    Unfortunately when you have Dave on her pretending to recommend a tyre company, when in actual fact he is the company and is trying to tout for business it is what is known on internet forums as spam. Again you can see this for your self at the bottom of each post there is a button to report this to the forum team it is the "spam" button, if you are unsure there is even a picture of "spam" to help you.

    Happy to point this out to you.;)

    Jim - I am against spammers and have reported a few in my time. Looking at Dave's current posts, I can't see why, apart from him being a newbie, he is being labelled a spammer.

    He has only 4 posts on his current history - has he had others promoting this tyre company deleted then?

    And, probably more important, are they any good? I have used Blackcircle and Event Tyres in the past, but am always willing to increase my list of quotations to get a good deal.

    Grandmother, eggs here :) sorry... I've been using the web for a very long time and yes, I know all about spam. I was there in it's infancy sadly. I now just ignore it. I have got fed up of reporting it over the years and still it comes through. So I just delete and carry on.

    No offense taken though, I was trying to lighten the situation with my comment about fishing bait. It is very good for that by the way especially the garlic variety :)
    Kevan - a disabled old so and so who, despite being in pain 24/7 still manages to smile as much as possible :)

    Yes he has had post's deleted after another member posted his companies house entry. He is a total spammer. Search him on Linkedin.
