Aber Banned

[drmorgans]

I responded to a question someone posed this morning about web hosting. A couple of hours later I checked to see if there had been any other comments, the thread had gone and the poster had been banned.

Just wondering what circumstances lead to people being banned from AB?

Spam

His 'mate' (sorry someone totally unrelated) came along with a web address for just the thing he wanted - amazing. Form of advertising.

Breaking Site Rules... but suspect judging by the content that the thread was spam... and or a serial poster of said content.

Also I don't think this thread will last long either.

I did look at original post think it was first post, I just thought it strange that someone in IT was asking here for advice about web hosting.

the trouble spammers go to and then get banned, it's so sad ...

[ummmm]

I'd never heard of the Keto diet until they spammers bombarded AB.

You would have to ask the ED.

I replied mentioning a company I use. If its me you're refering to as "his mate" I would like to point out I don't know him/her.

In fact I don't personally know any other ABers.

[Captain2]

Tuvok, no I wasn't referring to you at all.
Sorry if I gave that impression.

We had another poster from Chennai advertising himself as a reliable web hoster.

[aelmpvw]

ah, Chennai, the haven for banned abers ...

[Old_Geezer]

Wow. Are we allowed to talk about why someone was banned ?
We all might be too now.

Captain that is a nice and easy location for a face to face meeting.
