Advertising in PMs will not be tolorated

*Sinistra* · May 29, 2005, 08:57 PM

I and I'm sure other mods have been getting reports of people spamming up the PMs of our members. I have a few things to say to these people.

1) go spread your site on some other forum we will not tolerate your spammy bullcrap on this site.

2) Anyone Reported by a Member of spamming the PMs will be submitted for a ban request

If you would like to advertise your site Then put it in your signature this is what you use to promote your site.

I'm sure you PM spammers are all "Well how do I get members to my site" well one thing you don't bug them or do shameless plugs and what not if they want to look at your site they will click on your link in your sig Not because you PMed them. Just a valid note PM spamming is against the rules of this board and is a bannible offence. So stop your pathetic spaming of the PMs and advertise your site like anyone else dose.

I received a pm like this once. I forgot the name but the site he told me was somekind of "pirate" forum.

I got that one too and reported it, then had a friend DDoS attack it. As you can tell even the slightest bit of spam like that sets me off in ways you don't wanna mess with. I wonder if it's back up yet?

*Cybergig1* · Jun 01, 2005, 05:54 AM

its not exactly a new idea its been a rule for nearly 2 years ¬_¬

also I immediately ban anyone who does this, theres no consideration process. your just gone.

I was approached so to speak, but I would not call it spam.

Gig, I thought it was older than 2 years. I have been here for 2 years this july, and Im pretty sure its more than a few months older than me.
