Frank Warning DONT GET BANNED

**Matthew Wood** · 26-11-09

Any members who continue to post in the Finance vertical which is for Affiliate based discussion only for any LEAD, PPI etc related issues will be BANNED for 7 days on the first instance and for LIFE by username, company and IP address if it happens again.

We have banned around 8 people today for failure to comply to a simple request, one for LIFE.

Sorry to be very frank, but some people don't seem get the message and it's unfair on our moderators to spend half the day clearing it up.

glad you have jumped on this Matt :tup I've been moving posts to correct forum this week hoping more people would get the message

The problem we have is a lot of posts are archived here before the sub forum was put in place. Lots of new members on here digging up old posts.

Cant something be done where posts over a certain time frame cant be commented on? The option could be there to pm the poster instead.

JayFCF, as you're posting you can see I unbanned you.

We have something up our sleeves launchin Q1 2010 which will hopefully help all-round

I agree digging up of old threads by newbies and spammers is a problem right across a4u not just in the finance section, Matt can anything be done to set a thread to close after maybe 90 days from last comment

Its ok, thanks for the speedy unban.

I do try to stick to the rules lol.

**Matthew Wood** · 26-11-09

Keith, yeas I agree.

We can certainly add this to the list for our new release in Q1 :-) I don't think there is any immediate option with vbulletin.

Just bumping this as a fair number of posts are still appearing in the wrong forum :scared

The leadgen forum in particular the PI aspect of it should be closed and members should be validated by MOJ number if they wish to post there.

I've PM'd Simon my comments on this recently....
