Part of the forum is trading we understand that. But we dont tolerate spam many users prey on noobs that register to this site and within minutes of signing up these new users have recieved trades or pms with referral links inside and this is SPAM. I dont care if you are a old member or new member if you do this you will be bant from the site. This is a warning to all our members. Also we do have a gratis rep on this forum and we will be working with him. If you are doing this you will be reported to him and most likely you will be placed on hold. So take this warning and understand what it means. You dont like spam in your email inbox and people dont like spam in their pm box.
Thanks
Stroid
so what if you dont put a link in?

what should I do if people attempt to trick me into doing a site by telling me to sign up and check the offers to see if I can find one when I put in my post that I don't want to do OC sites???

Yay! I hate when old members prey on n00bs who just registered & watch the newest registered user thing at the bottom of the frontpage.

this is what we are trying to stop
I will admit I have gone through some of the new members list and sent them PMs offering them a normal ammount of paypal if they do it.
I appologize

i did that a couple of time when i was newb but then realised it was against the forum rules so i stopped.
its kinda like the thing where mods had stickies in the trading post with what they were looking to trade for.....it wasnt fair to everyone else. this is the same, its not fair to "bombard" newbies with PM looking for trades when they could maybe get a better deal on the trading post.
Stroid
13-06-2005 14:42:06
yeah will about the stickies in the trading section they dont really help people only do offers they want anyways. and i think its ok we deserve a little special treatment i mean we do alot for the site you like your TR dont you somebody has to go through that and identify scammers and apply the credit.
theysayjump
13-06-2005 14:45:33
yeah thats true......maybe you could do it a different way then?
what about 1 sticky at the top of the trading post with what each mod is looking for and a link to the thread or something like that.
i do think you should have something since you guys do put alot of hard work into the site.....i didnt think about it like that.

13-06-2005 14:58:19
keepin' it real.........the only thing i didnt like about when mods had stickies was that it was all cluttered and shit.......for me sometimes it was confusing.......i think it should be brought back though, cos you guys dont really get much else in way of a "reward" for the shit you do.

i never had a problem with the mod's stickied trade posts. It was kind of like a privilege of being a mod. I did have a problem when someone was just made a mod and then a day later his post was sticked and when there were like 5 stickied mod trading post at a time lol.

You will know everything at the right time.
Is not related to spam or sending links to noobs.
It's a mistake (not mine), not mod/admins - BUT I misunderstading that another MOD will clarify.

Matt, nothing against you as an established member, but that really can be considered spamming, and has been in the rules as long as I remember. Ignorance is not an excuse to break the rules )
[quote9aa4a9d988="Admin"]
1) No referral links at all. This any type of referral link for any site, posted anywhere, INCLUDING YOR SIGNATURE, or sent via email or PM. This is a zero-tolerance policy--you WILL be banned. Spam your link elsewhere.

Yes, after uwmarchitect replied to my post in the "Help" forum about this saying that their was a sticky/post by Stroid saying i couldnt..i went and looked for it.
[quote6b92eabe46]They made a post about not spamming n00bs with referral links in PMs...maybe that was the problem?
