Hi Linda, Yep, You put them in the right place... BET lots of people had to put their hands out for this scolding and rightly so. PEACE and Love to all!

Hi Linda, It is my observation lately that I don't have to delete a lot of posts any longer as not many people read my forums, so I normally don't create them anymore. Plus if I had a dollar for each invitation......well lets just say I a big dinner or two each week. However your post is on target.

Dear Linda, I couldn't agree more. I think it is rude to go post a blatant ad as a forum thread on someone else's forum. I just had to remove one myself. The gentleman then removed himself from my forum. If he doesn't want to learn from me, that is just fine and his choice. I will not tolerate "forum spam", nor would I do that to anyone else. And I'm venting, lol, thanks! Sincerely,

Hi, Linda, I raised this point a while ago and, while I didn't get a great deal of response, it was pointed out that this phenomenon has been getting worse since paid membership was introduced. (I haven't been around long enough to say, one way or the other). It was rather amusing for me when I was feeling really bad, recently, when an ad was posted in a forum to tell me all my ills would vanish if I drank this green and purple striped juice of the monkey puzzle tree. I didn't but still got better. Maybe the chuckling did it? Regards Arthur

Hi Linda, Im with you 100% on this one. although I have not been a member long and have yet to start a forum I have observed this on other forums that I post to. In my opinion it is very rude to take advantage of other people's forums to advertise your business. "just my 2 cents"... Kind regards Mairead
