WHEW, just got my posting privileges back after GERALD WALLS complained to Jill the Webmaster saying I spammed this board with my Interactive Entertainment Index @ home.earthlink.net

Watch what you say around this Gerald character. He won't hesitate one bit to run off and tattle to Jill the webmaster.


I sent an email asking that you be given a warning as your profile shows that lately you only post identical canned messages to multiple threads. If there had been recent non-spam messages in addition to your minor spam I'd have said nothing. I didn't ask that you be banned and did not know that you had been until now.

However, spamming should be treated harshly because if it isn't SI will become as spammed as Internet News is. Do you think that people paid for a membership to give you a forum to post spam? Since Sept 3 this is your 2nd non-canned message out of 29 total. Before that date it doesn't appear you spammed. What changed?

I've only complained ("tattled") about three spam violators in the about two year's I've been a member. I guess you're just one of the lucky ones.
