It is really so sad when someone wants to hijack a forum where we are actually helping each other. For what? attention? scamming? both…

I try to flag most of them when I see them, but it is really just disheartening.

For anyone who is not familiar with it, please do not click on links or make phone calls to anything that is unsolicited.

    Susan, I've done the same: FLAG everything. The whole feed was full of spam this morning. I also sent a message to the Moderators. I see they have posted that they are working on strategies to address.

    Yes - I flagged over 33 on this side, and there were at least a few on the 'parent' side.

    just. sad.

    Thanks for doing that JeriLynn and SusanB-dil. I saw some spam a few nights ago and flagged those, and they were gone by the morning. I'm happy the moderators are on that.
