Tired of Spammers

I am getting quite frustrated with this site.  It seems that once again we are getting spammers and new members who claim to have all the answers when it comes to anal cancer who do not indicate that they have actually had or do have anal cancer.  For anyone new coming into this group, please know that there are very many knowledgeable people here who have been through diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment for anal cancer and we know almost as much about it and perhaps even more than some healthcare professionals.  We have done our research.  We know the symptoms, causes, and treatment for anal cancer.  To suggest that sitting too much has led to our disease is ridiculous, for example.  Just when you think you've heard it all.........................  This site is about getting support or information or giving support or information that is helpful and correct, to the best of one's knowledge.  Let's keep it that way, please.
