Surely solicitation by spamming would involve unwanted messages to numerous members?
That's part of why I said this incident can be viewed from two different ways. Normally, a spammer will be hitting up all the noobs that just joined trying to score some sales. This was a member seeming to solicit older members who knowingly would not take kindly to solicitation. @2Dumb2Plumb should have known better than to do this since he has been a member here for a while now whether it was out of excitement, trying to impress others with his sources he had found or true solicitation.
The rules don't state that an excessive amount of solicitation is required. They just say that it shouldn't be done
