Trying to quell the anger.....

I've had to write this on a new thread because I refuse point blank to bump one of the irritating 'sales' threads to the top again!
Grrrr! These things annoy the hell out of me! They clutter up the page and make it look untidy, and can I also point out that they hardly come under 'general chit chat'
Now that my rant is over - can I politely ask if an invigilator (sp) can delete these at all?

Well if you did that again today LC, it seems to have done the trick, whatever you said must really have sent them running!! :wah:

I pm'd the 10 people who've been members of that group the longest: Tombstone, Koan, Zinky, Abbye, Bryn, Sheryl, YZGI, Tmbsgirl, Che, & SuzyB. Ten is all the pm function allows at one time.

That must have happened before I joined. Certainly glad they were removed quickly, because nobody wants to see that stuff being posted here.

You can do more than that, if you can trace the user's account or web-site. You
can report the post, includind details and URL, to their ISP - terms of use are
passed "down the line" - so, if the post contravenes FG's terms, it will normally
contravene the ISP's terms, and get the spammer TOS'ed. This also works well
for e-mails of the 419/Nigerian scam or "Make Money Fast" type. Enjoy!
