Were they warned to stop already? I'd at least give them a warning first...

Yeah...going after people for just posting their ref link ONCE is extreme.

It's humorous how FreePay takes this "serious" stance against spam, yet they have no means of reporting it available on their website. Instead, you have to be aware of this relatively obscure forum and the relatively obscure FreePay representative who posts on it, occasionally.

Maybe that's why I can't view more than three separate forums without running into someone peddling their FreePay referral link.

Dang Drunkmonkey,
Give him a break. Don't you have anything better to do. Email him first at least or something.

Give me a break. This website has about 20 different forums. The guy created a user name that day and spammed his link on about 4 or 5 of the busiest ones before he was banned. He was in the News forum, the Baseball forum, the Football forum, the Hockey forum, etc. The ONLY posts he ever made on the site were spamming his links.

Yes, I have better things to do, but it's not like the 1 minute I spent reporting him stopped me from doing those things. Don't you have better things to do than complain about what I'm doing?

Maybe you should consider contacting us via the Help page in your account(s) or contacting me via PM (which I answer on a daily basis with the exception of weekends).

Exactly.. Plus, if Freepay had a spam-submission form on their webpage, I can only imagine how many people would be turning in people just because they don't like them, etc.
