What discussion forums or web sites do you visit?

Board Spam and the post in question should be deleted.

Take yourself, for example. The accusation leveled at you on the Friends In Buinsess board is correct.

Here is HOW we know your messages are Board Spam...

1. Same message to many boards.

2. No participation in any of the board discussions.

3. No "history" at the board - your oldest post here goes back less than one week (September 6).

4. Free email accounts.

5. Extremely short posts with a link to whatever you are pushing. Usually a question and hardly ever a helpful post.

6. When questioned about it the reason given is always something like: "trying to get as many different opinions as possible."

There are very few exceptions with legitimate reasons for cross posting on multiple boards. Even so, none of the exceptions fit the six points above.

Bilal, the board owners have been online for many many years and have seen and know of all kinds of "tricks" to get around the "No Blatant Ads" rules.

If you want to ask a question because you really want to know the answer, then ask WITHOUT leaving a link (the ability to leave a link is a favor granted by the board owner and not your right).

If you really want different opinions, ask your question on no more than two boards. Those with enough experience to give you the answer visit many boards and will see your question.

And if you respond to this post, the first sign to show us you truly want answers and are not just posting to get a link in is, to post without leaving a link.
