Moderated: 1 Link to non-MFF forum removed The Admin from this site has made about 10 accounts on our site with the sole aim of advertising that forum. We have banned him and told him to go away each time but he keeps coming back. His link has been added to our censor, yet he still comes back time after time. As we are an SS forum, advertising other SS forums breaks our rules and he knows this as he was an ex-member. He joins and then PMs members the link offering them Staff positions if they don't report him. He will not give up so I decided to report the site here. As far as I am aware, action like this breaches the T&Cs he agreed to when he made the site. Please take action. _________________ Advertise4Free- Free advertisement at your fingertips Advertise4Free

That's not the case. You could try going to the forum hosts. If that doesn't work, allow them to have an account. This way you can keep track of them and their posts. You can also disable their ability to PM. (This is just an idea for how to deal with it).
