Hi all
I've sent this on to our SU, who, like most, have very strong views on this, and have asked them how we can discourage this kind of 'franchising' model.
IP/domain blocking is an interesting idea, but limited as most students will have plenty of off-campus access.
I'm not sure how different this site is to others but it certainly seems more blatant. Good reminder for us to talk to students about it, though.

But presumably we don't want to provide it.
Have colleagues also received this? Is there any action we can take to undermine these people?
Best wishes,

Lashzone has got many enemies, many profs and "academic" fans that are committed to their "Academic Integrity". We don't see what's wrong with what we do. We are trying to make this painful path of brain torture a bit easier, a path that will get these poor students nowhere but to make them the future slaves of society. We know some people don't like us and we respect their opinion, but well, your opinion isn't going to stop us.
We need your help. We want to localize Lashzone in every campus possible. Let's call it franchising, but not in the usual way. We want every campus to have its own little (secret) Lashzone group that has its own writers, advertisers and customer service team. This way, taking care of assignments would be cheaper, faster and more fun. Some people can make money out of completing them and some can get those time wasting assignments done with a lower price and shorter time.
With your help, Lashzone will become a relaxing place worldwide that lets students breathe freely while trying to actually learn something.
Remember, we are not trying to make any profit out of this, we just want to get the word out.
