To Karen

Hi Cher,Thanks for your post. It was very supportive and I appreciate it so much.Jeff and I are going to explore some options but we sincerely do not want to damage the board and we certainly do not want to slow it down by moderating it. I understand why Frank had to do that. He had terrible posts on his guestbook and I am at a loss to understand why.I guess one of the best options is to create a board for short hair/shaved heads and if someone posts something inappropriate or rude delete their post as soon as we can.If you can trace the IP address you do have some options and luckily the "fake Karen" left an IP address audit trail. So Jeff and I are working on dealing with that.You are right about people wanting to stir things up. I think the best approach is to just ignore them and I hate to do it...but delete their obnoxious posts.In all the time that we have had Hair Talk, Jeff and I have rarely ever deleted a post. Most of the time the weird ones are ignored anyway. So I guess we will take that approach.Jeff and I will look into creating a talk forum for short hair/buzz heads etc. You are right Cher, those are legitimate hair styles too.Thanks again for your support.Keep those great posts flowing. Hair Boutique is successful because of loyal visitors like you.The Real Karen :-)> Sorry someone decided to try to fake an email> from you..it was a very childish thing to do.> I hope you and Jeff can come to a decision about> what to do about the trouble makers.
