I just got a private message from someone who's got Banned under their name. What is this? Should I avoid them? Have they been slung off the site?

If a person is banned he/she can't post, reply or send PM. So if you got a PM from someone it means he/she is not banned. Please send me the message you got.
Yes, I got one as well, directing me to a Buddhist website, the sender when I looked later was banned. The person concerned had posted on the forums some four times.
I have gotten two with the Buddhist website reference with the identical wording from two names. I am glad to see both names banned.

It's not only happening here, this link to buddhist websites, it is happening on other forums too, usually a new member with only one or two posts to their name. It just makes the mind boggle as to why.
I applaud your caution, but me, I went there, as I go to other links provided on this site. Despite how much dislike I have for my OS, I do know the security is pretty hot so have no fear of treading where I wish to tread.
But why the need to promote buddhism, I understand if someone has 'seen the light' and feels the need to pass on the good word, but sneaking around on websites sending people messages is kind of creepy.
