ADMIN im glad to see that you are taking the appropriate measures with accounts in question, it shows that you are a serious site and aren't only going to give out 'warnings'. Its still pretty pathetic that this is what it has come to considering all the warnings that were posted. Spamming causes nothing good, to me when someone spams they are sending out the wrong message about the site. Let this be a warning to all!!

Yeah, admin, you might also want to put that warning as a sticky and important do that it is always on the top of the forums for the newbies to read.

Posted by Administrator: The best thing is, of course, to refer your friends, family etc., and put your link on your very own website/blog!
Admin, do you know if most of those 18 blocked accounts were from english speaking users? Or maybe they just copy/pasted the links without even understanding the rules, trying to get some points off of the referrals?
I agree, but I believe you only have so many friends that play poker. The very own website is a good alternative. At least a link to the website, mentioning that the website is poker related is a way to promote it in forums, without giving the referral link directly.

I don't remember sorry, we don't want to waste more time on this matter, those accounts are no longer active in our system But most likely they knew english, otherwise they would have had a hard time signing up at our site, finding out the affiliate/points system, referral link etc.

Ogio, Please provide at least one link to where he's spamming or posting the link where it's not allowed, we can't just block people without any proof Either mail links to support (at) bankrollmob.com, or post them here - I will delete the links after inspection in case they violate our rules, but you won't be banned for posting them

Instant ban, where sufficient proof was present. If people can't understand when it says in our rules, when it says at the affiliate page with red letters AND when we send out a MobMail with warnings, then there's no mercy against spammers.
It hurts bankrollmob, our partners and the business in general, when our site is being spammed all over the place. In fact, Walker Poker actually came to us and said they are getting alot of heat because "free $25 walker poker" was being spammed in places where such links were not allowed.
