To anyone who applies to join Spiritual Circles.
 
Due to the growing number of people applying to join the group who turn out to be interested only in spamming and advertising internet dating and religious dating websites, and who don't contribute anything other than this to the group, I feel I need to make our terms known again for anyone who has not read our rules on our welcome page.
 
If anyone slips through the net please note that your links and spam will never be posted in this group because all messages need to be approved by me before appearing in the group and I will not allow them to be posted.
 
Anyone trying to posting spam will be added to a name and shame list so that all other MSN groups can be aware of you and you will also be reported to MSN as well as being banned.
 
Please note the specifics of our rules and regulations:-
 
Our Policy:
 
We would like this to be a haven - a place free of negative vibes therefore we will not tolerate any abusive behaviours in this group nor will we allow bad language, bullying or harrassing of any kind to any members in this group.
The policy is simple, treat others as you wish to be treated ie with respect :0)

Please note:- The manager(s) and/or assistant manager(s) reserve the right to move, remove, alter/change or replace any unsuitable content which would cause offence to other members or people visiting this group site without consultation.
 
Anyone found  joining the group under false pretences ie with the sole purpose of advertising a service, business, product, website, any kind of spamming or joining the group only to promote their own Paranormal Msn group(s) will be banned without warning.

Anyone joining and accepted into this group must contribute
to the group by way of joining in the discussions and commenting on current posts, preferably responding to all new message posts*
 
 Members are encouraged to provide links to their own
personal websites/pages and to submit pictures, stories, submit articles and information and post messages relating to the paranormal.
 
It is also a requirement of the group, that when applying to join, you
give us your reasons for wanting to join the group, ie all about your interest in the paranormal and how you feel you would fit in with our group.

Dear Members
 
Please note that today I received an email from MSN saying that if  I did not remove the Name and Shamed List from the group within 48 hours that they would close this group down.
 
I have removed the page but have emailed them back to find out why they find the page unacceptable. I read their terms and conditions and Code of Conduct and it states that spamming or harrassing other groups and members is a violation and yet, as this is what has happened to us reguarly ie the same spammers joining the group under false names and posting/and attempting to post spam as well as a member that joined and harrassed a few of our members.
 
All I was doing, as a manager, was looking after my group and members by alerting other msn groups to these people so they could protect their own groups but I guess that MSN do not see this and that the spammers and harrassers are allowed to get away scot free.
 
Before deciding to post a name and shame list in the group I trawled msn's FAQ's and help menus and nowhere could I find the correct facility to report the people that spammed in this group and the people who harrassed some of our members and nowhere could I find anything that allowed me to report user names and email addresses so that MSN could deal with it themselves.
 
As I say, I have removed the page as requested by MSN but I am now not going to be approving any more new members for the foreseeable future to this group because I am sick and tired of my efforts to protect this group being wasted and at times being made a mockery of. I put so much hard work into this group yet sometimes I wonder why I bother.
 
Thanks to the existing members who still support the group.

Thank you for writing back to MSN Groups.

We have found your group to be in violation of the MSN Code of Conduct. Violations include harassment and illegal or offensive behavior.

Please note that posting of personal information such as email address, full name, E-bay ID are allowed within a group just as long as the information has the consent or permission of the owner.  
 
We  have checked the inappropriate material in your “SpiritualCirclesâ€�?group and found that they were already deleted in compliance with the 48-hour warning we sent you.

We also gather that you are having a problem with members in your group, whose sole purpose of joining the group is to post spam.

Please note that the only way to keep out disruptive members is to ban them from the group. However, if they happen to create new Windows Live ID and manage to slip past your screening, we advise that you just ban them again as there is no feature that would allow monitoring of their new e-mail accounts. Though this may be difficult but that is the best way to prevent such an occurrence to happen again. Such measures should ensure that no one who intends anything mischievous is put in a position to be able to do so.

Rest assured that your group would remain accessible.

We hope that you will continue to monitor the contents of your group, especially the posts made by your members to avoid possible violation.

For a complete description of content that is not allowed on MSN Groups, please visit our Code of Conduct at:

http://groups.msn.com/conduct

Thank you for using MSN Groups.


Sincerely,

Candice
MSN Groups Customer Support

Hi Mary,
 
Lovely to hear from you. 
 
I think that the problem MSN had is that I posted email addresses of the spammers without their consent (even though those email addresses and user ID's were used once by the spammers to spam and then deleted by the spammers themselves so they cant get caught) but, because I posted the details, MSN think it was a violation of the spammers rights I suppose.
 
Anyway thanks for your support and your kind comments. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
 
All the best
 
Spirit x

Hi Jo
 
Well I've calmed down a bit now but am still peeved about it all.
 
It would be really helpful if you could see what method your friend uses to check email addys, as that might help keep out the spammers out of our group.
 
I hope your ok. Im not too bad, just climbing the walls.
 
Bye for now and take care
Love Spirit x
