Something is not right with that, as the profile links to SEO in scotland, and what is so important.

[James B]

yeah, a quick google search is someone spamming ning sites. Not the best marketing though.

Hi
Everyone on the site should have a connection with the estate. If they appear to be spamming the site or trying to sell something, they are normally deleted. If you see this happening, please let me know and I will delete their account.

I worry about the people joining GLE site who don't live here or work in connection with the estate. No idea who they are or trying to push something. We will end up outnumbered ;-)

I got that message as well, figured it was odd and deleted it.

How amazing.  I got exactly the same message James.  I did not email, but left a message saying I did not know this person!  Heard nothing since.  Sounded dodgy to me too!! 

How do these people get on here?

[Maria Elizabeth Prior]

Got another dodgy request.  From someone called 'princess'!

[James B]

yup

[Cathryn]

Same here!

[Maria Elizabeth Prior]

What a coincidence!!   And there was me thinking I was special!!!  ha!ha!

[Paul Lincoln]

I have now made changes to the site to make it more difficult to join I have also added a quiz question which is easy but cannot be answered if you have no genuine interest in the estate.

Hope this helps

Paul
