Have a look at that one. He appears to be an advertiser to me.

There's some new "groups" that seem to be a bit… non-writer-ish.

Thanks, Tamsin. I flagged them for deletion and deleted the spammers' accounts.

Ha. ha... great description. I got that same feeling after I befriended someone recently and then got a "thank you" note with an invitation to "chat." I didn't respond, thinking I'd wait and see. I'm going to guess, without mentioning the name, that this was one of them...

Re: Spammer has joined - Please delete them
In the past (ok, almost entirely on Booksie, which I'm on the verge of withdrawing my work from as well, just to get my "public archive" in one place), I've ignored spammers. Heck, a couple of times I taunted them by saying that they probably were spammers, and that I had no money to spend, but they were welcome to try.
However, one recent attempt (and I'm pretty sure we all know who I'm talking about) has annoyed the hell out of me. It's one thing to use dummy names with a bunch of numbers. But the gall.
Anyway, if I notice anything else i'll bring it up. Thanks for the quick resolution, Dirk, and I like your message on there.

Thanks, Mitch. She's gone, but will probably return. Bill had already closed a number of accounts belonging to her.

Stupid question guys, how do you delete them? I just sent one my publishers details as they would handle this.

Be afraid, Morag. Be very afraid! There are some with dark powers lurking about. :-)

I've got to admit they are industrious for finding and reviewing (solicitation) four of my stories in one day, none of which have been published in several years. Credit where credit is due, lol. Take care. Vern
