Title: Using a forum as a mailing list is bad mmmkay.
Description: Act for a spam free forum.
ElPresidente - December 27, 2004 11:17 PM (GMT)
Greetings all,
Considering the fact that when this forum was founded much use was made of the Hyperactive user database to source initial numbers I don't know if this is something that Evo would act upon.
As a user though I don't want spam pms. Gunfire_x21 has seemingly joined for no purpose other than pm'ing current users to join his forum.
Personally it is very annoying and I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way. A) It is an unfair and unsanctioned use of your own database (property you own) and B) it is against the spirit of a pm function.
As you can see I take a dim view of people using other's databases for their own gain.

I feel left out no ones PM'd me so. :( So you should feel good about it. Or not could be annoying? Wou;dn't know.

BrotherEstapol - December 28, 2004 01:55 AM (GMT)
What they hell!? :angry: When did you guys get the PM's?
Ok, time to use that admin panel of mine...
Thanks Pres, I had no idea this was happening, we'll get right on it. :thumbsup:
ElPresidente - December 28, 2004 03:05 AM (GMT)
The PM has been forwarded on to you B.E.
BrotherEstapol - December 28, 2004 03:31 AM (GMT)
Thanks for that Pres. :thumbsup:
We'll be dealing with this ASAP, and if anyone else has been PM'd, please tell us either through this thread, or via a PM to one of the Mod/Admin team.

His "Signature" is funny. I checked out his profile, and it had Revolution spelt in two different ways :P
BrotherEstapol - December 29, 2004 08:18 AM (GMT)
Yeah, I doubt we'll be loosing members over this one...but still, because of this his forum could actually get shut down. (it's breaking the InvisionFree Rules)

I still can't believe everyone got an inivitation to join his forum and he missed me. What a jip. It's like missing out on scoring an invite to the biggest party of the year and then having to stay at home cos the host missed you....
BrotherEstapol - December 30, 2004 01:24 AM (GMT)
Hey, none of the Mods got any either! :P
Still, I wonder why they missed a few of our frequent posters...
[m]averick - December 30, 2004 02:45 AM (GMT)
I am so bummed out right now...
Moggo - December 30, 2004 04:34 AM (GMT)
I didn't get one either.
*Hold me*
Pauly - December 30, 2004 01:24 PM (GMT)
Yay the wanker missed me too. Pretty funny IF got to him already :lol:
Texta - December 31, 2004 08:09 AM (GMT)
Muaha, just because Hyperactive didn't crack down on PM spam doesn' mean we can't :P
Oh and surely this should be a Bill for an Act for a spam free forum or did you just mean act as in take action?
Hello - March 3, 2005 08:16 AM (GMT)
I just got a spam PM from some dude, too, but it's not the same guy as Presidente. I'd like to think it's because I'm God's gift to foruming, but I don't think that's it. IT'S TIME FOR A CRACK-DOWN MODS!
ree - March 3, 2005 08:56 AM (GMT)

Fuck off ree. You have just shown you have read this thread and should know not to spam.
Someone delete this foo'

what a tool, you dont know what the fuck it takes to be a gangsta
ElPresidente - March 3, 2005 09:02 AM (GMT)
It is a joke you moron. If you are making your own gaming forums then I seriously doubt you are the kind of person who grew up in the projects.
Sheesh. How old are you? 8?
Now run along like a good little boy/girl (hey the female gender is just as capable of idiocy as guys).
ree - March 3, 2005 09:06 AM (GMT)
BAh close im 12. what do u have against me? i just asked u to go to my board. if you didnt want to, u should of said no thnx. and i didnt see no rule on this forum saying you cant do it. there probably is a rule saying you cant, but i didnt find it.
ElPresidente - March 3, 2005 09:24 AM (GMT)
It is called spamming. Rule on this board or not, using private messaging services to advertise product without prior consent is against the law.
That is what I have against you. Now contribute to the forum instead of using it as free advertising or scram.
~DC - March 3, 2005 10:10 AM (GMT)
Thankyou for issuing an apology ree but if anything like that happens again I'm afraid you will be banned from these forums.
