spam visitor message!! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

least · 01-26-2009, 04:53 PM

It says this message is moderated. And my notifications say it's awaiting approval! I don't want to approve it, I want to get rid of it! As in, permanently. How do I mark it for unapproval? How do I get rid of it? Ugh. I went to the sender's profile, intending to tell her to STOP DOING THAT, but there was no contact info, only statistics. This is aggravating. How do I get that crap off my visitor messages?

Thanks!

Ok, never mind. I deleted it after I found out how to do that. Spammers suck!

Yea..I got it too. What a loser. I deleted mine when I first signed on.

The spammer's name is Jessie911. SHe's got about 25 posts, according to her profile. Even had the nerve to reply to a thread talking about honesty!

She has been banned and we are asking members to remove/delete her visitor message spams. It's an area that is difficult for us mods to see or remove.

Thank you to all who reported her. It's people like her who make a lot of work for everyone.

Click on 'edit' to the right of the message, then check 'delete' and that should do it.

Exactly.

And like Ann said, if you find one on your own page you can delete it yourself. We know about it, have taken care of the spammer, and are going through member pages and removing the posts as well.

hey Chris click on the box next to the message and then at teh bootom of the message click on delete.

spam spam spam - yuk.

I was surprised as I have only seen spam here once in nearly 4 years, I suspect the Mods and admin get it before we see it. Thnaks guys.

Doug · 01-28-2009, 01:18 AM

I took care of it for you Zing.

If anybody else is having trouble removing one, please post here in this thread or send me a PM.
