It's just as annoying as TV ads.

I know what spamming is, and there is a difference in the tv ads and spamming, which is that t ads are paid for!

Paid or not. I think it's still wrong. Some ad's are okay for the good/free service they provide. But some people take advantage of this and really over do it.

I can understand ur point Admin... Even I get few requests time-to-time for some help related to computers & internet... but the no. isn't too high yet... so its not bothering me... I'm yet to get a spam PM concerned with advertisement...

Why are paid tv ads bad?

Vishnu is that you, with a different name and icon?

I think that any spamming should be reported to Admin, nothing to that!

Its not good for the forum and the spammers gets away with doing it the dirty way by sending private messages, like Admin said why not include it in your signature!

I never said paid ad's are bad. But, TV Chanel producers keep watch for the program rating, and shows the most ad's for the best TV show. Aren't they taking advantage of us by doing that. We are being forced to watch all those Ads.

I agree with that. Is there a report Button for PM's. I don't remember.

Well getting away after spamming is not the issue. It's about spamming. A way to stop people from spamming or thinking about spamming.
