Hello, i'm new to your forums and have a question. Is it allowed for people to spam a newbies inbox with offers? I signed up tonight and almost immediatly had 3 offers in my inbox! I hadn't even posted yet, in fact this is my first post.

I had to inform these people that even though I may be new here, I'm not new to the freebie sites and sadly had to inform them that I have exhausted most of the offers out there that I can do, I am actually here looking for people to do greens for me or to find newer sites who are having free green promos. So I cant help those looking for greens.

I was just wondering if spamming the newbies is allowed? Seems like a good way to overwhelm them or scare them off. I know the other forums I am on it's not allowed. I'm sure it happens though.

Thanks

Well, I was tempted to report them, 2 of them joined recently and have 0 posts, yet have TR so obviouly I'm not the only one they hit up. But the third guy seems like a decent chap with high post and TR so I dont want to be a tattletale. Maybe seeing the situation out here on the board will make them a bit more careful.

Besides if I became a tattletale who would work with me )

Thanks!

Good thing your nickname is toiletpaper, you can easily handle that huge crap you took on this thread. =)

I [bb70430f802]hate[/bb70430f802] getting PM's from people telling me how I can make my first $15 by doing some TRAINN site for them. People may be new to forums, but not new to life. If you have 0 posts and somebody is making offers, you can gather that they are a troll.
