i'm kind of in agreement with this, he's probably wondering what on earth he's done wrong, what was given as the reason when he was banned?

spammer... Posting images like this and the water feature are blatant spam, simply another post to gain exposure to his link...what does it add to the forum really? A few lines explaining why it was posted may have made it relevant.

I saw a splattering of spam posts and made a decision. If I was wrong, reverse it.

He had some advertising in his signature too didn't he? Or was that someone else.

I thought he was spamming. Pointless posts of no worth to anyone...

I saw one post from him, and thought 'ok random' then I saw this thread and thought 'right this is a bit spammy' then I saw the water feature post - that's when I banned him for spam. If I drift around and see a number of spamming posts from a person then they get banned, or a refraction.

Well then I better be careful too.. and I'll have to re-analyze me signature links

I just thought this might have been a little fast on the trigger & thought I'd ask.

I think a '3 counts and your out' sort of process might be better suited. Where I don't really find any of his posts relevant in my life, I think an infraction would have been sufficient? Just my opinion.
