My first post on Urban was a spam post advertising my night. It was greeted with the then traditional tin of spam jpg posted by blagsta, and a general invitation by a handful of posters to stick my advertising where the glowing rave pants don't shine.
I quickly apologised, read the FAQ, offered free entry to urbanites, and all was well. In fact, on the night of the club, the PA cut out, and it was fixed for me by some urbanites, none of whom I'd met before that night.
I didn't think it was an unfriendly welcome, and I definitely didn't think urbanites were unfriendly or unsupportive after they rescued my night from being a total disaster.

Yep. That's how to do it.
The OP may have buggered off but he hasn't been banned. But he sure owes the community an apology.
In my opinion - it's hit and run spam, pure and simple. First post, user name is the same as the bar/club and if you google it they've done the same elsewhere.
Yes, people could have done more to have politely directed the op to the FAQs and spelt out some of them, but the fact the person hasn't come back to reply/check on post & responses/apologise kinda justifies the frosty first response.
If plan B or it's promoters want to use the boards as a targetted advertising space then they should be offering a bit more then just information/sales pitch about the night (i.e. further consessions/free passes).
Onket my man, chillax. You can't really be that bothered about this? and surely you can see the reasoning behind the major snip.
I still think it's quite charitable to even have this thread still going - can't really see that many people being that interesting in Tony Touch but I could be wrong..

It's not a 'plan' to 'fuck off newcomers' - it's just how the community to reponds and reacts to rude new posters.People are still flogging this dead one are they?!
And yes, Dan, you're right. The plan to completely fuck off newcomers did fail in the case of ianw.
I note that he still hasn't responded to the comments here. In fact, he logged off the second after he spammed the boards and hasn't even looked since.
Hit and run spam, pure and simple, and no better than the "GET YOUR IPHONE/N95 NOW!" stuff that plagues these boards.
But he hasn;t been banned because we're great big forgiving softies. Well, for the first time at least.

Ah, so a low tolerance for fuckwits, spammers and muppets = a plan to fuck off newcomers?
Riiiiiiiiiiight.
Blimey, you still prattling on Onket?
Bloke spams the boards and receives some joshing, a bit of pisstaking and some guidance; par for the course on this place and entirely inkeeping with the FAQ.
Now, if the bod sticks around, argues his case or apologises, the chances are that they'll be welcomed. That's certainly what's happened in the past. But if they're just spamming every slightly relevant forum in turn, which seems to be happening here, then it's hardly great shakes for either group concerned.
Can't see where you're getting this 'fucking off newcomers' mullarkey from. This bloke's not even tried to engage with anyone - they've done the equivalent of dropping a leaflet through urban's front door and walked away afterwards?
