Yeah, I got that. I thought it was someone in my region just recommending a web site at the time.

Some one should post a link to this thread in moderation, they'd probably want to know if this is happening a lot...

Well, the one that spammed me has been deleted. Strange...my puppet hasn't been spammed at all. And it's in the Rejected Realms. I guess they're just spamming player created regions.

I think they were all IP traced together and deleted ...

( All were puppets I think ... man, that site is crap )

All further events of this type are to be reported via the Getting Help page that you should all know and love, yes you should, please ... ;)

( See Moderation Thread for details ... )

Yeah, I got it too, for one of my puppets; I deleted it without even thinking about it. I hate it when people do that. >_>

Do they seriously think it's going to get much business for their site?

Possibly, but you never know. It was all automatic anyway, through approximatelly 200 puppets according to The Most Glorious Hack.

I wonder how they set it up... Maybe some sort of safeguard for codes or formatting could be set up in the TG area...

what kind of site is iwalton?? I don't want to risk getting a virus or anything?? :eek:

No viruses. It just sells stuff. I guess the guy did it because he was being outcompeted by the million and one other online shops.

I think everyone should send Paul an e-mail telling him he's an asshole. Or better yet give him a call, I think that's what I'm gonna do, at about 3 am his time. I love having free long distance calling.
