Just for your info ... a couple of days ago I did remove 7 spammers and delete
their messages . I do this from time to time ...The only way to get rid of the
spammers is to screen people that join, or read the messages before allowing
them to post .
I'd rather not have to screen messages , i'm in a group that screens messages
and they sometimes wait a week to approve the message .

I agree. I did not realize when I signed up for the
Alanon message board, that I would receive
solicitation for everything from insurance to dating.
I am very disappointed. This goes against the Alanon
mission where we are not supposed to use the group to
market our own initiatives. This is about self
growth, facing issues and dealing with alcoholism. We
need trust, honesty and integrity to acheive these
goals. Solicitation interferes with our quest to
achieve these goals.

Let's try to reassess the groups mission and live
according to Alanon's truths.

Thank you.
