for someone searching for RadarBox at, for example, Google, would come up with links pointing to RadarBox problems instead of the system webpage.
According to the real-time statistics below, Most of our topics have no more than 15000 views. The topics mentioning problems with RadarBox suddently had over 30 thousand visits.

http://www.airnavsystems.com/forum/index.php?&action=statsAt AirNav Systems we take our reputation to a very high degree. We have all the personal information of this user and we will take this case to maximum extents possible under law.
Since the release of AirNav RadarBox and its tremendous success AirNav Systems has suffered an unprecedented pressure from those who don't like to see the success of the product. We have now a huge market share and this creates several problems to companies and individuals that were not used to see a strong company focused on software innovation coming to this market.
We are an honest company and we work hard every day to achieve the success we are having and we cannot accept that individuals like this one try, for any reason, undermine the image of AirNav Systems.
