Admin Please

Could the admin who deleted my post pm me cause i did nothing wrong and i checked with vB and other forms providers what my post was about is not illegal and my post was deleted for no reason. I was accused of spaming and it was my first post in a long time and only like my 5th psot ever

Moved from the Lounge.

IIRC I deleted one of your spam posts, but I can't remember what it was about. Which forum was it in?

Can't tell why I didn't ban you although you have got a spam record here on dev shed (mods and admins can see that).

It was a post in the lounge offering to set up phpBB/VB/etc for people & providing a link to www.energy-X.com (where X is a 'b' for B-Con - don't want to link directly), where you found out that it will cost you $5 (IIRC).

I called spam, & reported it. I wasn't the only one who thought it was spam either - three separate users thought so too (as you can see by the OP's reputation received panel on his/her profile page).

My trolling powers are so great that even spammers try to bask in my glory

tell me how is it spam its a lil thing im trying to get going ot make a lil money and i didnt post it multiple times how is it spam?

it's still spam. wrong place to post that.

if a million people just posted one piece of spam. well let's think of that no more.

Check it out:



You posted a promotion/offer.
You sent it using your computer, to be read on computers; you used an electronic communications medium.
It was completely unsolicited by all that read it.

Here's the tricky one:
THe message was sent in bulk b/c you posted it on this board for more than one person to see (for many / lots of people to see - or so was your plan).

Your post is perhaps the purist form of SPAM. There are places that tolerate spam, devshed is not one of them.

Actually, I've seen definitions of spam that omit the `bulk' requirement too. This is one of the definitions offered by dictionary.com:
