oh dear marlene can you get the moderator to delete it - you could put a note on the post that it did not come from the marlene we know and love from the board. Could it be another person called Marlene? Very annoying.
is there a case for this forum to have registration? Would registration stop something like this.

The post im not bothered about its not even a full post some one else with my name unlikely (not fond of it) I have left a post there no reply as to yet. If they do have the same name as me of course i will apologise for being so touchy. I was in a lot of pain this morning and i was cross when i saw it but hey ho as i say im over it. I love this forum. When i cant sleep i read all the old post some make me laugh and others want to make me cry. The registration i dont know i think maybe some people wouldnt bother with it as its a whole faff for some. I love the freedom of this site. Well Mads its time to make sunday dinner hubby been on night shift hes just getting up Bless Him (my soulmate). Take care X

It could be either another Genuine user with the same name or one of these many "New" users that are backing up all the new cure threads.

Registration would stop it however it involves a lot of messing about and very time consuming and would mean the format of the board changing to a Proboard or pbboard which are free etc but take a lot of time and effort to manage (( I have run gaming websites before))

What is good about this biard is its so easy to post. Just type and add the name and security code and you are done, however it does leave it open for double username/real names and spam attacks which we have been getting recently.

Somewhere the IP will be logged but nothing can really be done

So people Keep your chin up and lets carry on and hope everyone has a good Sunday

I agree with Lee here that it is one of the 'new users' Marlene. They are being a bit of a nuisance. We are aware of them now though and can just ignore them :-)

Glad you are okay Marlene. You take care too...x

Hi Marlene and a big hug:)
I noticed the postings done in your name and instantly knew from reading them that they were not the original Marlene as I am sure that most of the regular visitors to this site do also, they are timewasters who have looked at the site and taken the name of a member who they can recognise as being highly respected and gives good no nonsense support to everyone who posts, they obviously thought that by using your name others would be taken in and by into whatever miracle cure they had for sale.
They need to realise RA maybe be a disease that is ongoing through our lives but luckily it leaves the "I'm a moron and can easily be taken in" gene well alone....
Anyway that's my gripe over and done with, I hope the wine went down well:) xx
