Adrian Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 (edited) Ok, I just got this PM Hi...i am sending you an invitation to join my new computer forums. I already have some good posters, and need more loyal members like you. i noticed you were a regular member here on neowin. My forums talk about more computer related stuff then neowin, stuff like modding, hacking, PC games, and we even have a flaming pit. We also have a new theme that a lot of people love. so if you have time to check it out, i would be grateful. i would also like for you to join us, because you seem like a nice person and a great friend. i hope to see you there.URL Removed Thank you.... ~Rocky~ Just thought I'd tell you... Anyone else got it? Edited April 23, 2004 by EmuZombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I got two of them......sent him a very interestingly worded response. Why oh why would anyone do this? :unsure: Because the can't get members on their own. So they feel by harrassing us they should get some good members. I never get spam, guess they don't like me.

Steffan Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Is there a way to prevent new users from using the PM system until certain amount of days? Or make them have certain amount of posts before they can use the PM system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted April 27, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2004 I thought they were already restricted until they made 10 posts? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushrat Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 If a mod wanted to , they can give me the URL and i can contact the webhost . I know a few webhosts i could get the word round and get the person's hosting suspended and banned . :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
