Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 How many times are we going to get this off-topic post? I have no choice but to treat further posts about HIV dating/chatting/meeting sites or groups as spam or trolling, delete them and edit the poster's membership controls to where further posts have to be individually approved. As stated before, HIV positive people and those interested in rememdies for HIV, such as oleander, are welcome to this group - but HIV dating/chatting sites, or any other kind of dating, meeting and/or sites are NOT appropriate topics for this group and this same post (now deleted) has been made over and over again. And once again folks, please read back over the other posts and/or do a search before posting so that you are not repeating what has already been posted. Thanks for your cooperation. oleander soup , " nysimonrobinson " <nysimonrobinson wrote: > > We invite you to our HIV group (post edited) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Try labeling each as spam, and make complaint to the system administrator at . I do not know of more that you can do.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Well, I am not sure. Dr. G had a good suggestion about reporting the messages as spam and reporting to the systems administrator at . What I am doing now is deleting the posts and changing the member settings so that their messages must be approved by me before they will post. If it continues, I may automatically set all new members to moderated posts that must be approved individually for a set period of time until I believe that they are legitimate members making legitimate posts. I try to give the benefit of the doubt, but the dating/chat posts and a prior repeated post about free CD's that let to a site that was defunct and loaded a trojan virus, all made almost immediately after the posting member joined the group, make me wonder if some folks are joining groups with a private agenda that has little or nothing to do with the group. One way or another, I WILL stop it on my group! Even if that means picking up one or two assistant moderators and making ALL posts moderated. And thanks to the large majority of you who are here for the right reasons. It is you that I serve as best I can. oleander soup , Orus Moon <orusmoon11 wrote: > > Tony, know of anyway.....I can stop this dating chat crap from getting into my mailbox?
