    I check in here each day, sometimes a couple of times and find it hard to believe that no-one has yet wiped clean the rubbish that has been clogging this site up.

    All these dodgy questions from the same people, scammers has been here to days.

    Can someone get rid of it PLEASE?

    First time on here for 2 days…..looks like all of the other Mods / Admin are on holidays as well.

    Just spent an hour getting rid of the worst of them.

    Please point out any more to me and I’ll get them wiped as well.

    are you talking about people using the posts for advertising or newbes asking where the positive cash flow stuff are or how the “11 second solution” works?

    What’s more annoying?

    Give the newbies a chance, they want to learn. [grad]

    For me the scams are most annoying. [grrr]

    I am happy to answer any question even if it was posted 1,000,000 times before. It is very hard for newbies to go through old topics and try to dig out the gems they need for their current situation. [strum]

    From a newbie – thanks!
    I know my questions have generally been asked before and I do do a search on old posts, but everyone has individual circumstances, so I do appreciate those who take the time to respond.

    Hi Mods,

    Instead of just deleting the spam, are you able to block the user’s IP address to stop them from re-offending? You should be able to.

    I do not think the initial slur was against any Newbies rather against that pest with mulitple names and email addresses offering million dollar loans etc.

    As someone mentioned most likely one of those Nigerian pranksters

    I wrote the initial post and certainly did not mention newbies. It was mentioned later in another post and I am certain it was meant tongue in cheek.

    After all, we were all newbies once, and I wish I had had this forum to read 25 years ago. I still have questions although I don’t regard myself as a newbie as such. We can all learn, no matter how experienced we are.

    Wylie,
    It wasn’t you – all the comments I had read to date were about people being annoyed by the spammers. It was Dr X that made the comments about newbies asking annoying questions.

    Personally,
    I love all the Newbie questions – it draws out the helper within; I love to help those who want help if I can.
    Not only that, I get to talk to like-minded people – they are in short supply around here in L.A.
    But it also makes me think a bit more and re-remember stuff I take for granted now.
    Bring ’em on!

    Cheers,
    Marc.
