This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from all of Wikipedia. -MBK004 21:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

The key problem is that navyvets.com is a "social network", and one of the types of links to be avoided is "Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups) or USENET", per WP:EL. The secondary problem is that after you were warned to stop, you kept adding the inappropriate links instead of discussing why they should be considered appropriate. As a result, the block was applied as a preventative measure to prevent further links from being added. —C.Fred (talk) 21:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
