spam nonsense
I used to visit troller message boards in Oregon and California . They were ruined, in my belief, by spammers, viruses and salespitches. It would be a great shame to lose this site the same way but it's getting alittle out of hand. That's all.
Re: spam nonsense
Seems like there could be some type of site management tool to eliminate or at delete that crap off here. But who knows. I always worry about clicking on it and getting a virus.
But I love this site, and hope it stays up for years to come.

Re: spam nonsense
I agree! I have never tried the Friend or Foe option on this site until a few weeks ago. Now I have 5 within the last 6 wks. I figured that all that posted were either a friend or a potential/ future friend. I think that only a moderator has the ability to restrict access of someone to this site. When you click on a dam spam's name you will be taken to their profile page, (not their post or links, I worry about viruses too) and you get the option to list them as a "Foe" The problem with that is that you'll still see the spam name on the index page, but the body of the post will be blocked. The other problem I see is when one of us responds to a spammer to say something it will bring the crap back to the top of the lists. Guess I'm saying is the best thing to do is ignore them
