After knowing him for some time and talking with lots of people of CS Madeira Islands group, i'm 100% certain that all fabrications against him all lies.
Some of the following lies against him are the following:
- He uses the site for dating
None of the people he met on the site complained of that. In fact, he guarantees that he never tried anything and was always a gentlemen with CS.That can be easily proven by his excellent feedback and nice messages that people wrote him.
- He contacts people and ask them, if they are interested to do a trip.
Has proven, he rarely contacts people on CS, and the ones he contacts he usually just ask to share costs in one of his big trips.
- He is owner of the sites Madeira Island Info
This group is secret and has no afilliation with CS so there's no big deal in making part of it.
- He is owner of site Madeira Islands trips and tips and he tells other Cser that its other people that own the site
After inquiring, Jonas its not the owner of the site, but a private company. Jonas know the owner, and sometimes help people with information or recommend it because its a good site.
- He was expelled from CS Madeira Islands facebook group and come back with a fake profile Jason Smith (https://www.facebook.com/jason.smith.5895)
After asking administrator of the site, he told me he didn't expell anyone and that Jonas is the longer member of the facebook site of its own accord. Jonas Smith has can be easily seen in the profile has no correlation to Jonas since its a person that doesn't even lives in Portugal.
Has you may have seen know, these are fabricated and elaborated lies against one of the top 3 couchsurfers in Madeira, and certainly since he is a newcomer a lot of people are envious of his positive feedback.
Has you can also see in that discussion, older people with feedback, are supporting Jonas because they already know him, so this petition is for you to show you support to him.
Also, next wednesday, 4th of February there will be a meeting to show our support to him in the bar Number Two in Old Town, at D. Carlos I 54! The event can be seen here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/events/592820
For a better and nicer CS experience i urge you to show up and stand against all these lies and also to sign this petition to ban those members of CS!
