Hello Out There!

I sent an Email. I want to be a Moderator to Stop!t spam!

If you don't like Spam? Contact Jennifer VanBenschoten. and sign up to be a Moderator.

Maybe if, there are enough Moderators, between alll of us, we can delete the Spammers. They will move onto other forums. and leave us to "Beading"

Just my opinion!

Just did that. I am willing, anything to get our beloved BD back to spam free.

Glad to see that you're both going for moderator -- you're the first ones I thought of.  I don't have enough experience (or any idea what's involved).  Good luck to you both.

Mary, with your and Sue's sharp eyes I have every confidence we'll soon have our beloved beading site all to ourselves again.  Good luck, girls, and a big beady hug from me!

Thanks, I never been a "Moderator", I have no idea what the guidelines are. But, I do know spam when I see it.

My Grandmother, use to tell me, "if you can say,"somebody should do something", If your somebody, Why aren't you doing it"

On the 17th of Jan, I got email from Jen, I accepted the "Moderator", She emailed me and said, "she'd set me up in the afternoon". NOT a WORD since... so I am waiting till she has time to get back to me.

Mary, I have every confidence you'll do great.  How many years have we known each other now?  And you are kind and warm as ever, and you don't miss a beat.  I'm sure Jen will send you something soon.  Just think of it as an awesome promotion!

Hugs!

Hi Mary and Sue,

I want to thank you very much for wanting to be moderators. I don't know what it means to be one but I'm sure it will be quite some work. I'm very grateful that you both are willing to do that for us all.

Can two moderators do the job or do you need more?

Greetings from Karin.

Not sure, if more will be needed or not, I think maybe so, especially for times when we are away from our computer to a period of time, as when I go camping. No WIFI where I camp, LOL. And I am not sure just what I will be able to do from my smart phone.

Haven't heard from Jennifer yet, but I didn't expect to hear from her before tomorrow. I didn't send a message to her till late last week, and with the Holiday today here in the States, I just figured it would be Tuesday, if not later. 

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I become a moderator is all up to Jennifer and Interweave. As being retired I feel I will have enough time to check in here at least a couple of times a day.

And also to you Mary. 

However the whole form looks so different. I will have to try and figure it all out. 

Heres to the spam busters.

Hi Sue,

So glad you stepped up to the plate with this one. There is an old post Jan 7 in Step by

Step Wire Jewelry that is spam that did not get deleted. You might take a look at it.  Thanks again.

Thanks for you help.
