If you choose to ignore this important restriction, all your accounts will be disabled. mbkweb / speedbooster please choose a username. ONLY MY "PASSWORD" MATCHED, so you admins even look at the password to see that its the same useR? thats not ethically correct. thats what i wanted to check so i chose the same passwords. 2) my first account was banned because i openly represented my company and said that WE OFFER....... but why dont you ban those who represent/PROMOTE their company in their signatures? 3) why dont you ban those who promote OTHER COMPANIES and dont say that they belong to them, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT THEY DONT BELONG TO THAT COMPANY? MANY POSTS HERE SAY, "Hi, I have been using xyzcompany.com for my 5 sites and never had problems" HOW WOULD YOU KNOW HE ISNT FROM THAT COMPANY? AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE WHOLE HOSTING PLANS IN THEIR SIGNATURES Thanks Nick H 11-23-2006, 04:29 AM You are permitted a maximum of one account, active or inactive, regardless of how many companies you represent.

Though, with that attitude, I wouldn't be surprised if they just banned this account too and called it a day. KNL-BSW 11-23-2006, 04:32 AM There are more ways than one to skin a cat, and more ways than one to find out what user on a forum is using more than one username (aside from your password). Dmain 11-23-2006, 04:48 AM Well, advertise your company in your sig. No one is going to stop you. anon-e-mouse 11-23-2006, 04:53 AM Weird, and here I was thinking the OP asked about Private messages :crazy: Nick H 11-23-2006, 04:56 AM Weird, and here I was thinking the OP asked about Private messages :crazy: /me thinks it could be bipolar. mbkweb 11-23-2006, 06:06 AM How long will this ban stay? anlene 11-23-2006, 08:31 AM I don't think there's any expiry date:confused: bear 11-23-2006, 09:08 AM my first account was banned First account? You are permitted a maximum of one account, active or inactive Seems pretty clear. ONLY MY "PASSWORD" MATCHED, so you admins even look at the password to see that its the same useR? thats not ethically correct. Ethical or not, it's incorrect. We can't see your password at all. ;) What does this all have to do with PMs? mbkweb 11-23-2006, 01:40 PM Because my PMs were banned and the reason was 10 points given to me saying "You already have an account. Choose between speedbooster(old account)/ mbkweb." catfished 11-23-2006, 03:05 PM mbkweb, Now you're putting "free" in your sig. According to WHT rules, "free" is considered a price and is therefore prohibited in sigs. I highly recommend that you read all the forum rules before posting anything else.

A shill always gets exposed very quickly, usually because the shill thinks he's "getting away with it" and starts promoting the host in every single thread. Even the ones that lay low get outed eventually. AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE WHOLE HOSTING PLANS IN THEIR SIGNATURES Thanks Cite some examples? That's against the rules of course and you should report those violators if you see them. But I read most of the threads in the Web Hosting Forum this morning and didn't see a single one. |
