I sent this member a PM, you can see it in his User notes. I asked him to select a new user name.
He selected WantToBeHappy as his user name. He was upset that I asked him not to promote his web site. Please see our dialogue bellow .
David, I know that you don’t want members to feel like they have to obey the rules. What do you think about his posts? Did I asked him too much? How do you want me to response to him?
Thank you!
Dear Mirjana,
that’s your web-site, you make the rules 
I suppose, main goal of such resources is to spread knowledge on Yoga we have and to learn more. I mention my own articles - via link, I could post them completely to the forum, what factual difference would it make?
My web-site consists of materials I make myself and I share them for free - it’s not for a marketplace, it’s for “public library” = or forum like this one… Isn’t it?
Anyway, I understand that I should obey if I come to your “house”.
Could you please kindly change my user-name to: WantToBeHappy?
Best regards,
Alexey

warmly welcome to the forum !
I removed your posts for now because it is not allowed to use an e-mail address in a user name or in your posts. Members can contact you via PM. When you will select a different user name please send me a PM, so that we can change it (you can’t do it yourself).
Also I would like to remind you that primarily our site is not to promote own web-site. Many members have own web-sites and work that they could promote. If you want you can post about your project in a Marketplace.
Friendly greetings,

You did great. If he wanted to spread “Free” stuff, he wouldn’t have a donate button and ads all over his site.
With that said, I changed his username as requested.
You handled it perfect 
Thank you!
i think so too! Good on you, Mirjana!
Thank you both so much! My gum is infected, so I was at the dentist and it was really painful. So I thought that maybe I’m not thinking clearly any more:-)
Shall I move now his introduction post back to the forum? First I would remove his web-site from the text and leave it just in his signature.
Sounds good Mirjana, and OUCH. Feel better soon!
Thanks
i am sorry, love. gargle and rinse your mouth with very warm salt water to help with the ouch of that–it really does sooth. it is a trick i learned for my mom.
If Nichole’s idea doesn’t work, I always find half a liter of vodka to work quite nicely. 
ha! is that your mom’s trick?
Yeah, my mom went through a horrible case of feeling sick to her stomach for about three months quite awhile back. The only thing that cured it was half a liter of vodka a day.
6 months later I popped out.
david, you should really think about starting a mother’s day card company! you have a real, um, way with words. ha!
(hello??? can a moderator please help get this thread back on topic already?!?)
I tried my mom’s trick today - gargle a sage tea. Good to know for salt water also Nichole! David you play with no risk, for sure I would feel nothing any more after half a liter vodka but I don’t promise any moderating next day :-)!
