    I got a bunch of pms fomr the same member about joining another forum like 4 of the same message in a row lmao..

    the weird thing about this forum is the mods dont move on this like this, and good users like myself cop the ban's!!!!!!! I was banned for 2 weeks becuase I apparently coppied some ones for sale thread and offered lower prices on the things they were selling eg myspace bulletins :S.

    this is a good forum but if it lacks on things such as good modding it can go down hill veyr very quickly...these small problems need to be fixed..

    I really don't have any idea what you are actually asking. You want us to manually screen people that are able to look at your profile, or?

    You can also use the Enable Instant Messaging Privacy option. Then only people on your forum buddy list will see your IM user names.

    lol, wow, a reply from the man himself. I feel honoured :D

    I have my MSN listed for other people here, who wish to MSN me in regards to if they like cars, they can & have added me and talked to me about that, or if they want advice on how to make an auto site, I can chip in and lend a hand with my experience, or if they know my site, they ca add me and say hi etc.

    Its rediculious to have my personal MSN spammed by some douchebag.

    I'd hate to remove my MSN from here, since other auto enthusiasts wouldn't benefit from a friendly car chat, or gain in anything I can throw at them in terms of previous auto website experience etc?

    Does that make sense? Its a shame to remove this possibility if the oppertunity is going to be misused by spammers.

    This is a great forum, but its shit like this that really bugs the fuck out of me. Its my personal msn, my boundary space. Its like someone invading my space because they want to try and sell me a stupid book on religion or something I don't care about on the corner of a street, by grabbing my arm, or standing infront of me to get my attention and ask me to donate to some worthless charity where they pocket every 80c in the $1.

    If I wanted "link building" I would of asked for it in a thread or PM'ed someone offering this service...

    /end rant.

    PS: Sorry to sound so bitchy :)

    Still not sure what you are asking us to do exactly.
