Hi,

in order to ensure quality to our users, and to considerably reduce the number of spam sent by private messages, we decided to set up a few new rules.

But we'll start with a few explanations.

Our definition of spam ?
Unsolicited emails or private messages.

How we detect spam ?
90% of spam is sent by new users
90% of spam are "copy and paste messages"

Please, please...
Don't send the same message to several users without taking the time to explain us how we could help you on the forum.

If you are a new user and if you post more than 5 copy and paste messages, your private message system gets blocked.

Stop asking us to unlock your PM system
You can unblock your private message system by yourself. How can you do that ?

Please take the time to present yourself on the forum, to participate to a few discussions (with real answers), and your private message system will be unlocked. That's it !

You have made 8 posts so far, so you are doing something right, I am not sure what the problem is?

I'm sorry I made a mistake I was just trying to get to know people around the world with the same message

Maybe say hello to people? Maybe introduce yourself? Spamming people will not make friends believe me.

No, I still cant post in any forums except for this one. They said they will unlock the accounts that take time to post in forums but there is no space for me to write in.

Help with what? All you need to do is read the very post on this thread, failing to understand that read hundreds of other posts on this thread. Failing that I don't know how much myself or anyone else can help.

Here, there is a "Quick note" section for writing a post. Or we can click on the "3 dots" at each post to choose "Quote" or "Report". If we click on the space in the "Quick note" or "Quote", we can write our posts.
However, in the forums except for this one now, there is no "Quick post" section. If we click on the "3 dots", there is only "Report", but no "Quote".
So I do not know where to write in in the forums.

My apologies for breaking the rule.
I had advertised for a helper and was trying to get back to the interested candidates to let them know I hired someone so the position was closed. I feel if someone takes the time to inquire they deserve a response. Since there were about 8 people to respond to I was trying to say time by cutting and pasting. I was not spamming anyone.
Thanks,
Joan

Hello, I apologize for spamming messages out to job posting. I didn't read the rules like I should have and didnt realize the problem of spamming on these forums. I understand that with copy/paste messages, spamming can get out of control. I will be better in the future when/if my PM get unblocked. I will try to be more personal. Please forgive my ignorance on the matter. I love Vietnam and look forward to working in Ho Chi Minh City!

You've found out c+p is not really liked here, and you chose the wrong section to do it. Enough reports from users can trigger an automatic ban and the Vietnam crew are red hot at hitting the report button.
Better than average chance user reports blocked your system before the automatic filter kicked in.
Enjoy the open forums and notably interesting banter in the Vietnam section.
Much as that lot seem crass, rude, and even nasty on occasion, they're only being crass, rude, and even nasty on occasion.
It reminds me of Yorkshire.

okay, I now understand

Hi,

I am so sorry.  I find difficulties how to explain what happened. Any will not be repeated.
