I wasn't sure where to write this or to pose this question and my thoughts about..Members that promote themselves,by in my opinion are SPAMMING! This has bothered me a very long time. As some of the worst ones who do this,often get to a new members page before Welcome Team. Watch the member page & go running to plaster there same comment in self promotion on their page. I feel that this one in paticular can give"wrong impression" of the whole of ipeace to a new member & is insulting to members like me that have been here since the start. He also has continually added "Hello and Welcome to ipeace..with his info. On my page. I removed him as friend long time ago,blocked in messages ignored 5 friend req. after I ignored last 1 started plastering on my page the Hello & Welcome to ipeace.........i removed. He does same to other long time members that have conveyed to me also feel is insulting & spamming. I see on main pg. regularly his bombarding members ,with this constantly! Is this not spamming? What is your opinion & Team policy of this?? Thank You.

To me ,as yes I've read much of his writings,it is not the best way to greet new members,perhaps simply asking him to 1st wait for Welcome team ? before send his blogs/ writings out, after official Welcome?
I still see this as form of spamming. Though I understand you Maria and others thoughts on this.
I think some see as spamming & others do not. For A lot of members his writings do resonate with them. It is the way he blasts on profile pages that bothers me,not so much the content. Also in his continue to blast people with it,after have made clear,Do Not Want it!
Thank you Dear Maria for honest caring reply :))

I've glanced over the articles, and he's entitled to publish his points of view.
But in short, I've noticed that as soon as someone joins, the articles are plastered all over the new members page.

I think that when you send out emails or post blogs on people's pages, once in a while, asking them to come and read your blog is fine - once in a while - but when its a constant bombardment, it does not seem peaceful.

I agree with both of you - I think it is not a black and white situation.

Just my thoughts.

Yes Maria, this is what I mean..just in asking him stop with putting on main profile pages,especially new members,not even officially welcomed yet. No, not to ban or remove..not what I am asking,but simply ask or Tell him to stop doing this on profiles/new members,etc. I do not like those do same as I described on the "Come join my.."group invites either that do the same. Some policy of at least NOT doing 'till Welcomed? I don't know?
I have seen many others bothered by this,but as you say above Maria, "because their influence and overall benefit is much more and much worthy as a little contain of commercialism.."
Yes I do agree, understand that too. :)

Yes Maria,not in few days or so..but last week blasted A Lot new members,members,Me,and every member page I visited,was there his blogs/mass produced,including New member & new friend that still not sure about ipeace,it was a bit much for her and I explained how to delete from her page to her.
So, though has not been actively doing right now,does do about weekly or so,constantly.

I have banned Joseph Ante. He seems like a misguided zealot. He seems disruptive. We don't need to offer people like that a platform.

Thank You Paul!yes,same day I wrote about him in this, he started up again,also bombarding his articles threw emails,including 1 to me. I'm not in his friends list & had him blocked in emails,
I replied to him stating all this and told him not sure how he mailed
me ? I also " asked" him, respectfully to discontinue in his doing All I wrote in above discussion,both personally & as a Welcome Team Member.
I was respectful to him in my reply. I told him what he was doing was imho, disrespectful & spamming members. That not all agreed he was,but many did.
