Apparently Im a spammer lol

Daryn · 01-09-2012, 06:29 PM

I tried to join another forum today, I join lots of forums that interest me , I even own my own forums/websites and have to deal with spammers on a daily basis, but today I was turned down and the reason was I flagged up as a spammer, my god I was shocked lol I do nothing but help or learn on forums I never spam.

Ive given them links to several sites including this one showing my posts lol. Hopefully that should show them a different side to me.

Oh dear, spamming is mental at the moment, I think not just here but all over the web. Maybe people are getting overly suspicious

it can happen because IP addresses are not unique, more than one person can have the same IP

I wasn't allowed to join the RFUK forum because they said I was a spammer, lol

Their loss I say, lol

Daryn · 02-09-2012, 07:19 PM

No I didn't get that far, I give my email address and user name the same one I use on here and it denied me lol. I do have my website on my signature on here and if thats a problem I dont mind removing it mind but I get asked all the time on my site about signatures and I dont mind at all as it could be of interest to people, I think when its links in the posts all the time now thats what I call spam.

Me and my admin tried to find me on any spamming sites yesterday and I was not mentioned anywhere as a threat.
