content: Quote from: topcircuit on July 15, 2013, 08:45:26 amyou cant avoid spamming... my advice, go to buy sell section, make an intro and website of your company, and make sure:1) your website is price/quotation and english language "friendly".2) you reply to anybody make query into your box, (or provide FAQ section in your web) we call this "customers support", even if they havent make any order we still treat them as "potential customers"3) deliver the service as promised. promise is what you showed in your web, you replied in the email and whatever you say or type or swear.

content: Quote from: Simon on July 15, 2013, 09:00:34 amIn Chinese, the phrase "report to moderator" may not have the same connotation, because "report" is a rather generic word so it might've been interpreted as "tell us about you"...

content: I don't care what a non english speaker makes of the reporter button, if he uses it to send a spammy message apart from having spammed the forum too (which i found because by spaming the report to moderator form he alerted me to his activities) he will get banned end of !

content: The spammer over report button guy is gone as he was starting to spam the forum too. The OP of this thread may stay as long as he plays by the rules. We are tolerant but spam is very quick to be put up and takes at least as long to take down.

content: This is the Wikipedia definition of Forum spamming;"Forum spam is the creating of messages that are advertisements, abusive, links to other websites or otherwise unwanted on Internet forums."Many forum posts have links to other websites and advertisements at the bottom of every message posted. See posts in this Topic as examples.

content: Quote from: croberts on July 15, 2013, 12:18:33 pmThe key phrase from your definition that you ignored is: " or otherwise unwanted on Internet forums" which is decided by u moderators and that is what our discretion as moderators is for and we use our instincts in selecting out the spam from the good stuff.
