The new crop of spammers are real people and are nearly impossible to spot before they spam. They answer all the tricksey questions I ask at sign up. There aren't many of them but they are super annoying.

If you see anyone spamming the group please alert  ComfortableShoes so that I can deal with the issue immediately. Posting a discussion doesn't let me know very quickly. When you send me an "inbox message" it gets forwarded to my cell phone and I can deal with the issue almost immediately. (As soon as I can get to a computer/wifi.) And yeah, I'll pull over at the first available spot with Wifi and serve the spammer up a been steaming stack of bancakes. I hate spammers.

Please know that as long as you don't answer their comments directly from your email your email is safe. I would suggest that until you have conversed with someone on ANY site a few times and know they are "real" that all communication go through the site. Ning has and inbox and comments section to PROTECT YOU and your information from unsavory spammers. Keep communication on the site until you know them, and keep your info safe.

(If you DID send them an email, you should go ahead and change your password, just in case, no need to change your whole email address. Any further spam they send you SHOULD be caught in your spam filter.)

I apologize for the interruption of our regular art journaling programing, now head on over to "New To Art Journaling" and dig into some of that great AJ information.

Now, get back to art journaling!
