You're not the only one Deb, let us know who the sender is so we can ban him/her. It won't stop them from using another name, but hopefully they'll get bored and go away. I've been getting quite a few of them lately.

SilviaBona left me 2 about buying counterfeit passports. I really can't think of any use for these, so I deleted!

I had the same one Judy had, plus tarantonotina and samooobooo

Janet

I've already taken care of the one Judy and I had...I'll go and check out the others now.

Janet, I noticed that you banned one for a few days. I've been banning them permanantly!!!!

Janet
08-06-2011, 04:27 PM
Yes....I just banned one for a few days by mistake. I've got the name wrong down and will permanantly when his/her time is up. I usually ban them permanantly too, but had another brain...well you know....LOL

Thanks to Janet and Diana!!!

It is so nice that you both are banning these creeps!

DianaB
08-07-2011, 03:42 PM
I thought that you probably meant to ban them permanently!!!

Thanks for keeping these weirdos out :thumbup:

Janet

We're trying.... :)

I just deleted 10 of them without opening. I didn't think to ban them. Will have to do that next time. What a pain!!! Don't know what they think they are accomplishing!!

DianaB
08-10-2011, 05:51 AM
Actually, Marilyn, Janet and I are the ones to ban them. We are moderators now but Janet actually does most of the work!!!

It is spamming season!
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

DianaB

I've been getting those too. I can't figure out how to get rid of them. I sent a question to Janet about it so we'll see if she can figure it out. If now we'll have to contact Admin about it.

Janet
08-11-2011, 09:24 AM
Same here.....I've been trying to get rid of 'it' and no luck. Show 'it' has a member, but can't find 'it'. Not sure what the next step is.

Janet

I rec'd another one this morning from the 'spam alert' person. This time I contacted Administration and told them that Diana and I were having a heck of time getting rid of this person. Hopefully they will help.

Yep, I got another one this morning from Burbury Outlet Online. Seems pretty odd.

DianaB
08-12-2011, 08:58 AM
That's funny, Janet!! I just sent them an e-mail too!!!

thanks guys...:)...thought it was just me...lol

Janet

In did get a reply fro admin. But will have to wait until I get home and use my laptop.

DianaB
08-13-2011, 08:09 AM
I did get another spam e-mail from this guy. I gave them an infraction and set it for "never". Maybe that will take care of them.

I didn't get a message from Admin. Hmmmm........

Marilyn

I have three new messages from:

Burberry Outlet Online
***SPAM PLEASE ALERT ADMIN***Test

Janet
08-13-2011, 06:59 PM
Okay, Administration asked for a copy of the PM and a link to their profile page so I sent it to them. I haven't heard anything back from them yet. I sure hope Administration can do something about the 'Spam Alert" bandit, I'm tired of getting PM's from this person as much as the rest of you.

Same here, Gayle.

Didn't know the name of yours Gayle, but banned the one for Judy.

Not sure what is going on here. We very seldom every had spam crap and now it seems we can't get rid of them fast enough. I just don't understand how it shows on the Home Page that they are a member and when I try to find them....they don't exist. Sure wish they would move on.

As far as I can tell the name on my spam was Boxe

DianaB
08-15-2011, 07:03 PM
I've been getting rid of some of them. Hopefully it works!!! I'm tired of them too!!!

Can somebody post without becoming a member? This sounds like a new problem. Maybe Admin can help you both with how to handle this.

This is what the sender of my last strange pm looks like. Can a guest send a pm?

DianaB

Ok....Gayle, I took care of yours.

Judy, if you will forward your message to me I'll see what I can do.

judy
08-18-2011, 02:20 PM
Thanks, Diana. Done!

DianaB
08-21-2011, 12:14 PM
Sorry. I couldn't find their name. I'll have to wait until they send me a message. They are so tricky!!!

Gina
08-21-2011, 04:25 PM
I have not been on for awhile I am getting the same spams as you ladies. I deleted several this evening. So ANNOYING!

Janet
08-21-2011, 04:37 PM
They are annoying Gina. We try to catch them as quickly as we can, but they seem to multiply like rabbits.

judy
08-22-2011, 05:59 AM
They will be gone soon. As long as you and Diana ban most of them, and we ignore the rest and just delete them, whatever it is they are after will not be given to them.

I do wonder though - why do they post this nonsense? None of us care about whatever they are posting. Maybe it's a code?

We could advise them to go to another (unnamed) forum!

DianaB
08-22-2011, 07:47 AM
The ones that post have to be a member. Guests can not post. If you look at who's on when you get on usually the ones you don't know are people who are registering. They usually have names that don't make any sense. I don't understand it or why they do it.........I suppose it's because they can.

judy

Because they can.....can you imagine ever being so dumb? This is really a case of "GET A LIFE!"
