Please, we need your help with something
My Living Romance is a project dedicated to proving that My Chemical Romance saves lives, not takes them away. Whether you agree with us or not is beyond the point of this post: we need your help.
This is what I posted on the street team's site (I'm the street team leader)

"November 25th
A new task has been posted, concerning the incident with the spammers. If you are a member of the MLR Forum or are on MLR Crew's MySpace, you've already heard me mention it before. But if you aren't, let me fill you in on the occurrences:
At a couple points in the past few months, spam accounts/posts have been made and used on the forum. In the beginning many of them were just Guest accounts, especially from a person/s claiming to be Hanna Bond - and the posts being irritating and ignorant pleas and complaints that we at MLR should kill ourselves because we "are not doing as the GODS have commanded!" and offering our blood. One such post featured the link to a grotesque picture of some of the most sickening pain I've ever seen - and that is saying something.
Any true MCR fan knows this is utterly ignorant, insulting, pathetic and immature. Any one that can waste enough precious time to write paragraph long posts saying things like that on countless topics on the message board is a truly sad specimen of the human race.
But after we had deleted those posts, the spammers started making accounts. This enabled them to post pictures instead of just links. If you weren't on the forum at the time, you can not imagine the scale at which this slander was done. Pages and pages on every sub-forum on the message board were filled with topics that, when you opened them up (which you had to do, to delete them), were pictures that quite literally scarred many of the forum member's subconscious for life. Such painful, pornographic displays of torturous affairs at the most dreadful level of human lowliness that I do not feel the need or the desire to go into detail, plus swastikas and other offensive displays.
The delicate youthful minds of the young members of the forum which saw these pictures should have never, ever been subjected to such offenses.
After we deleted the posts, topics and accounts - Joanna locked the forum for our protection for several weeks. She left one forum, which was guarded, unlocked so that the members could still access our beloved forum. After a long while of silence from the spammers, the forum was unlocked and every thing went back to normal.
But the spammers arrived soon enough. "Ms Bond is back" - a Guest account - began posting text spam saying things like "I see that you have not joined the Black Parade. Am I the only one that knows the true intentions of the GODS? MCR saved you all, have you repaid them??? NOT AT ALL. Follow your GODS and end your lives!!! IF you do not do so, there will be more visitors!!!"
Forgive me if I'm wrong but when a group of people (most of which aren't even old enough to drink yet) are threatened by an unknown person that if they do not go and kill themselves, the spammers will come back with more force, it displays a very obvious lack of moral and human tolerance, and a deficient amount of adherence to social kindness and good will. Hearing things along the lines of "MCR SUCK!" and "My Chemical Romance are emo!" and things of that nature are a common and expected occurence.
But this was uncalled for.
Now that you know the story, go to Tasks (see: below) to see my rebuttal to the spam attacks.

Task concerning the spammers:
"The first time the spammers came and vandalized the forum, Joanna said that if things got that worse again - she would go into legal issues with reference to slander. This time around, the spammers have come back and threatened that if we do not kill ourselves - "there will be more visitors."
Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but when someone goes unprovoked onto a website full of teenagers and completely vandalizes the message board with slanderous icons of history and horribly graphic, inappropriate displays of the human body in ways no human ever needs to see, and then threatens them with it again if the teens don't commit suicide - that's punishable by some standard. These are children that were exposed to this total lack of moral guidance. I know even I have nightmares to this day of the things they posted. It's the slandering of an organization's domain with graphic, pornographic, offensive material - exposing underage people to those materials.
Joanna and I discussed bringing in legal matters. I don't know how much luck we'll have, but it's damn well worth a shot. We have plenty of witnesses, and I saved two of the posts from "Ms Bond is back" as evidence. They're not the worst - but they're insulting enough. The rest of the forum can back us up on the rest.
The only drawback: We're Okay Now is very low budget, so even if we were able to turn to legal matters: we don't have the money for a lawyer.
Yet.
I'm begging you, as the leader of the street team and the best friend to many of the victims of these spamming incidents, we need your help. It insults the very dignity of the members of this project to sit back and watch this. When the people I love dearly and accept as my family are offended like this - I as a human can't not do something. So this is your task I set upon you:
It's basically like promoting, but a little different. Wherever you can - on message boards, emails, anything you can think of - post what happened at the MLR forum. Don't leave a detail out. Put the link to our PayPal account with it, making donations possible. We have the link on our site - but it's not enough. I need to talk to Joanna about moving it to a more significant location on the site, instead of hidden deep in the support page. But until then, we need to be straight forward. If you truly care about this project, please. It's not much you have to do. If you don't have money, that's perfectly okay. But find someone that does. Much of our support is nonprofit, so we don't have the money to hire a lawyer to help us with this. Whether the lawyer takes the case or tells us to go home, we won't have backed down without a fight.
It could be a lost cause, but we're fighting. We're trying. We're not letting them get away with things like this.
I refuse to let them.
Anywhere you can, I need you to post what I wrote. The update and the donation link, found here
[link] or on the Support page of the main site

I love you, and will always fight for you.

don't let them see your back,
and take my fucking hand
and never be afraid again...
We've only got one chance to put things at an end..."
