About the moderator...

[Guest guest]

Hi Lara and all those that have posted a question about the moderator of

this site. I am not totally sure of this but I am assuming that this site is

run by the son of a friend of Dr. Bihari. I am also assuming that person is

not actually moderating this site like other sites are moderated. I think it

was very kind of him to take on the responsibility of organizing it but he's

probably someone that has a full time job and is not at all devoted to

internet things. As I said, I could be wrong but this is my take on the

whole situation. I don't think it does any good to post messages to him

about these types of things cuz I seriously doubt that he reads the

messages. Not sure that they expected this group to grow to the size that it

has grown. If anyone has any other info about the situation, please post it

here but I think that is it. JoyceF

Subject: spammers and banning

Hi gang,

I've noticed a lot of spamming activity on the forums again

lately. I moderate another health group and we have been hit several

times in the last few weeks. These buttheads sign on, join, drop

their load of crap, sales pitch, or annoying religious chatter...and

then unsubscribe in the blink of an eye.

I don't see a posted list of members that would help us identify the

owner and/or moderator of this message board. But my advice for now

would be to restrict all new members to a moderated status until they

have posted several messages. It would require the site moderator to

do a bit of extra work, checking the validity of the members before

allowing their messages to post, but it would save the rest of us

from having to read the crap that slips by. And make the digests alot

less cumbersome!

This strategy has worked very well over on a thyroid forum I

moderate. Can anyone identify the site owner here? Or a moderator?

Hallooooo?
