We took the decision this week to place the URL of the other site in our filter, due to some extreme spamming, and the confusion caused by the near identical look of the other site.

The spamming at first was terrible, thanks Craig

Why can't people leave things in the past?

Surely by leaving the url of this site in their filter they are leaving things in the past??

Yeah ok I read that, but surely if you put anything in the swear filter you're leaving it the past as it can no longer be mentioned?
Can some please tell me if I'm missing the point here?? I've had a bit of a lazy day off and I'd like to think my brain hasn't totally turned to mush...

It also doesn't help the reputation of this site when people are posting things like:

if you read the whole of that post he says he has no problem with this site then he went on to post something which is his personal view of things at the moment. Thats the way i see it anyway

The day community.ntl.com was announced and nthw.co.uk launched, there was spamming of this site in extremis by our very own Russ D on .com. They were happy to put up with it at the time, I assume because none of them knew exactly what the implications of the change were for them and they wanted to keep their options open.
Now things have settled down I wonder if they have reason to be more confident that they will continue to have a settled role and have no need to tolerate nthw.co.uk any more.
I can't think of any other reason; AFAIK the only other site they *** out is ntlhell, and surely they're not suggesting this site is anything like that one? We're quite nice about nthw.com on the whole...

It seems none of the members of this site can post on there without being accused of spamming,

Well I can and I don't get accused of anything.Mainly because I have the tact not to place anything do with this site in my signiture.After all it's not necessary.I post there as a member of that site.I post here as a member of this site.If I had a link or a signiture or avatar that was refering to that site then it would deserve some comment.After all BOTH sites have rules about spamming.
So please,lets not try to start ANOTHER war.That site isn't the enemy.NTL'S poor service is the real target.

Completely agree with this. It doesn't make it any easier to discuss ntl's poor service when some of the (nameless) admins over the road do seem to take it on themselves to start attacking some users for voicing their concerns though.
