Mark Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I've banned skysoldier for 3 months due to spam. Please bring these things to my attention and I can then take action. Private message me if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paula Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Can someone please explain to me, what is Spam/Spamming?Even though my son is a moderator of a community forum, I have never thought to ask him what spam is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Spam occurs when someone tries to slip in a link to something they're selling in a post or email. The post has no purpose other than to try to sell you something, even though they try to hide that fact usually (and usually quite lamely). The term comes from the potted meat product SPAM, but I'm not sure of how that term came to have the secondary meaning.

Catmom Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I looked in that forum and saw that skysoldier posted but there were no spam links in it that I could see. But spam or no spam, if skysoldier is banned, I would think that he/she should be unable to post at all. :confused: Hopefully, Mark can check into this.Catmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catmom Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I hope you did not take my reference to post length as a criticism. None was intended or implied. Catmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
