Advertising via PM

good rule!

what if someone pm's You asking you to do a job, and you respond, would this fall under the same rule?

I don't believe so, Robson is saying that people should not PM people advertising their website.

To be considered spam something needs to be unsolicited. If someone asks you about your services then they have solicited a response from you.

yeah, but robson's post didn't mention the word spamming.

So what if the original post didn't contain the word 'spamming' - it's clearly what the thread is about. Perhaps you should read more than the first post before jumping in.

Amen, read the full thing or none of it at all

Hmm, this is definetly a problem. There's a lot of this on my graphics forum as well. Pretty annoying stuff. Good luck getting everything sorted out. I know the feeling, ban somebody, they get pissed, somebody else gets mad, then it's just anarchy . Well good luck
