Hi CL people-I am not sure if this is the right place for me to ask this question, but the healthy living board is getting frequent (and obvious)plugs for another web site. We BBers are a very territorial group ( http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif ) and I think I speak for many of us when I say that it is getting ANNOYING (sorry about yelling). Is there anything ya'll can do? Thanks for reading this!

Just to elaborate, in case you've somehow missed the "plugs," they're from Nestle's web site, www.verybestmeals.com, (http://www.verybestmeals.com,) and they're slowly deluging both the Great Foods and Healthy Living boards. Apparently they've chosen to ignore the "no solicitating" message on the registration screen...

I've made a few adjustments to help prevent these specific solicitations. This is just about all I can do without resorting to legal action. We'll see if this helps.

Thanks all. (Your badges are in the mail...)

On behalf of the entire bb police force (and, trust me, there are a lot of us!), thanks Maelynn for trying to fix the problem!

The enemy struck this evening, so we were able to see the fruits of your experiment.

Very clever, Maelynn. I like it. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif
