I've broken the law and I'm being removed!!

MaineBlue

I received the following from a website called (Can't say):-

Can't say anything as it is against MSE rules apparently

I searched and was unable to find any thread I had started for anyone called (Can't say), so I asked for more info

Can't say as it's against MSE rules apparently

I am still unable to locate any such comp; however I see there are some (Can't say) comps so could I suggest the OP's remove them before they get carted off to the local police station

Would it not be a good idea to put BN1 on MSE's banned list so they can't be posted in future?
I'm sure anyone posting for this company are doing so in good faith rather than attempting to break any law and then receive threatening messages from them?

Brightonman usually posts these as they are local to him, maybe msg him x

Did you receive an e-mail from the actual site (eg from say theboss[EMAIL="theboss@bn1magazine.co.uk"]@bn1magazine.co.uk[/EMAIL])?

MaineBlue

No, I got a couple of PMs

Think they must have confused you with the other fella x

I don't think they can remove you from the forum, they can request it, but wow, that is one threatening PM to receive. Especially when you've not posted any of their comps... Rather borders on being slanderous.

Not to mention they've broken forum rules about posting as a company, without the required "I work for company X" MSE signature...

What I really don't understand is the line:-

If you wish to post competitions from BN1 Magazine, you MUST copy and paste the actual link to the website.

I ALWAYS copy and paste links to the actual website in every comp I post
And I really have no idea about this particular comp; I can't find it (but MSE search is a tad fickle) and can't remember every comp I post.
One thing's for sure I'll be avoiding this lot like the plague from now on.

Do they mean that you can't hide it behind a word?

i.e. https://www.google.com
Instead of clicky
