Why was it deleted? Hardly spam was it?
The poor guy was only trying to get help for the next FIFA update.

Thanks, at least someone has common sense
So Paul where was your common sense when you made the first post? Did it not occur to you that someone moderating this forum might have thought that it was spam? :icon_wink

Newton's bizarre picture was the main reason the mods thought it was spam.

Spam? Perlease, never in a million years did it or would it cross my mind anyone could consider this as spam, I've administrated a forum for 8 years with 50,000+ members, I know spam when I smell it
I've posted similar posts to this on countless forums for all of the teams I handle now and have handled in the past for Fifa and never, ever have I been accused of spamming and/or been banned from posting without even a PM to say "hold on a minute".......
Now I have been put in my place, I would like to point out we are a little more select and try and keep unsolicited requests for help, however you like to characterise that, to a minimum. :icon_wink
I can't see that Placebo's post can in any way be seen as spam. All that he is guilty of is underestimating this forum's reluctance to accept newcomers at face value.
I am not sure that all new members in their first few posts do a "Placebo". :icon_wink There is too much of that "reluctance" generally. Sadly for me it just means that new members go through an ordeal that puts them off. :icon_sad:
The problem is so many people see forums as a way to get free advertising and any newcomer who posts something that appears to be on behalf of a company will be regarded with suspicion.
A lot of reputable companies employ people to post on forums, pretending to be interested in the forum's subject when in reality all they're doing is trying to get cheap advertising.
I'm aware of that - but it is not what happened in this case.
Perhaps we should ban Newts on the grounds that he advertises tinned ham-substitute.
No, we should ban him because he's crap.
