Thinking of PMing other members to join your forums, check out your products or sending out other forms of Spam? Consider this a formal warning... sending unsolicited spam to other members is pathetic and will warrant a ban on the spot.

To all members! If you receive spam from another member, please be sure to report it to me or a mod.

Thanks!

Wow... didn't even realize it was THIS wide spread. People are just so pathetic. There are tons of ways to advertise your site on P2L in a legit manner, but some folks still need to be asses.

Yup, And most of the people that spam are new people who just join the forums to spam, I don't think I would mind, a ''Hello, I am new here, blah blah. Bye, oh and I have a site, blah''

Most of mine are from some where in between, people who made a name for themselves, one way or another, and then made some gfx site and now they are looking for members, i got like 10 of those.
