When to use the Spam Button (and when not to)

apparently if your a new member like me every post is spam..

not every post, just those that look like they are advertising or similar.

If a new user joins up and immediately posts glowingly about a site/ebay auction/company etc then it certainly looks like spam or having a vested interest. New users who are genuine should probably post around the boards on general topics first so it doesn't look like you have just joined up purely to sell or advertise (which it does if it is a first post)

So don't let it put you off, just stick around and post a bit on other topics first before posting any particular offers.

ive just been spammed out for no reason whatsoever because it was my first post. gotta say i use this forum a lot but that was just rude. i actually went out of my way to register because i actually thought id found a good deal on a website. hey ho looks like i just get to bask in it. i will continue as i have done previously and remain a browser only

well when all your posts are about the same company then I guess people are suspicious. Because if it looks like spam and it smells like spam then it probably is....
