Thanks for posting this Gareth, I was about to post something similar. Quite a few members will have got the same PM.

 

I can explain the sudden removal of the profile...I deleted this member. We get spammers and other dodgy people joining the site from time to time and we endeavour to remove them as quickly as we can.

 

Regards,

 

John :heartraining:

It is generally believed that the word Spam in relation to email came from the Monty Python sketch..spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam, baked beans and spam...the woman in the sketch doesn't like spam and yet everything on the menu contains spam. In the sketch the word spam is repeated constantly and is very annoying to the woman.

 

Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam, lovely spam, wonderful spam...

 

more on the sketch from Wikipedia

 

We go to a lot of trouble to try to stop the spammers and their spam. Most you will not see but occasionally one gets through. Some you can spot immediately but others look just like any normal member until they launch their spam which we then delete along with the member.

 

Regards,

 

John :lol4:

About Us

Founded in 2004, MS People UK is a community website and discussion forum by and for people with Multiple Sclerosis as well as for friends, families, supporters and those interested in this disabling condition.

If you’re newly diagnosed or want to ask about possible first symptoms, or if you’ve had Relapse Remit, Secondary or Primary Progressive MS for some time, a welcoming group of fellow MS sufferers is here to chat with you about MS symptoms, diagnosis and treatments.

The atmosphere is friendly whilst being compassionate, supportive and caring. Members also post about a variety of subjects not related to MS, as well as share jokes, talk about their hobbies, have fun, and more.
