You are able to send them a PM with your email address, Skype handle and phone number if you like.  :D

I am currently waiting for 3 orders from them, so they probably realised that there was no reason to give me any free stuff as I was happy paying for them.  :facepalm:

I did wonder why this wasn't already in.

I hate restrictions on members.  I really do.

However, we have no way to monitor PM's so we can't stop Spammers from spamming in PM's until or unless someone complains about them.  This particular issue was the result of a spammer contacting a member privately and offering them free stuff in exchange for that member spamming the forum. 

I have no issues with members getting free stuff (in fact I encourage it, and in many cases supply a lot of it! :P) but I don't like members being used as spam conduits.  I'm ok with folks paying links here and there, but i don't want to see anyone become a spammer's whipping boy either.  And, it's also not fair to legitimate paid advertisers.

Yeah. The second I mentioned paid options to them- they stopped emailing me back.
Sorry about that. I also noticed they have a huge number of complaints lodged against them through social media.

Huh... no need for "sorry", I was pfrsantosing joking. Well, trying, at least. Like I was spamming for goodies...

Since you've joined so recently, I forgive you for taking me seriously. Or is it "for taking me, Sir Yously?"...
