    Shockingly, there are still people getting away with it. There is a designer (techy) on here that is always linking to his weebly website yet MSE do nothing?

    The username is also a dead giveaway as to what he does.....which I thought was against the rules?

  • Hi all,

    If you believe someone is doing something against the rules please feel free to use the report button on an appropriate post. Your report will go into a queue to be dealt with. We try to look at these things as quickly as possible but obviously it's a big site and we get a lot of reports. So your patience is appreciated. Thanks.

    Why don't you get someone in to deal just with name disputes?

    Are you offering to pay for that person ? That's jolly nice of you and I think MSE should take you up on that offer.

    What ? I was simply being facetious but didn't put a 'smiley'. I have no business to tout. Seems like the only one on this thread being touchy is you...
