Yikes, no I didn't receive it, but I'm named in it...? Weird. It's too bad that sick puppies can sometimes still get through, even though we have the best mods in Cyberspace. Sigh.

Again, please do not continue discussion of this Email. You are free to discuss methods of how to avoid such Emails, and what to do about them. No, Holly, they are not coming through the PM system. It was sent using an anonymous Email service. If you have specific questions, you can Email us at Moderator@tvclubhouse.com

Holly I didn't receive it. I meant that even though we have the best mods in the cyber-universe, they can't control what type of person becomes a member here if those people put on a good face here. Hope that makes sense. I find this whole topic VERY distressing, frankly. But it's good that we know about it, so these people are exposed, if not them, then at least what they are doing.

LOL Ginge, Well they ARE the best mods in Cyberspace! LOL mwah! (That's me kissing up... LOL.) No surprises there, they KNOW I wuvs them. ETA, seriously, from what I've heard about other websites, we are VERY lucky these guys 'n gals give a damn. I've heard that other sites tend to encourage a nasty free-for all. (shudder)

I think it's best not to let these kinds of things bother you. Think of it this way, do you respect the person that did it? Of course not. Then why do you care what they think? Pffft.

Well if they are picking on the likes of OG & DC... that makes no sense at all. They're some of the sweetest, most loving and caring Juju-figments here in Cyberspace. ETA, sorry - feel free to delete this... didn't mean to continue the discussion.

-----> I have a feeling whoever is sending these is enjoying all the brouhaha. Best thing to do, IMHO, is to alert the mods privately and then ignore it. All the attention feeds into it all.

Man, I always miss the "good stuff." Herm, if it was sent via anon. email could have been more spammy than anything?? They might not even be looking here. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I've got my email "hidden" in my profile, but I should check to make sure.

i'm confused about something or maybe i'm missing something since i just found this thread. but, am i to understand even those these things are happening off the board in private emails that the mods have control over them too? if so, i am majorly impressed!

No you don't, Twinkie. Those kinds of emails are no fun. And you might be surprised by some of the people that send them. No fun at all. It's fun to joke about them and getting them...but it is not fun to get one.

ok, so I don't usually open an email unless I know who it is from and I assume most people are this way? so how are these emails getting thru?

If a Private Message (PM) is sent using the TVCH board software, the sender will be easily identified as part of the PM. However, personal emails may be sent from any email account and are therefore not traceable by the board software. Nevertheless, if the email references discussions at TVCH, the Moderators will be pleased to assist Members in taking steps to ensure that they are less vulnerable to this sort of email abuse. People have different habits and methods for handling their email. Some people tend to view all of their messages, some people manually filter and only view ones from known sources, while other people have their email programs set to automatically filter out undesirable messages.

Well I'm bummed, cuz I get about 30% of the (nice) PM's that are sent to me from my clubhouse pals... And when I send my PM's about maybe 1/2 of them get through if I'm lucky, so I usually pop my email into member's folders if I want them to contact me and vice versa. Sigh. In other words... PM's are terrific when they work, but they don't always work for me or some of the folks who've tried to get hold of me via PMs.

To the best of my recollection, we have not received many (any?) messages regarding problems with the PM system here. If anyone who encounters a problem could send us a note, we'll be happy to look into it and find out what is happening.

Thanks Jimmer, that's what I was wanting to know. I am always so scared that I will get some kind of virus that I have probably deleted a friendly email or two.

Jimmer, how does one filter to receive only emails from known sources. I'm getting killed with spam. Everytime I give my email online to a company (banks, amazon, anything, I seem to get hit with 100's of spams and it lasts for weeks and weeks. So where do I find this filter, please? (I'm not too computer savvy <sigh>)

It depends on the email program that you are using, Holly. Which one are you using?

Denecee, just get a mac!! That'll eliminate virtually all viruses! Well it won't eliminate them, but it'll protect itself from them.
