Hi,I'm new here, how's it going?"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein---Jeannettehttp://www.< edit >.com/ < edit >

I received the same message today. From a new member , I do not know who she/he is... Hope it will help the bartender to avoid spamming...
 
Okay folks,
I'm a moderator, but until now I didn't realise I had sufficient access rights to deal with this!

I've banned "Jeannette" for a day, and passed your complaints (which I've also had from others via pm) on to Brian.

On behalf of Al's Place I'd like to apologise for this disruption to the normal service, and I'm sure Brian will have it dealt with soon.

"You now have to post at least 5 times on the forums before being allowed to pm. This is to try and help stop the spammers."

I guess this is why I cannot access private messages. I'm still too new. -- Hello!

Sorry guys - I have the user banned permanently now. I try to look carefully at each membership submission before approving, but some spammers really make themselves look legit.

Thanks for the heads up everyone and for understanding!

That's true - just join in the conversations about three more times and you'll be able to private message. :)
