As per this forum terms of service, this would be considered "SPAM", right? It's a shame.
Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
I suppose in a sense it is....but would there be any complaints if it was, say...Nimoy or Sternbach or Okuda or someone of that sort having a chat at said website or any other?
Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
Exhibit A: This is his first and only post. Exhibit B: It has a frikkin banner in it. Exhibit C: The general tone of this post and it's title is that of a commercial Exhibit D: It has a FUCKING BANNER.
I put forward that this post indeed constitutes SPAM. Spam for good (?) things is still spam.

I wish Nimoy would unblock me on AIM. Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
you're right. i wasnt trying to argue the issue...just give benefit of the doubt.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
It certainly seems spammy, but I'm willing to believe some people might be interested in it. So I've removed the links. But I expect there's enough information left that someone could figure out where to go if they really want to.

LOL! Well he told me he won't unblock you on AIM until you move away from his bedroom window and stop stealing his paper. Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
And I wish Jessica Alba would stop begging me for wild sex every single day...

roflmao!
Ktrek - is that 4 in the morning GMT? Bummer if it is - I'll be asleep!

I think you're missing the point here, Alexander. If chumley shows his face here again it'll be a miracle. They spam, they leave.
Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
Well he has been registered here for 4 months before making his attack...
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
. . . And then waited 4 months to make his first post. Be a while before he can attain the Status of 'Tim-Like.'
Posted by Ktrek (Member # 1346) on :
Sorry you guys feel I "made an attack" and "spammed" the site. I do come here and read posts although I may not post. I knew about the chat and "assumed" that Star Trek fans, which some of you are, would be interested to know of an event in which you could chat with a "popular" Star Trek author. I see other posts about impotanat Trek or other related events. What's the difference? Just because it was my first post?
I guess since BookTrek has another chat coming up with another popular author I won't bother posting about it here!
You guys are insensitive, mean and cruel!

Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
Nah. We're just highly skeptical. And insensitive, mean and cruel.
It's just.. we never heard of you, and you suddenly come up with banner and a link. How is that not spam?
If you just introduced yourself, and asked politely if we would be interested (meaning, NO banner), it might have worked.
Posted by Ktrek (Member # 1346) on :
So is there a rule about not having banners in your signature? I would think I could put any banner I want in my sig.

Boo Hoo! We're cruel! (snicker)
What will we do without you, oh vital member of the Flare community?
Posted by Doctor Jonas (Member # 481) on :
It's called 'terms of service'. No exceptions. Read first, post later.
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
I'm sure you read this board all the time. And I'm sure you're such a long-term member of other boards, you've been a member of some of them since DARPAnet. But the fact remains you've still only made three posts, one where you spammed, one where you said surely it was OK for you to spam, and one where you said it was your ball and you're going home. Next!
Posted by Ktrek (Member # 1346) on :
OK...You guys just continue to make rude remarks but nobody offers to post a link where the board rules say that I can't have a banner in my signature nor inform members of upcoming Star Trek related events?
And Lee your interpretation of my posts is your right but I never said nor implied what you have said. I'm still here!
Kevin
Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
Images in signatures are technically impossibe, IIRC, since the IMG tag doesn't work in a sig.
Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :
Ktrek, keep it up and you're banned. Being a new member and all and from what I hear of you putting on a BANNER of all things means most likely you're nothing but a spammer. Oh I wish I could throw you in Jail like those two people in the US.
You can whine or bitch all you want, but the policy is simple: NO SPAM.
Where is the link? In the TOS that you clicked on and said "I Agree". NO SPAM.
