There have been quite a few lately, why are they targeting us for IBSers, like our lives aren't stressful enough!!

They are not targetting IBSers in particular. They really don't care who is using the board or why they are using it. They simply look for message boards that are easy to access to post their ads. Unfortunately the only thing we can do is ignore them.

Just ignore them. Don't give them the power of stressing you out!

I think spammers are starting to realize that email doesn't work, and maybe message boards are a better target. In any event, don't let it stress you out - treat it like any other post on here, and if the content isn't to your liking, don't read it.

Heather deletes things as quickly as she can, but of course she's very busy, and I'm sure the holidays were just as crazy for her as they are for the rest of us. She'll clean things up as soon as she can!
