Moderator needs to start blocking senders

[Guest guest]

This is supposed to be Alternative Answers group.

What are all these spam emails off topic doing here?

It is wasting my time reading through my digest. Is there

something that can be done with this? Am I the only one

confused on this?

If you will look at your expanded headers, you'll notice

that the last post containing this string:

X-eGroups-Approved-By: yogiguruji <yogiguruji via web;

is this post:

I guess " yogiguruji " went on vacation & left us on our own

instead of delegating another Moderator??

No, you aren't the only one confused by this nonsense and horse crap that has

plagued our group as of late! It really sucks to have to put up with this junk.

I hope it's remedied quickly.

 

Ugh.

Is there a moderator? I didn't think there was since the last round of

complaints. I've never belonged to a group that had so many problems.

report it to . You can also report the offending

reports to .

I can't imagine anyone going through 852 messages...in 7 days. That's

quite a comittment. I assume the moderators are voluntary, and we are

all here to cull whatever good we can. My opinion, though also annoyed

by some posts, is that rigid guidelines and censorship are what a group

like this tries to avoid, rather entertaining what is not the

mainstream or standard. Alternative is . . . well . . . alternative,

and we might be healthy to embrace the diversity in approach and

personality. Unless something is repeatedly inappropriate and thought

to be so by a large majority of the group, we should feel free to skip

over it. These messages are not in our face so to speak, they are

rather available to us. For best mental health and access to as many

options as possible, it might be healthiest to choose not to take any

individual messages or responses personally. Some are also more

talented at expressing themselves, and certainly there are cultural

differences. And that's quite enough from me

If the messages are inapproiate then the E-Mail it came from should be deleted

from the group. It seems what ever group you join there is always some one who

thinks they are funny or people who use the group to make money some how. I

think more information should be taken before they are allowed to join. The

group doesn't have to be huge it can just be a small group of selected people.

Anyway I enjoy this group and I have learned a lot of great information. For

the most part some people seems to really need help with health issues. The

people that respond back seem very knowledgable and sincere. Lets try to keep

it that way. The ones that think they are funny will one day have a serious

illness and really need the help of the group and we will think they are just

joking and not take them seriously. Or they just may not be in the group at

all.

I agree 100%! I wouldn't be surprised at ALL if someone is being PAID by

Drug Companies to come in here aa an Agitator and to " Disprupt " it's

activities as to the Point where People LEAVE!

 

I was just explaining to one Member directly of how that happened to a

150 Person Peace & Justice Group we had in NJ in 2004 ... 102 People

left due to the success of the " Agitators " .

 

If there isn't a Moderator, there SHOULD be one!

My concern is that each of us has a threshhold, a viewpoint and a

history that shapes us. How can any ONE moderator be responsible to

what I believe are thousands of us, each with our own individual

tolerances?

- I established this e-mail address as a sanctuary for healing! I

informed my family and friends that I want nothing but healing

discussed on this address. I am a Reiki Practitioner.And my M.D. did me

more harm than good. After years of absence,,I'm back to what I feel is

real. I joined this group and others so that I could receive, and maybe

give help. I have been bombarded by spammers, etc. I feel that if you

have a web site,,you could say, " if you need more info " ,, go here. But

I think also,, since this is being, or was, moderated, yes the

moderaters need to be more alert.But you also need to be aware that

this is happening on all the groups that I'm involved with. The

Moderators might just feel that what theyy let through is a good

thing,, since " It's all good " , Peace andlove to all of you! -- In

The moderator may be a away.

The best way to deal with obnoxious

senders is to ignore them.

 

Otherwise we get everything irritating

multiple times: once as sp#am, then as

200 complaints about the sp#am, etc.

Please everyone:

I am pretty sure Andrew is away.

This shows everyone how much garbage

he used to take care of! Kind of like

seeing the house turning to chaos

when mother goes away.

 

He'll be back, and maybe some of us

should offer to help with the moderator

work.

MEMBERS BEFORE LEAVING OR IF DER IS A CRISIS THEN

APPOINTING A CO MODERATOR FOR MEMBERS TO GO THRU SUCH

TRUMATIC AND USELESS MAILS...

CONTRIBUTING IN THE GROUP TILL ANDREW COMES BACK AND

TAKES OVER ND WE NEED TO INSIST FOR A CO MODERATOR AS

WELL...THIS IS A SOLUTION THAT I CAN

SUGGESTION...DUNNO HOW MANY WUD AGREE...THANK U
