As per my reply on your comment on my reply to comments post. If there is not ability to reply to comments or tag the intended response it will become very confusing to read a thread and follow conversations. If I want to reply to you and their are 10 more comments under yours, I either need to tag or reply directly to the comment in order for the conversation to make sense.
I apologize for the lifetime lifetime spams. In order to keep this forum accessible to authors and readers I need to keep the sign up process fairly easy.
In order to sign up you do need to be a real person, but occasionally these real people have an agenda not quite right for this group.
I do keep an eye out for these people and delete and block them as soon as I see they sign up.
There is also another member who has stepped up to let me know when one of these individuals slip on to the site. Since he lives in another time zone his eyes are on the page when I am not.
If you do not want to receive messages from the site when new posts, likes or other messages pop up you can go to the settings (the little wheel on the upper left) and adjust your notification settings. This way the notifications only appear on the site, not in your email.
Thank you all for your understanding. Remember, this is a community so I am very open to feedback.
