He was warned with the deletion of his one and only post which an advert, and I got a pretty nonsensical PM, so I'll ban him, don't think it needs any discussion.

Apologies to any other members who may have received spam mails from this person. I rather think he must be a cubie short of a full tank trying to flog bio at a quid a litre when members are making it for a few pence!

I've just banned him permanently. He had a chance to redeem himself and was invited to participate in the forum.

Instead he chose to pester members with spam.

He's history.

He's been on ebay with various names in the same addresses in Slough & Reading.

I apologise to the other admin if my actions were a little unilateral, I should have waited until we all talked as Keith suggested. However, the guy was warned politely and invited to play nicely ... an invitation which he chose not to accept.

Post by: Tony on April 12, 2014, 09:37:47 PM: Well, you call it bio. I'm not so sure given his last "biofuel" company closed after just over a year of trading.

Something dodgy going on I'm sure.
