The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Happy birthday mcr mad

What you can't view the fridge as a guest?  I don't know about this stuff.  I was only a "guest" for about 10 seconds before I decided to join. :p

You can when you are not banned, but supposedly when you are, you'll get an error message. This is just what I hear though. I only know for certain guests CAN see the Fridge when they are not banned.

this guy had been outright offensive to anyone who disagreed with him and did not change his attitude one jot even after repeated warnings, PMs, and temporary suspension.

Oh boy...sounds like someone I knew before....

I think if you are ip banned you'd get some sort of error message but would not be able to see any message, though likely the admin would know better then I would since I'm just guessing.

The only way he could see this is if he changed his ISP address.  In that case, yes, he can see if we are wishing him a happy starday.

Not hard to do. :p I'm sure he can see this.  It's a good thing he's not good at acting otherwise I'd suspect he's still here.  But a guy like that couldn't act any other way.  I think he might have had some issues.....

Maybe he'll change and mature with time.

I guess since his account hasn't been deleted.
