Dear Sythe mods,

My username on the site is allenkinder and I've recently received a ban on your forums for "Spam bot/advertiser." I'd like to present my case here for your review.

I assure you, I'm not a Spam bot. So, I don't believe that's an issue.

As for advertising, I was only going by already existing threads and my conversations with moderators.

I spoke with two moderators, Ryan and Sypherz, about creating my thread on the trading forums. I provided links to existing threads and wanted to create my own similar threads.

I spoke with Ryan on Skype. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to provide an answer as to whether I'd be able to create a thread.

Sypherz response was, " should be alright if it isn't malicious and don't create a thread directly advertising the website. Keep it within the signature or within a selling thread etc."

You can check my PMs to confirm.

Based on this response, the forum rules, and existing threads, I proceeded to create my own threads with the following in mind.

1) I didn't link to my website in the post. I didn't even use ".com" anywhere in the post. I kept it in the signature as directed.
2) Just in case, as stated in the forum rules, I provided an "alternative method of contact," my skype name.
3) I made sure to point out how forum users can benefit and conduct business on Sythe. There are actually several users of the Sythe forums who use our website and I'm sure they'll be able to say good things about us.

If this is still insufficient, I'd like some direction in what I can do to create a thread that stays within the guidelines.


Thanks for hearing me out,

Hi Allen,

The rule in place for advertising is as follows:
Advertising - Posting or private messaging links to other sites is allowed if there is a legitimate purpose in doing so that benefits Sythe. Market threads may only link to websites if business is conducted on Sythe and alternative methods of contact (Skype, AIM, etc) are given. Accounts specifically created for advertising will be banned. To purchase advertising space email [email protected].

The criteria you did not meet was the 'business is conducted on Sythe' part; please refrain from posting any threads about your website if you are not trading anything yourself. For breaking our advertising rule, you only will receive a 1-point infraction. I have lifted your ban.

Thank you for your patience. We look forward to having you back on our forum :)
