<p>[QUOTE="Peter T Davis, post: 948488, member: 1"]Sorry about the spam guys, but thanks very much to everyone who reported it. Generally, I don't mind people talking about other coin websites, even if they compete with this one. The line we draw here, in general, is that you can put a link to your site in your signature, and you can use the advertising sections as they're meant to be used, but spamming is as off bounds as it is for the porn, pills and poker crowd. You all are right that this guy went way beyond crossing the line. I don't know if he used some bot or something to spam, but he sure did get a lot of them sent out by the time I cut him off. It's totally unacceptable behavior Since this offense was so egregious, I've taken the additional step of censoring the name of the site. He has also earned a lifetime ban from CoinTalk, if you see him here on a different account please report him to me. I especially want to thank again those of you who reported the spam (there is a report button in the private messages just like in the posts). Since, by policy, neither I nor the moderators do not read private messages unless they're addressed directly to us, we don't know about private message spam until you tell us it's happening. Thanks for helping us to keep CoinTalk spam-free![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
