First off, Welcome to WebmasterWorld! I think that upon further investigation you will see how much you can learn here if you are willing to. I know tons of people that wouldn't be where they are today if it wasn't for WebmasterWorld's community and the discussions that are held here, me being one of those people.

>> Any way I can get the script to NOT spam my about paying a subscription?

You shouldn't be seeing this unless you are trying to access the supporter forums of which there are 7. Every other forum is open to the public and free to use as long as you are registered (registration is free). For some ISPs, after a certain amount of page views it will ask for login credentials, if this is maybe what you are referring to. (?)

>> Must be hard to say much if you can't even mention names, urls, etc. that are meant to be helpful.

You are right, it would be hard to have a discussion without all of these things; however, it seems you are misunderstanding the rules that we follow here. We allow all of these things--and more--with few exceptions. When there appears to be some sort of purpose for a member to drop specifics in a post other than to be helpful to others, moderators will remove that content. We are not here to promote products and services, and when removing these we err on the side of caution. Our Terms of Service [webmasterworld.com] serves as a basis for all our moderation.

>> I'm being accused of tag team spamming?

This seems to be another misunderstanding. I believe g1smd was giving an example of what mods have to deal with every day and have to take into consideration when dealing with suspicious posts. You have to understand that there is a lot of real spamming attempts on the boards all the time, and there is virtually nothing to separate those professional spammers from those just making a mistake.

So I hope you can find yourself visiting here more than just a few hours the first day after you signed up. Despite your first impression, you might actually like it here before long. :)
