The term SPAM implies many different definitions based on many different sources. The Washington State Supreme Court has stated that SPAM can be understood as:
ŵhe term 'spam' refers broadly to unsolicited bulk e-mail (or ''junk e-mail"), which can be either commercial (such as an advertisement) or noncommercial (such as a joke or chain letter).
Another popular definition focused towards the Internet describes SPAM as:
Ūnternet spam is one or more unsolicited messages, sent or posted as part of a larger collection of messages, all having substantially identical content."
On ScubaBoard we combine the commonly held definitions of SPAM into one concrete statement. SPAM is, as a general rule, a message sent in any amount of a commercial or non-commercial nature which is unsolicited. More specifically, SPAM generally consists of an advertisement of some nature which is sent directly to a user or users or is posted in a forum or forums. While the majority of our SPAM problems do come from traditional bulk postings, a message does not have to be commercial in nature nor does it need to be sent in bulk to be considered SPAM under our rules.
The punishment for spamming a user or the board varies based on the severity of the SPAM. Users with no prior posts who blatantly post SPAM messages to multiple forums or PM multiple users may be banned without further warning. Users in good standing who send out a limited number of messages may simply be given a warning or a short suspension. There is no such thing as ÅÈood SPAM on our board and all members, regardless of their status, may be banned immediately for spamming the board in any manner even if it is with just one message or post. As a general rule we try to take into account the nature of all messages, commercial versus private and the degree of the abuse. But to this issue, simply do not send users messages containing advertising of services, goods, links or personal ads they arenÃÕ asking for!

I agree 100% with you Larry! This has absolutely nothing constructive except blatent advertising...
Carl, that's not what scubaboard, and especially the PPD forum is about! It's really not appreciated...
for user like that you may install a great plugin called "miserable user", I use that on my board and what it does is simply pissing people off : Miserable Users - vBulletin.org Forum
the user can still log in but suffers different probs:
1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).
2. A chance they will get the "server busy" message (50% by default).
3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default).
4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).
5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).
6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default).
7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.
I'm sure you have a lot of good info about moalboal. Please feel free to share that with us.
Put your dive shop in your signature - couple that with an excellent and informative post and that's more than enough advertisement for other people to see. A lot of dive shop owners do that.
