Scammers + Steroidology = Stupid

Big Fed and Hulkster were banned for violating the TOS by using the PM system for sollicitation (sourcing if you prefer). Period.

Out of curiosity...how did they figure out that they were soliciting through PM? Was someone reading their PMs out of suspicion?

The link works. I can sum it up that the admin here said they were sourcing via PM's AND could prove it. They had to post on another borad to refute that (as they are banned from here). They claimed innocence and we (the board members) were left with two sides of the story to decide for ourselves what really happened.....

Not true. They were given the chance to let admin post everything to let people decide, but they declined. Get your facts straight brother. They are sources and did source on this board. As for getting back in to refute, they did come back. The_Big_Fed came back as a few other names and even did more damage. All of that has been saved here and they were going to post it.

I don't know what option the admin left (except what I read on the board). And I know they did not want their personal info listed on the open board (I don't know who would here...) I saw BF come back briefly as 'banned guy' but I personally did not see him post anything about being a source...

This thread is headed for the recycle bin.....

So lets recap, they harbor scammers, heck one of their own mods The Almight turned scammer and was using PMs to solicit. They allow these scammers to promote via PMs.

I know for a fact they don't let members use PM's to solicit sources. They have very strict rules over there about sourcing, you should know that if you've spent time over there. Basicly the same rules Elite has. There are a lot of good bro's over there. No offense but it sounds like your talking out your ass.

members complained. That's where the suspicions came from.

Pop-Tart, dude you need to chill out, While I understand that you are trying to get out information that you believe to be valid,however, we do not condone the bashing of any boards or board owners on this site. So you said you peace now stop, this is your warning.

Bulldog, to answer your question they found out about it becuase a member brought a PM to EF Sam. The PM was read, then the members in question had all of their PMs read and saved by the administration.

They do not allow this. Almighty was banned for this as soon as it was learned he was doing it. And they do not allow sourcing through PM's...
