Re: iPoker Data Mining service spam-banned, unjust?
 

Sam,

That's a fair analysis of the situation. I don't see why the FAQ can't state "One-time posts of software announcements are allowed with the express permission of admin" or something.

But anyway, your analysis is all well & good, but I was just trying to discover if there was demand for a product! So again, I haven't even reached the stage of potential spam yet.

Anyway, I'm getting [censored] bored of this. Its a really minor issue. I'm clearly within the limits of what others have done. It's ridiculous that I have to go to such lengths over this.

Can you please re-open the account and/or tell me how I am allowed to proceed.

stigmata,

pretty simple imo. Instead of making a new account called "iPokerData" and asking for PMs, use your regular account and say "are many people interested in this? I'd develop it if enough people want it. Make a post if you're interested"

As it is, mods don't know if you're scamming or trying to sell something via PM while claiming it's still in development.

I agree in retrospect this would have made life much simpler for myself.

But as I stated in the OP "I wanted to separate business & personal posts, I set up another user account "iPokerData". Also, once the service was up & running I intended to get someone else doing the day-to-day running". Other, similar posts have been made by unknowns.

I thought the intentions of my post could not have been clearer.

So, just make a thread announcing the product with the stipulation that without enough interest, it won't go through?
