Anti spam system & new rules

Julien wrote:

Hi,

in order to ensure quality to our users, and to considerably reduce the number of spam sent by private messages, we decided to set up a few new rules.

But we'll start with a few explanations.

Our definition of spam ?
Unsolicited emails or private messages.

How we detect spam ?
90% of spam is sent by new users
90% of spam are "copy and paste messages"

Please, please...
Don't send the same message to several users without taking the time to explain us how we could help you on the forum.

If you are a new user and if you post more than 5 copy and paste messages, your private message system gets blocked.

Stop asking us to unlock your PM system
You can unblock your private message system by yourself. How can you do that ?

Please take the time to present yourself on the forum, to participate to a few discussions (with real answers), and your private message system will be unlocked. That's it !

Hey i do not copy and paste with my mail box, why i am be locked private message? Let explain for me please ????

Ok rules well understood. Now can it be unlocked or not as its quite annoying when I cant PM anyone. So let me know. Many thanks

Sending PMs advertising your products or services generally brings lots of reports and your system will get blocked.
This isn't quite the same as the forum stopping you, more the members you've annoyed

Ok noted. Thanks

Sure well noted

noted.

The anti-spam is good.  But it should not work with people who are connected i.e. you're friends.

Spam is spam and is not permitted on this forum, even if it is between friends.

@tzsandoz3

Your post is 

Post it on the appropriate country section of the forum.

What I sent was hello. to perhaps 10 people.

So, firstly, it's not a spam.  second, it's not copy paste, same messages. third, it should be allowed to people in your contacts.  I can send all of them hi on a regular basis, that should not be a problem.

Same message sent many times is considered to be spam,even if it is sent to your contacts.
It is, and will continue to be a problem if you carry on as you are now and the likelihood of getting banned presents itself.

It should also be noted, you'll reblock your PM system if you spam again

I can't sent message,my message is being block.
how to unlock it..?

Yet another new member who has never read, understood or followed the rules which he agreed to when joining up. You agreed to these rules when joining by ticking the "I agree" box but did not read them.

Your message system is not blocked, it has not been activated.

You have to earn the right to have your system activated. Simply joining up is not enough. No one wants to receive unwanted messages from complete strangers. This is done to stop trolls sending out spam to members.

To activate your system, read post #1 on this thread and also the hundreds of other posts here that explain how.

FYI

Any posts here on this thread will not count towards having your message system activated.

I got the answers of being blocked and will take care of next time.

Kindly unblock me.
Thanks.

oooh, sorry i made same mistake.
so my private message blocked now.
Anybody had same situation?

How long will it take?

Oh great im not the only one who is blocked. It is so unfair I just sent hi to 3 persons

It was never blocked.

You have made the same mistake that hundreds of other new members have made, and that is failure to read understand and follow the rules to which you agreed to when you joined up and ticked the "I agree" box.

Read post#1 on this thread along with the hundreds of other posts here that explain how this forum works. You have to post a number of times on other sections of the forum with meaningful, informative and topical posts.

You have to earn the right to have your pm system activated, so until you follow the rules your system will not be activated.

No we will not unblock you until you you follow the forum rules. Post#1 on this thread explains it all.

Sending the same unwanted message to complete strangers is considered to be spam on this forum.

You are one of hundreds of new members who do not understand how this forum operates.

This forum is not a message board but a forum where members can exchange information and advice. You have to earn the right to have your message system activated.

Read, understand and follow the rules laid out in post#1 in this thread and you may just be on your way to becoming a contributing member of the forum.

But sending unwanted messages about flats is classed spamming this is why your system has been blocked. Follow the rules outlined in the first post and your PM system will be activated once more.

Hi,
Thank you for the explanation about the rules for spam filters...
I can ensure you that I'm real and don't want to disturb anyone by any means.. I just joined this site and want to make friends, exchange ideas etc..
I'd be very careful from now on about how to write to other members and I hope you unblock me as soon as possible...

Regards
Dani

iam sorre

thank you
