So me sending a pm to someone saying " this might be of your interest" would be a cause for banning me from the site?
I have done that, several times. Both as jokes and as wanting to discuss or share info.

Yes I share MsUther's concern- I often find interesting sites & send the URL to a friend. Am I to be banned for sending Oz the name of a site dedicated to '100 different ways to wash a motorcycle?'

Should I send a PM first saying 'Oz would you like the addy of a site on bike washing?'

Please explain.

I have no way of knowing unless someone complains ---and then they have to forward me a copy of the PM ----a lot of people have home pages or forums of there own ---many do not want this information ----this forum did not build it membership off of spaming or posting the address on other web sites ---it did it by being a good fun place ----and advertising---

what has brought this about is I have had complaints ---about former members starting their own forum and instead of advertising some are PMing invatations to their new forums trying to build membership from this sites membership ---not a big problem but some of the ones they PMed did not appreciate it ---they do not wish to go anywhere else ----just like most do not like their email box filled with spam from unwanted information

so to answer your question if OZ complains and sends me a copy of a PM that is advertising another site ---yes you will be banned ---if he don't complain then I do not know about it and it must not be spam
