We should keep an ongoing topic of spammers.
1. Ms Goyal
Good idea!Excellent idea.Gonna have to add Ms Goyal again........I'd like to address the issue of people posting outrageous claims. It's one thing to write about what worked for you [and we DO appreciate learning about your personal experiences], but it's totally another thing to make a blanket statement declaring a cure or guarrantee to provide relief.
Claims of cures without supporting documentation and evidence of scientific studies from credible institutions of medicine are equivalent to the old time salesman at the circus, standing on the podium selling snake oil.
I'd like to suggest that we make it a practice to include referential URL link[s] prominently displayed in the post.

Is there a webmaster that can block access to these spammers?
Lee
Not to our knowledge, Lee.
That is kinda why most of us started a new board, because there was no one here to take care of the spammers and many could not retrive their passwords and had to rejoin with another user name.
Oh, and the board admin ernestpr has not logged into the forum since July 20, 2005.
But someone has to be managing the site as there are now "Ads by Yahoo!" on here.
Am away on business and using a different computer than the one I registered as Lee1234 on. Well guess what? Forgot my password isn't on this laptop; asked for it to be sent. Nothing. [Just like jooniper wrote.] Bummer. Had to re-register. I am now Lee12345.
I'd like to reiterate the list of spammers that I know of so far [not limited to the RA board]:
As already pointed out, this site obviously has no known administrator to block access to spammers - doesn't much matter since all they have to do is re-register. We all have to keep our eyes out. I'm a novice when it comes to board postings, but perhaps it's a smart ploy to post a simple reply after any spam, in large red font, that simply says: "SPAM" whenever we see a spammer posting.
Later today I will post one last message to Goyal on the Alternative Medicine board.
I haven't had a chance to check messages or the other Arthritis board link ["...Friends..."] mentioned in another posting. Will do so later.
Maybe the answer is to put a "WE"VE MOVED" message against all recent topics. Or if a global mail distribution is possible, send everyone a private message to that effect.
Later....

Hi! I think everybody here should leave this board and move to rafriends.com. There are a good bunch of helpfu people over there,,And none of this spam. Take Care! Paulboy I'm not on for awhile and everything is going to h@#$$ in a handbag!!!! I don't know about you but I hate the ads and those testimonals on the home page are from when Kimmy and kj had the site. Abotu the spammers, Lovie and jooniper know how I feel about people who claim they have a cure for ra!!!!
arthritisinsight.com does not appear to be administered. Check out site:
Many of us have moved there.

I agree with Lee the website link under goyal's name in alternative meds has a virus attached do not open the website my computer protection program warned me about it. If you open the site do a scan of you computer immediately to make sure your computer isn't invaded. THIS IS NO JOKE!!!! Meme
