Blackshirt Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hey guys - I apologize for the spam you've been receiving from some hack "inviting" you to his board. It would be one thing if he were an active and contributing member, and merely wanted to share his site with us; but for someone to sign up for the express purpose of harvesting member contact info is unacceptable. I've suspended his account and informed him of his violation (#6 in our board rules. His response was "it wasn't spam, just offering my board.." Right. FYI, here is the definition of spam: "All unsolicited email and unsolicited bulk email that a recipient did not elect to receive." I certainly have no problem with our members posting on other boards or sharing other husker sites, but responding to bush league methods like this only encourages people that using shady techniques is the way to go. Let him build his board from the ground up the same way we did. Please just ignore this clown, and let me know if you guys receive any other messages and I'll report him to his ISP. Thanks- Chad Quote Link to comment
IrishAZ Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Good call Blackshirt - let the guy linkshare if he wanted to just offer his board (no reason the love can't flow both ways). It's dang hard building up a BBS and getting a name out in a community, especially one as nationwide as Husker fans. It isn't cool to just swoop in and leach off the efforts of others without giving something back. IRISH! Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 If it's the guy who put on his board that was pure trash then right on. I'm right with ya. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 If it's the guy who put on his board that was pure trash then right on. I'm right with ya. Nah, that was just spam. That has happened from time to time. This guy has never posted, but just signed up to email board members about his board. As Blackshirt said, pretty bush league. Quote Link to comment

Utah_Husker Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 That guy is a pipsqueek. He used to be a mod at BHF, but I think he was tossed off. If you think things get heated here, you should see some of the trash that guy types. Bravo, Blackshirt...let the guy build his own site. Quote Link to comment

Blackshirt34 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I got one....didnt even bother to check his site out. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 If it's any consolation, I clicked on the link and his board SUCKED. This website is pretty tough to beat, he's clownshoes. Quote Link to comment
formerfan Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Im not sure which link you are referring to, but I did see a link a few nights ago. Heck, I thought it was a porn site, but I didnt check it out. Pretty weak IMO, and this site is a very, very good site. Quote Link to comment

Not to get off topic, but I must say that entire thread (from both of us) got really pretty ridiculous and a waste of everbody's time. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hey if this guy gets anything started we'll just steal his stuff and bring it here. He's says it will be free. Screw this scumbag. Quote Link to comment
