    Apparently for whatever reason, if a username starts with a capital letter, you can't put that usere on an ignore list.

    I have no idea why, sorry :confused:

    guy named Martin, username antimartin. At least he had the courtesy to at least make it look genuine, although it's a little too close to kenta (or whatever the name was) yesterday for me to be taken in. The motering board is there for a reason!

    Anyway thanks antimartin for reminding me to empty my PM box, yours will be the first to go!

    H.
    Know me for who I am, not for who I say I am.

    :mad: Im getting loads of private messages lately from people that have just joined up trying to sell life insurance.It is really getting on my nerves now .Is anyone else getting them? kentavr and AntiMartin (saddo!) are 2 of them.I have now stopped people sending me private messages which is a shame.
    Do you think new people should be on probation and unable to send private messages (and especially not in bulk like they have)?
    Thought it might be an idea if it is not too difficult to do so thought i'd post this.
