[edit] Spam review

I have reviewed your site (this is my field) and do not consider it a spam site. You are, however, acting as a typical spammer would. Obviously this is your site and you are emotionally involved. But do not add your link to multiple sites; do not put it at the top of the list; and most important, do not add it again after it has been removed by an admin. If an administrator removes it as spam, your next step is not to bully your way in, but to go to the subject talk page, and the administrator's talk page to make your case. In the final analysis, it's better for someone else who can be dispassionate to add your site. I will further review your site to see if it applies to other pages. However, I did add it to pollinator decline. If you don't follow the rules, I may also remove it. I would also encourage you to get a user name. Pollinator 14:23, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, Pollinator. Like you said, this user's behaviour was very similar to that of a typical spammer, and therefore I interpreted the links as spam. As you are an expert in this topic, I think you can make a better judgment about the nature of the links than I can. Therefore, I unblocked 86.7.76.220. RexNL 14:37, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Rex! Now I hope to hear from 86.7.76.220 (why is that hard to say). Pollinator 14:43, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
