Re: Where's the privacy?

Hi Yep,

The same thing happened to a lot of us a few months ago, when Kellie was still here, someone was MAJOR spamming the Blogs, etc, and we were getting multiple email notifications from this person.

This kind of spamming is actually nothing that we as members can do about it, we just have to be aware and notify the right people about the problem. This is usually something that the Community Manager and Bill would have to take care of. HTH

Also, there's no need to personally attack any of the Forum members, some of our members just have a different opinion about things, as well as a different sense of humor and sensibilities.

Re: Where's the privacy?

Hi Adama,

Thanks to you and all respondents to this concern. Unfortunately, unlike my personal e-mail service provider, I/we are unable to block those who feel the necessity to harass and inflict their childish pranks on sincere members.

With reference to "....no need to personally attack...", there was not really an attack as such. I posted a question and the first two 'twits' decided, rather than address the issue logically, to attack me personally. All I did was respond in kind. I do not/would not make a habit of affecting my standing in this or any other forum, as can be attested to by my co-operataion with the forum members in the past.

All in all, all suggestions are appreciated and I will save myself and all other SERIOUS members of this forum the inconvenience of responding to immature members. They will simple be black listed in my records.

Thanks

Adama

Re: Where's the privacy?

Hi again Yep,

All members of our Forum are valuable, in one way or another, irregardless of their personal choices for sigs (or lack thereof,) the way they speak or write, etc., etc.

Everyone is appreciated, just like you are too, because everyone has something that they can contribute to this Forum in their own personal way. We grow and we learn from each other. IMHO.

I defended Snorg and Lil, because just a couple of days ago one of our Mods and I, as well as all the members of this forum were called "unintelligent" by a brand new member, and that really hurt because I know it is not true. We just have different ways of seeing things, as well as different ways of expressing our ideas.

Again, everyone is appreciated.

Peace.

Hi Everyone,

I've read your posts and know feathers get ruffled when we sometimes we phrase replies in ways we don't initially intend. Please keep all responses in line with the Discussion title.
