I get a lot of these kind of pm's on AIM... i dont really care, i just like to fuck around with the little kiddies... just wondering if you guys consider what they do as spam?

I think it's only spam if it is random....If they read a trade post of yours and offered a legit deal, but just wanted to work faster than PM's then I do not think it's spam. It's just trying to work out a trade, and w/ 1 quick PM then the trade can be set up.

Since he said he went to the userlist and just started contacting people, that is spamming

I get it but it doesn't matter. It's kind of useful in my opinion. You can make a good bargain some times. And if not just say no thanks and they'll leave you alone.

the guy did the same thing to me and i did a ref for him then he bitched in the scammer forum because i didnt go green instantly(took like 2days) i assumed he got my name from fig but it was totally random i hadnt initiated a trade for a while before that I actually hadnt posted in a week or so when i got a im from him so i know it wasnt from a thread i started.

It's spam if he was just iming people from the userlist. & lol @ him trying to turn it around on you and then blocking you

I love when idiots block you when they're the one in the wrong. Like this guy who IMed me after I stated in my post to only pm me and I said something smart alecy and he was like "you don't have to be an asshole" and then blocked me

edit and then I looked to get the convo and found out it was the same person lol
