Spam??

Quote from Baron:

I'm simply asking that you notify me directly at this time of the people you are referring to. (aside from Marketsurfer, as he was banned yesterday for good.) You don't have to do it publicly of course. A simple PM is fine.

In regards to you other assertions, I immediate ban people who spam on their first post because history has shown me that when people spam on their first post, it's the only reason they are posting on the site to begin with. However, when a user has a past history of normal posts, and then all of sudden starts spamming, we give them a warning because their history tells us that they aren't just on the site to spam people. I don't think there's anything weird or irrational about that logic of site management.

Where the real problem comes in is with people like marketsufer, who posts thousands of legit posts, and then turns into a spamming, self-promoter. When I discover his spam, and send him a warning or suspend his account, he calls or emails with an apology and a promise that he won't do it any more so I let him back on the site. But then after a few months, or even years pass, the cycle repeats itself. Where I went wrong was giving him a third chance after he had already demonstrated that he couldn't keep his promise after the previous ban. That was my mistake, and I won't make it again.

So in summary, there really isn't a "buddy system" like one would think. I really have zero tolerance for spammers. Often times, I may get busy doing other things and therefore miss when legit posters all of sudden start spamming. But make no mistake about it, if I end up finding out that somebody is promoting their commercial services without being a sponsor, it won't be long before they are warned once and then banned if they keep it up, no matter how many posts they have.

I started out liking Surf. But he always seemed to be buddy buddy with a number of the most annoying self-promoters on the site, like Tim Sykes. Dunno what he got out of that...

does thiss mean no more parties?

Will Baron compensate by hosting this year's trader party?

I hope so.
I heard Surf got pulled out of the last one by his girlfriend because she didn't like the smoke.
It was a cigar club for Pete's sake.
An ET party at the Trader Expo's would be a nice feature but there would be a problem with getting people to wear name tags with their real names on them.
Hey, Baron, I'll chip in $100 for the party.

...and this line gave you away, Smurf. There was no progress of Surf, just degradation.

I actually remember the time when 3-4 years ago you actually posted winning trades. Maybe you just had the right strategy for the right time...

Pekelo, you have to admit, my gold call was close, nearly nailed it !
I'm still short and calling calling $600, my present short will be a winning trade. Gold is doomed.

surf :D

I heard she came in with a sars mask and dragged him out by his ears. What a witch!
 
I have been advised, that due to misrepresentations of fact by elite management,there will not be a "Surf Fest" this year during the Expo in NYC.

Sorry to break the news, they were a good time for all.

Damn! I was looking forward to violating the dress code for the third year in a row. :D

Perhaps, Surf will experience a change of heart during the next 6 weeks.
