VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997.

We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Pressing enter to repeat a post not hacking.
In reply to: arthur 's message, "hackers" on 16:23:58 12/19/00 Tue

Dear Arthur,

Although posting the same message repeatedly may be considered spamming (and is against our user agreement), it is not hacking. Hacking is a deliberate attempt at breaking into a system (although that's not necessarily the best definition).

Regarding removing the posts: There's no way of mass-selecting posts to delete, so your only two choices are to mark all the messages as deleted in the Message Manager, or to clear your forum of all messages.

If the person continues, you may want to look into banning them from reading/posting to your forum. There is help on this available in the Security/Access configuration area (and its links to our help section).

Sincerely,
Brandon
