Awful...Awful....

I agree, this is absolutely awful. I know a few of the ladies here were working on ways of preventing this from happening. I know Joe use to be able to close a thread. Perhaps we can start closing old threads after a certain amount of time has passed. I know other websites do this - for example all threads automatically close after 90 days. They are still searchable and available but no one can add to it after that. I don't know if this solution would work for everyone though since sometimes we like to add new information to old threads. Just an idea. It is truly awful when a spammer brings up an old and painful thread. Shame on them is right!

The spam is annoying. It is especially hurtful, because it interferes with the exchange of important information and the sharing of good and bad times by people with major health problems who need support.
