    Question Newbie question

    I made posts in areas which had NO new posts.
    I posted in the pregnancy board, homeschooling board, pre-schoolers
    maybe another one. Now I see my posts are gone why ?

    I posted homeschools sites, how to meet moms in your area,
    special offers for expect moms, sites to read childrens books online.

    I just confused as to why these would be deleted.

    Hi Heavenly!

    Unfortunately the type of posts you made were very typical of what we like to call 'drive by spammers.' They come in, post a bunch of messages with what appears to be real, relative, content but they have an ulterior motive of getting the link in their signature line out there for people to see.

    Posting just a few links in a board that hasn't been used for a long time is typical of spammers as well.

    That's why your posts were deleted.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Otherwise, welcome to The Idea Box!

    I wasn't spamming.
    I even posted the fathers Day stuff here, before posting it at my site.
    As I said in my intro, I found this site while looking for crafts for toddlers.

    I posted the link to this site at another Parents message board where someone asked for the crafts. If the link in my siggy is a problem,
    its no problem to take it out. I allow it at my site.

    I took time to look for things to post here.
    sorry if I offeneded anyone, not my intention.

    I don't think you offended anyone....we just get a lot of bulk spamming her and the administraters have been doing a great job lately of preventing it.

    Just keep posting regular post and you'll bee one of us before you know it....LOL.
    Enjoy Today
