Have i done somthing so bad
« on: July 24, 2006, 22:04:01 PM »
Good evening all i have just recieved an email from calis beach forum threatening to remove me from this site ,accusing me of trawling members and spaming them to use the exact words, both of which are completly alien to me as i am not a computor boffin, i am just an average working class person who after visiting calis beach forum and thinking" you know what all these nice people must have the same idea as me",decided to buy in calis, obviously i have done somthing so terrlbly wrong , the only thing i can think of is that i emailed another member to ask them about a topic that they had previously started, so shoot me , but it was a genuine mistake... having genuine second toughts.

It wasn`t a threatening email, neither was it directed at you personally. it was a mass email sent by Scunner to all members.
As there has been a lot of spamming lately this was the easiest way to let members know what will happen if they spam other members.

PS, I got 9 of them.

Hi Bee
Spamming is when someone sends unwanted emails to other members touting for business or some such thing.
We've all received the same email from Keith over the past couple of days.  You've nothing to worry about so don't fret :)

spam spam spam spam aspam spam spam spam sapm spam spam... The term 'spam' originated in the IT industry from the Monty Python films "I want SPAM egg end chips" "SPAM egg and ham" "Chips beans and SPAM" .. It's the continuous noise of something you haven't asked for.. i.e uncsoliciated mail..It's a bit like a Crabbit post  ;) Although as a fellow Gooner you are of course forgiven (not that you need to be Dave as you and Keith are God(s) on CBF!

Bee, its nothing to worry about, everyone including me has received one because of the problems spammers have been causing, as you don't know what a spammer is you obviously aren't one so forget it. It would have taken too long to individualise the emails.

I got one too and I am really cross. [:(!]I have been a CB member for years and both received and given advice to others. I found the whole tone of the email offensive and well over the top. I know of no  reason why this type of "warning" should be sent out "en masse" :(and feel that it was a gross mistake to send it to us all and we all deserve an apology.
