Just got PMed by someone asking me to do their site for cash; they included their referral link. I had indicated no desire to sign up for any sites for cash.

Who do I contact about this?

A moderator of course. I would pick KeithA or TheySayJump, although Keith will probably get to you quicker..

We won't ban you for this, and you aren't banned from the site--just from sending PMs.

This isn't something we do just to make life harder on users; we've received a lot of complaints about PM spam, so we're cracking down on it.

Maybe some day we'll be able to automatically prevent it, but for now we have to slap folks on the wrist.

[quotedc01ef4996="omron95"]ok but can i still received them because i am trading with some people ??? so can they still send some to me[/quotedc01ef4996]If you are offering to trade sites, or if you offer to do sites, then you can be PMed with sites. I think it is annoying when ref links are included, but if you say you are doing sites, then people will send them.

If you say that you are paying for sites, though, and someone PMs you about doing their sites ... especially if they include ref links ... then it is spam, and you will get in trouble.

Yes, you can receive PMs. But as I posted in your thread in The Trading Post, you should get their email or AIM addresses so that you can contact them privately.
