Hi Cathy777

It is okay, Admin are aware and the man is not advertising directly as per FMAUK Guidelines.

Ignore if this does not interest you.

OK but I really object to being 'followed'. He can advertise without following users on here.

Hi Cathy777 ,

If you don't want anyone to follow you, go into your account settings, and scroll right down until you see the heading Privacy, and you can set that to prevent people following you. I had to do that, as I felt that some of my "followers" were a bit dodgy.

Hope that helps.

GP. 😊😊

I have had a few dodgy people approach me on here and realised too late they were after something. Either converting me to a life style or selling me something. I don't mind followers but I felt wrong with this one! My instincts are usually good. Thanks tho!

Hello Cathy777

I just wanted to let you know that you can always contact Admin if you are concerned about anything.

We have told Hidden that advertising will not be tolerated on the forum.

Wishing you much peace

Thank you. I do feel that it was a pitch of some sort. As someone said they say 'don't suffer unnecessarily! That is a bit insulting.

I've used a floatation tank a few times. I loved it. Once in Amsterdam, that was even more special if you know what I mean!

Thanks for the warning.

yeah I got a notification to say they were following me too. he/she immediately got my back up when I read 'stop suffering unnecessarily' as if we can be cured. fs if it were that easy none of us would be suffering, it's not a choice we've made!

Cathy777 in reply toelvis777

Exactly. By now most of us would be aware of any therapy that helps us!

Hi elvis777

If you are wary of anything that is happening on the forum, please would you notify us (Admin)?

We were actually aware of this person luckily, but unless we know what is happening we cannot keep an eye out.

Many thanks

I've had this supposed "follower" too. I plan to ignore it. Surely it's advertising by the back door?

Cathy777 in reply toMariLiz

Yes and kind of playing on our vulnerabilities. If he is right and we are all suffering unnecessarily then we may as well close this site down now as no further help..or treatment is required!

Thank you Ken. It didn't seem right that they could use the forum like this. If a member has found a treatment that genuinely helped them, well that's OK. We would all be pleased to hear about that. MariLiz 👍😊
