    Whatever happened to Fulhamfc6 or Fulham - "I wont post a link" - fc6 , a member for one day , 8 posts and banned ? :huh:
    Is that a forum record ? He only made 8 posts but he seemed to be on every thread I read , conveniently pointing you to one site or another.

    Didin't see that one Harry, I'm sure the mods can tell you better than me how many spammers come on here, its easy to register then post loads of dodgy links. It happens on all forums, just that ours is well policed and they don't last long before being chucked off.

    Advertising ones own business without permission is not allowed - especially putting links in. It gets jumped on very quickly. If you want to put in your own link you just ask for permission. Most that have done so then put alongside it that they have permission.

    It helps stop annoying advertising and possible commercially biased views.

    Well done, GC :dbgrtmb:

    I remember one a few years ago. Basically they replied to every post, always managing to start off on topic, then quickly drift onto the advantages of a certain product, which they just happened to sell. I have to say their determination amused me. It reminds me of the talking toaster off Red Drawf (Given that the universe is infinite.... would you like some toast).

    Ahh, it was this person who was confusing me with posts etc. and being banned.

    Being new to the forum is sometimes a little confusing in itself :what:

    [size=medium]It's a kind of a record, Harry.
    8 Posts before he got banned !
    Spammers are usually one shout and you're out ! They're off before the members ever see them.

    Delphinium gets its name from the Greek word “delphis,” which means dolphin.
