Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 The more you answer these gremlins, the more they will post. If they don't get a reaction it's no fun so they move on to other places. Sindee will probably delete it. ..... Baylee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 ---I just wanted to put an addendum in here which I forgot to do before. When you see a post such as the one today, you're actually better off not hitting the reply. If you feel you need to respond to the post, you're better off just writing a post of your own because if you hit " reply " then you are repeating the spammers message once more.So then, the moderator has to delete it twice, or three times if another person hits " reply " and sends another message, and on it goes, everyone repeating the spam, just as the spammer would like to happen. If you want to delete your post that had the spammers message in it, you can do so yourself. Anytime you want to delete a message OF YOUR OWN, all you need to do is look up at the top left hand side of the message and you will see; Reply ...Forward ... View source Unwrap lines ... Delete. All you need to do is click on DELETE and then OK and you can delete your message. Another way to avoid repeating the spammers message if you reply to it; Put your cursor on the spammers email address and hold down your DELETE button and it will delete the whole message as long as you hold it there till it's all gone. Then go ahead and write your own message. I hope I'm not upsetting you or anyone when I say this. I have a yahoo board too, on weight loss, and we ignore spammers and I delete their message as quickly as I find them, but we just never reply to them. I hope this helps. Best wishes to all. .....
