    Any why ... if you snooze you LOSE!
    Nah you'll see some other newcomers joined and they've been great. They didn't spam links to anywhere. They introduced themselves and chatted about things. You'll find that posting what you did is generally frowned upon in all forums. If you post what you did at MyBroadband you would have been banned. You are lucky that MyGaming only has moderators once in a while.

    [MENTION=22611]melan.skilldragon[/MENTION], the best place to start on the MyGaming forum is this thread. Otherwise, starting a relevant conversation in existing threads is also quite a good strategy. Generally, the members on MyGaming (and indeed any other forum) believe that when a new member's first and only post is an advertisement, then it's spam.

    If you truly believe that this is not the case and that you have no vested interest in the ad, then please do try and make yourself at home in the ways that I mentioned above.

    This. If there's only one post, and it's advertising, it's spam. [MENTION=22611]melan.skilldragon[/MENTION], you're more than welcome to stick around, get to know us all, but that post is spam. Might be well intentioned, but still spam, IMO.

    Hi, did so.

    New to the forum thing.

    SO posted in introducing myself, thank you !

    Trying to edit my profile so that all my info could be revealed but no such luck. keeps saying that
    melan.skilldragon, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

    Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
    If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

    IIRC you have to have a certain minimum number of posts before you can play around with those thing. I think it all happens automagically, so just carry on and check back to your user CP regularly. Aaaaaaan Welcome! \/

    Sorry, the reported posts for this thread slipped by me for some reason. (Thanks to those who drew my attention to it outside the forum - much appreciated.)

    Honestly, I'm a little skittish about leaving the account of what appears to be a gaming version of a "work from home" spammer active, but since ya'll have been so welcoming, shall I give [MENTION=22611]melan.skilldragon[/MENTION] a chance?

    A few basics, [MENTION=22611]melan.skilldragon[/MENTION]:

    • Once you get access to your User CP and you spam it to create backlinks to your website, you will be banned. That's the reason access to User CP is limited to users with a specific number of posts.
    • This is a pretty open community, as you can see. Abuse our welcoming nature further, and you will be banned.


    Sorry, gotta be blunt. That way no-one can say there wasn't fair warning.

    This thread will be modified to remove the links posted in the OP.
    You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.
