Hi there: my first time on the meeting. How are you guys?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

We're doing great. There are a few things I wanted to bring up.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

First, dealing with spam.

Hi & welcome to all!

Hi :)

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

There has been some spam coming in more lately than before. If you see any postings/comments that look like spam, please report them right away.

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply toActivity2004

Sure,Admin!

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply toalwaysoptimistic

Okay! I found about 3 spam comments and postings earlier this week. From old postings about 6 months ago.

Luckysugar profile image
Luckysugar in reply toActivity2004

Do you mean those who advertise some products or treatments which tend to leave their contact numbers or addresses?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply toLuckysugar

Yes, to both. Also, they use the word "cure" and right now, unfortunately, they shouldn't because there isn't one yet. I don't want anyone's hopes messed with at all. When there is one, I will make sure EVERYONE knows.

Luckysugar profile image
Luckysugar in reply toActivity2004

Looking forward for that announcement!

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply toLuckysugar

Will do when the time comes!

suramo profile image

Ok. I'm here. Thanks

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

Would you like to add something?

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

No. But one should refrain from a direct communication with other members. This forum should act as filter to the wrong advices

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

Can you explain? I don't think I understand.

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

Direct contact between members should be avoided. a wrong unscientific advice given here on this forum will invite objection from other members and nobody could be harmed by bad advice.

Luckysugar profile image
Luckysugar in reply tosuramo

Good suggestion. Is it possible for Admin to do?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

Anyone else have a question about the spam?

I used to report any spam earlier. Off late a bit busy.

Will keep a watch now

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to

Thank you for letting me know.

suramo profile image
suramoStar

But i'd like other "notorious " members to be reinstated. They are the one who try our knowledge and keep the forum live. But i don't mean anyone's rudeness should be entertained. Respect of all the members should be maintained.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

It depends on who and what made that person be restricted/banned. Banned users can't be reinstated since they are deleted from HU completely. HU deletes the banned accounts.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

If the accounts are deleted (banned members/users), then HU upper management won't allow them to sign up again because the iP address would be the same depending on what device you use to go on the site (not just groups). Does that make sense?

suramo profile image
suramoStar

Please be generous. Our group should be as big as possible. I find really good questions from new members. We should have big horizon.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

I'm working on getting the group to be bigger. It takes time! Would you like to help get new members to sign up for the group and HU in general?

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

I'm trying. I give advice to all whom i know to be diabetic. Even to my endo friends. But the problem is that everybody is not conversant with english. May be that is one of the reasons.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

We can have someone help them with the traslation if that's necessary.

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

I'm always there but without person fluency in english i don't think it will work.

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply tosuramo

They can make conversations in hindi!वो हिंदी में संवाद कर सकते हैं!

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toalwaysoptimistic

How ? Is translation to hindi from english posts possible ?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

There's a translation program on on-line. I'll give you all the link. Hold on.....

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

Will it work efficiently ?

Thank you, alwaysoptimistic !

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply toActivity2004

You are welcome,Admin!

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toalwaysoptimistic

Ok. I didn't know that. Now should be a bit easier to raise interest of the people in this forum.😜😜😜

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply toalwaysoptimistic

I'm going to save the link as a favorite for later. Thanks!

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply tosuramo

नहीं!

उन्हें हिंदी में टाइप करना होगा.

The people are trying to make you indian 😃😃😃😄😄😄. Did you get what was written ?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

No, can you please tell me?

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply toActivity2004

Which language do you use at home,Admin?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply toalwaysoptimistic

English at home and at work for the Senior Center and Spanish traslation on line.

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply toActivity2004

OK, lo tengo!

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

I was just kidding. 😜😜. But now you try that online link to translate that hindi into english and check if that's easy to do.😃😃

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toalwaysoptimistic

Will have they to put the whole english post onto that online link to get hindi translation ?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

Yes and then click traslate for what language they want it to be.

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

Ok. I will try some other time and see if it's working easy and n ot too cumbersome.

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply tosuramo

Yes!

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

Same like with my DEXCOM postings I do (English and Spanish translation).

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply toalwaysoptimistic

That's right. No one is going to stop them from talking in Hindi. We just need someone to traslate what they say if they do postings and comments so we all know what's going on.

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

Can we improvise our software so that a direct translation either way is possible without the help of a third person ? Like we see in our parliament.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

I'm not sure about that, but you can check into it.

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

😝😝😝👍👍👍

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

If everyone finds someone to sign up for the group, we can get the group to be close to or even over the amount we have now.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

If we're ready to move on, there are a few other issues to get to. Are we ready?

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply toActivity2004

Vamos a avanzar, Admin!

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toalwaysoptimistic

what is that language ?

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply tosuramo

Spanish!

Meaning:Let us move forward,Admin!

Luckysugar profile image
Luckysugar in reply toActivity2004

What's the next issue? It is very late at my side.

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

👍👍

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

Okay, next issue.... There have been some glitches/HU issues lately. Has anyone had trouble with the PMs when trying to send them? Sometimes, they tend to be running slowly when trying to send something.

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

No. Not from my side.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

Here's a sample of Spanish: rojo= red

What about on the computer?? Any problems?

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply tosuramo

This site works good on my new mobile SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 Prime.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply toalwaysoptimistic

That's great! If anything changes, let me know and I can let HU know.

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply toActivity2004

Sure,Admin!

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply toActivity2004

It will work better on HU app which is being developed!

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toalwaysoptimistic

Kya bro. Itna kharcha karvaoge 😳😳😝😝. Well i'm trying to buy mi5s plus 6gb 128 gb but yet not launched in india. Perhaps going to be shortly.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

What about on amazon?

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

Trying. But let's go ahead with the issues of this forum. But where are my big bros cure @anup shrisamarth ?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

cure might be late.... anup said he'd come, but I will check on him later. Not sure about shrisamarth.

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply toActivity2004

Online purchase in India is not much reliable!

Luckysugar profile image
Luckysugar in reply toActivity2004

For me no PMs, no worries!

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply toLuckysugar

Good to hear it!

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toActivity2004

Are we still on ?

alwaysoptimistic profile image
alwaysoptimistic in reply toLuckysugar

Why?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply toalwaysoptimistic

It sometimes runs very slowly and won't send. You don't want that.

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply toalwaysoptimistic

There are certain issues better communicated with admin. Say some complaint like spam and to avoid direct conflict.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tosuramo

Thank you for saying that.

Activity2004 profile image

Activity2004Administrator

Early April I will be going on a mini vacation to Cleveland, Ohio for a few days. I will have someone help fill in along with having cure taking care of the group. I wanted to give you guys a head's up. One of my Admin. friends will be subbing at that time when I let them know.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply togphilip

It's okay! Do you have any issues that you want to bring up?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

Would you like to add something, anup?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

Okay. How do we want to do that?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

We can't force anything unless it's life or death situations.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

Well, we need to suggest that idea to HU. They are the only one that can change the way the user has access.

I'm sorry I missed it I was on grandson baby sitting duty.

It's okay. You can post comments if there's something you'd like to bring up.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply toThyroidThora

We plan to have another meeting scheduled sometime next month. Not sure of the date yet, but the time will be the same.

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply toActivity2004

Sorry Activity2004 I missed meeting as was my some other tour program ('Flirting with Rocks') was already scheduled...

And I came very late in the night and was tried...

Very sorry...

About new participation...I would like to add that as open forum we can not force any one to share his/her details..

I landed up in forum thru google...as soon as we post some information it appears on google search engine.... and person start browsing contents...once he/she get interested...or likes to ask/answer questions he/she needs to register.. if we restrict he/she for full access then I think we will be restricting flow of many new members...

And therefore...restricting access to full contents without introduction is also not good option...

I agree to thoughts of suramo that many members who are restricted were keeping forum live and were also contributing to forum...

However they were restricted for unwanted fights and insults ...they were not helpful for keeping the forum atmosphere conducive..

Those who are restricted were given prior warning for the behavior...

There is difference between restricted and banned....those who are restricted can still able to post on other forums and can contribute...

Those who are banned by HU...can not come back as the same id is already deleted..

One sided removal of restriction on already restricted members may not be possible....and not good idea...

@activity2004 may take final decision on the same...

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply tocure

You're right, cure . There's a difference between the two types of restrictions and bannings.

We will not force people to post information about their health issues if they don't want to do it.

ThyroidThora profile image
ThyroidThora in reply toActivity2004

Ok! I'll see what I can do.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply toThyroidThora

Okay. What do you want to do, ThyroidThora ?

ThyroidThora profile image
ThyroidThora in reply toActivity2004

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean? If I get a chance I will try and log into the meetings but if not I'll read the posts and reply as and when.
