Yep and he's almost at 50 so we'll see soon enough

MIKEGTR · 27th October 2010, 12:21 PM

Bsherrin is also on a pointless post parade, asking questions about 32's and 35's

Thing is though Mike, they are pretty similar cars after all!

TAZZMAXX · 27th October 2010, 02:43 PM

Bsherrin has a Nissan Cube as well as a R32 and R35

Chris956 · 27th October 2010, 05:29 PM

Yep - just had a load of threads sent through with pointless posts at the end by BSHERRIN. I`ve reported two of them.

The for sale section i can understand, but the wanted section is silly, this is when new owners need to source parts for there new purchases, i for example genuinely need a hole host of parts, Gearbox, Shocks, trim, drivers glass, etc..... i'm working long hours away from the UK and its harder than it sounds to post 50, if i sat here and talked to my self it would take minimum 1hour (60 second rule!)

MLR forum require sellers to add there contact numbers and address!

Steveline · 27th October 2010, 05:59 PM

number 40........ nearly there!!!!

Fuggles · 27th October 2010, 06:46 PM

Agreed, it's not ideal but we're trying to protect people and there are always those that are genuine that end up losing out. Hope you'll respond

what does spam actually mean lol (extra post for me haha)

Or else if a newbie comes on here selling then the only option they should have is COD of their item which they have for sale, get them to agree to that or else off they go

From Wiki

"Forum spam is the creating of messages that are advertisements or otherwise unwanted on Internet forums. It is generally done by automated spambots. Most forum spam consists of links to external sites, with the dual goals of increasing search engine visibility in highly competitive areas such as weight loss, pharmaceuticals, gambling, pornography, real estate or loans, and generating more traffic for these commercial websites. Some of these links contain code to track the spambot's identity if a sale goes through, when the spammer behind the spambot works on commission"

+1 for me then as well

...and it originated because of Monty Python. Their (in)famous spam sketch was enough to convince those that shape the internet that spam was the ideal way of describing what we all know today as spam. i.e. whether you want it or not you're going to get it and it comes with everything!

31/10/2010 and he's at 43 posts. They are still as dumb and meaningless as the early ones. How long after he hits 50 do you think we'll see a for sale thread from him?

Chris956 · 1st November 2010, 08:08 AM

perhaps we should spam up his PM with meaningless phrases ?
