I got an r-mail from a Yahoo account saying that I received a temp ban. It claims to be from a mod of Dave Sperling's, but it's not. If you were going to be temp banned, you would have received a PM. Don't worry about Big Bill's bored foolishness. If you have any questionsa about it, simply PM a mod.

What's r-mail?

Who's Big Bill?

You're being banned from French Yahoo?

I also got this email saying that I've been temporarily banned for a month due to my behaviour. I have maybe posted 4 times since I've been home in Canada in March. Is this from this Big Bill guy from that other site, or this new porn guy? Or are they one and the same?

The Mod Team is addressing this matter.

Mods never send emails initiating bans.

Please disregard any such emails.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM a Mod.

Yes, someone used my name in some cases, I believe, and sent out e-mails. That is not something we do. If it is not a PM from us, ignore it, but this action is not something we will ignore or take lightly.

"Hello, The Mod Team voted to send you on a four week vacation for your behavior on the boards including causing problems for the Mod Team.. A temporary ban works on the honor system. You may not post for the next four weeks, or until September 13, 2008 at midnight, Korea time. Posting anything during this time with your username will be followed by an automatic permanent ban from Dave�s ESL Caf�. You may not change your signature or location information unless you have been specifically told to do so because it is inappropriate
On behalf of the Mod Team,

Enrico Palazzo"

????

just ignore it? what a pain...

i ain't blaming dave's eslcafe at all... i am trying to figure out this p@ick who sent it...

I got the same thing, as well as some obviously blatant crap email with a link I would never dare open...probably was porn or a virus.

Anyways, the false MOD sender is using a @Yahoo.com address. Could it be any more obvious that it's a ruse??
