Does anyone have a problem with this?

[treo700.us Luke]

So I registered yesterday for this forum. I added info into my profile and signature. I make just one post and I get an email from someone accusing me of spamming and trying to get people to buy stuff from my site which is a treo 700 resource site I started.

For one thing, there isn't even anything on my site to buy. But does anyone else find a problem with that? If so I will not come back to this site anymore if that is the attitude. I liked this site and figured I'd try to start contributing like I do on other Treo resource sites. I hope this is just the mindset of that individual and not everyone here.

We always welcome new members and contributions to the discussion.
As the site admin, I have always allowed sites/links in signatures. One of our senior members and greatest contributors (alex_matthews) has a large Treo site. I'm sure there have been quite a few folks that have found his site through his links and that's perfectly fine. I can't thank Alex enough for his valued contributions to this site and I'm happy to pass a little traffic to his site.

That being said, there have been quite a few who have come here under the guise of making a contribution, only to start promoting their own site. Additionally, on a daily basis, I remove spammers and spam from the site. Although I didn't email you and hadn't planned to, I could see why you were perceived to be a bit spammy. You username having your URL, newly created Treo site with a "store on the way".

To sum up, I welcome your contribution and you are free to keep your signature with links to your new site. I'd just ask that you limit the promotion of your site to just that.

And, by the way, there is a site dedicated to coverage of the Windows Mobile Treo -- our sister site -- TreoMobile. News specific to the Treo 700w not covered here on ET is over at TreoMobile.

Questions, concerns about this...please feel free to send me a PM.

Good luck with your new site.

Thanks for the reply. I appologize if I came off too spammy but that definitely wasn't my intentions. I'll stick around and try to contribute to the forum as everyone else is doing. Great site BTW!
