Good Morning everyone-

The "spam"  people, with such boring lives,  have been here all night posting messages to fill up 4 pages of the Alanon Message  Board.

 I have deleted many and blocked several IPs.  John is working  on a Mass removal.

In the mean time I ask your patience and suggest we go about posting as if the postings were not there  (like the elephant in the living room ).

Have a great Saturday  and remember that we have  endured worse than this and thrived 

Life in India must be very unsatisfactory  confuse

Thanks Betty (and John)!!! I did see them hard at 'work' over-night...oh well - guess we get to detach from this too - eh?

(((Hugs))) to all and hopes for a great day!

Off to a meeting in a while - it's Fall in my world and have to find a few warmer clothes!

All post have been removed for now The moral is that it like everything is life is all a process and if we chip away at it -eventually the job gets DONE.  Thanks to HP, the  slogans "Live and let live " and "Think" ,my serenity remained in tact. awwGreat practice 
Thanks everyone

I would be remiss if I didn't throw in a thank you for Kenny too - he zapped a few the other night when 'they' came a calling!

So - thank you Kenny too for all you do and your service for MIP!!

Please, always provide me with a spammers user name so I can do a mass/bulk delete on their post and ban their IP. If any one knows the spammers user ID'(s) please let me know.

John

Here are two John: (edited to remove names)...

I'll make a note of user name if/as I see them (again)...

Is there a way to look at 'newest members'? I might be able to name last night's if I saw it!

Thanks for all you all do!

Three spammers user id's were provided and all three banned.  Let's hope this at least slows their action down.  Thank you board moderators for handling this and removing the post as they appeared and group members for being patient as we get this resolved.

John

Thanks John, Betty & Kenny (and all) for working to slap the spammers. I suspect they are sleeping now and will return this evening. That seems to be the pattern for the last few days.

Since I work from my computer, I am often close by. If it happens again tonight and I 'see it', I'll do as I've been - notify Betty or Kenny.....I will also now make note of usernames since that will help ban them permanently.

Have a great day - hopefully they will get bored soon and move along down the road!!
