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!

Sounds like grounds for a time limited ban or similar.

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.

I think this guy is called Farouk - http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/unseentrader/m.html?item=201068751167&hash=item2ed0a1a93f&pt=UK_Vehicle_Oils_Lubricants_Fluids&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

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

Yes, a couple of the admin have done some digging too and the action taken partly reflects what we found.

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.

I think his motives was quite clear, he was using the fourm to try and sell his bio

Well, you call it bio. I'm not so sure given his last "biofuel" company closed after just over a year of trading.

At 99ppl for "BIO-DIESEL B100 FOR ROAD VEHICLE USE" he can't be paying the duty and be making money.
Something dodgy going on I'm sure.
