  • General query about spam?

    In recent times Games has been spam free because our managers introduced a complex signing in procedure to thwart automated posting programmes. But now an automated posting programme has started putting messages with links to a film web site in the Chat window. Because there is no username attached the "ignore" button cannot be used. I have reported it to Yahoo, but only get an automated response. My messages cannot have been read by a human as the replies suggest that I use the ignore button which - as I explain above - cannot be done. Does anyone have any practical suggestions as to how I can eliminate this plague? I tried to remove these messages from my screen by hitting the return button on my keyboard. For my pains I was suspended for 23 hours. As the managers are conniving at this and will not let us take active steps to defend ourselves does anyone have any practical suggestions as to how I can eliminate this plague? In former times this site was known as a place to find interactive pornographic web sites despite the fact that many minors use it. Heaven forbid that we return to those days.

  • I am trying to trace a story - any suggestions please?

    There is a story told [fiction I assume] of a king who set a challenge to his people to produce a picture which represented peace. There were many entries of beautiful calming images. However the one that the king chose was of a fierce storm. People could not understand why he had chosen this image as the winner.

    In the picture, if people looked closely it is possible to see a bird nesting in a nest, in peace - despite the storm surrounding it.

    I have no clue if there is an actual picture to accompany this story [i.e. a peaceful bird in a nest surrounded by a storm] but if there is such a picture please advise
