Just received a message from an admin that I'd be banned if I mentioned another text editor again in any post. Yet throughout the forum are recent comparisons to other text editors. Did anyone else receive the same private message or are forums not really "open" for discussion? I don't see how TextPad suffers from honest, critical feedback. Even though TextPad has been recently mentioned as abandonware, other popular text editors — NoteTab and EditPlus — have also not been updated in years. It's not trolling to ask that TextPad be upgraded and urge Helios to include features that another text editor currently has, or is it?

Hello,

You are most likely the victim of a new spam scam. I have seen posts elsewhere complaining of the same thing. Someone is joining forums, collecting names and e-mailing them with this to get responses.

I am also a member of another forum where the Private Message system was used for this.

See:

and

I think this has been mentioned before on the internet about 1,000,000,000,000,000 times but I'll mention it again. Don't make your email address public :-)
