Thanks to those of you who alerted me to our "spammer." I have to say, I was TOTALLY impressed with those of you who publicly called him/her out in wall comments. What a great network you are!
I run several networks that are larger than this one, and spammers are becoming an increasingly difficult issue. Even though we haven't had a lot of problems yet, I'm setting the network to require approval before some who joins is accepted. That should help us in the future.
The National Vitiligo Foundation today offered to pay the monthly fee to have the Google ads removed from the site, so HUGE kudos and thanks to them. Be sure to express your appreciation to Raymond, Randy, and Johnny as you correspond with them!
I've also noticed some "romantic" comments that have made me a little uncomfortable. We are definitely here to socialize as well as learn about Vitiligo, but I will delete someone from the network who is making repeated romantic overtures to multiple members of the network.
Hope you're all having a great weekend. I've gotten my purple wristband and am wearing it proudly now every day!
You need to be a member of Vitiligo Friends to add comments!
