Ugh! I hate those dead-end posts!

sparkys2boys replied:
me either.. hmmies it seems weird that you are getting them there

JadensMama05 replied: I get email notifications at my Yahoo mail and I have it set up so all my notifications go straight into a "Parenting Club" folder. I get them all the time. Do you guys not even have to deal with those then?

sparkys2boys replied: no, sorry I don't get them. I keep my emails all separate, so that could be why.

mckayleesmom replied: I get a notice in my yahoo mail if someone from here has pmed me, but I have never gotten spam.

Jamison'smama replied: I'm confused too. Is there a setting where all new posts are sent to your email?

punkeemunkee'smom replied: I think there is a setting where you can get a notice of all new replies to a post you subsribe to and maybe one for all new posts in general but I did not realize we got that much spam on here....maybe PM Rod to see if he can help you figure it out!

redchief replied: That's correct. You can choose to have replies and posts forwarded to your email if you so desire. I'm sorry the spammers are making a mess for you. We try our best but they are a persistent bunch.

C&K*s Mommie replied: Maybe you could undo the email notifications, and just limit them to pm notifications. This may alleviate some of the spam.

There is a button at the top of the pages called Today's Topics that have all the posts from that day listed, and you can review that to find current topics.

JadensMama05 replied: Yeah it's actually a lot easier to just got to "Today's Posts" instead of having to check each email to see what post it's about and all that. I do both really.

It's not THAT big of a deal. I mean it's a little irritating (and I did just get done got thru about 5 of them - good thing I know not to even bother clicking the link) but I can handle it. I didn't mean to complain about the site at all. I love this site. This is the only place I really visit online. But I know that spammers can be hard to catch. There's millions and millions isn't there? I've never had an email without atleast some spam so.. I dunno. I didn't mean to complain tho. I'm sorry. I feel kinda bad now...

C&K*s Mommie replied: Don't feel bad. It was no one's (especially me) intention to make you feel bad, and I personally did not think you were complaining.

JadensMama05 replied:
Oh, thank you. I guess I've been kinda down lately so I'm taking things all wrong and stuff...

redchief replied:
I meant no disrespect or denigration either. We really want no part of spammers here either. Unfortunately they have other goals and objectives.

punkeemunkee'smom replied: Oh did not think you were saying anything bad about the site...just thinking outloud so to speak Don't feel bad! Things can get so turned around in type! I don't think anyone felt you were doing anything other than venting!

JadensMama05 replied: *Sigh* I'm glad that you guys feel that way. I never meant to insult anyone or the site or anything. I was just venting. Glad you guys are here for me to vent to!
