Thumbs down Unsolicited PM's - DONT!!!!

This is something we haven't had much of a problem of until now, but I've had to warn a member whose been trying to sell products by PM'ing people.

If anyone gets any unsolicited PM's, please let me or any moderator know, (via PM ) and we'll jump on it.

Anyone thinking of hawking via PM, if I get a complaint, your banned, end of.

Conversations should take place on the open forum. Only PM another member if they have invited it, eg, PM me for more info.

Apologies lol not really forum lingo, probably regional.

Default thanks

thanks for the education. I will find international forum interesting and challenging. Communication is a art, any wonder it is as effective as it is, considering differences in culture, location, slang, skill of writing, and now countries.

I guess that is why the Tower of Babel fell. And that is a whole different story.

Steve got to say that this is a forum where we haven't had this issue, on other forums it has been a bit of an issue but got to say that you guys do a good job of keeping quite on top this matters.
