Originally posted by Claire I warn leaders of discussion boards when I see cult recruiters. Sometimes they tell me they cannot do anything until the recruiter makes their move. What do you think?

Exactly. I'm glad to see there are others who have encountered this problem as well on discussion boards. This is the reason I myself came to this site; very often moderators/site owners, etc. don't take the problem seriously enough until there is some proof, but I don't know what they're looking for exactly. The recruiter's tactics are very subtle.
I don't know if I should say this (Rick, I'll let you decide whether to delete) - but I posed as a confused, rebellious young person, angry with her parents and actually got a bite from one of these recruiters with respect to joining a commune. However, the moderator deleted the entire thread almost immediately, and I now have no evidence! This is on another forum whose name I don't want to give and I'm still working on it. I guess I'll have to make copies of my posts from now on. :(
