Oh great & wonderful PH mods,

(always get your creeping in early!)

Have I been banned from PMing? I know this is to protect people from spammers but all I was doing was trying to contact three PHers who I know have an interest in music to ask them to help me with my website venture.

And if I'm banned from doing that, can I mention my site (which is on my profile) in the music section when its ready to launch?

That's all really. Sorry if I have boiled anyones pee.

The Toad.

Don't think you can be banned from emailing/PMing other members- certainly no restrictions on your profile
I would presume you can only email one at a time for spamming reasons (HM may be able to confirm)
Try that - or did you already?

I emailed two people last week which fine and have tried to email one this week with no joy. It says technical fault which is odd as I would have thought if I was banned it would have said so. I wasn't spamming, honest guv!

PMing someone to advertise a site falls foul of the posting rules doesn't it?
As does posting a thread about it?

I wasn't asking anyone to advertise the site, just asking for a little bit of advice. Also its not designed as a commercial site, its just a bit of fun really. The people I was asking advice from were all people I'd had good converstaions on the music forum so they sort of knew me.

Anyway, once again sorry if I broke any rules but its all sorted now.

Silent1, if you would like to have a look it is now on my profile. So consider yourself special. If you want to take the time to pm me with some input then that would be great. (even if it's to say it's ste. hehe)
