Hello everyone - I am now subscribed to Selecting Fabrics as it is the area our "spammers" are most likely to place non-quilting related posts. I check the site each morning and each evening as well as when I am notified during the day. There is a chance a post will be done at night (Pacific Standard Time) and it will be on the site a few hours until I can delete it. We have increased the security on the site - if you look at the URL it now reads with https to protect our members. However, since the forum is open to the public, there can be inappropriate posts. We will be adding extra controls for posts in the coming weeks and are doing our best to discourage the "spammers" and maintain a safe place for our members. Our other option is to make the Forum available to STAR members only, however, this is not something we want to do. Our goal is to support the entire quilting community as a quilting resource for everyone. Please bear with us as we implement security measures without impacting our loyal users.

thanks for the note - it is deleted now and the user is not able to post.

HI, I'm not sure where I can post this so that this will be seen by those who need to correct the issue. It is currently 4:40 Pacific Time, and there is a spam entry that was created at 2:14. So far, there have been 4 views. I did not open the post, instead I just set my cursor on the title, and was able to see that this is definitely spam.

If there is a better area to post in, please let me know, and I hope this is helpful.

Kathy
