Re: [Suicide] Ads

I sure do agree with you, Joe. I get those ads sometimes several times a day,
but nothing from anyone who may really need this group! It's a shame.

Seeing these ads in this group is why I rarely visit now. It's
probably why most have stopped coming into this group. This is no
place for advertisements.

It used to be a nice, safe place to come and leave your thoughts. A
place where people cared and wanted to talk. Now, it's being spammed
by ads, most of a sexual nature, and it's the wrong forum for this
kind of thing.

Just my thoughts on the subject.

Joe

I'm not blaming you or suggesting that you take a more active approach. Instead, I think it's pretty bad that advertisers are now using groups to spread their...

You can set it up so that only new members are moderated. The SPAMers don't stick around long enough to send more than one or two messages, and anyone who...

Thank you! I was never aware that there was an option for that- every time I tried to do something, it was all or nothing. It is definitely set up now, so we...
