Spam

Cosette

Hi everyone. You may have noticed that some spam has been getting through lately. We have measures in place to prevent spam robots from getting through our registration process. However, in this new era of spam, these are actual people who go through the trouble of not only registering, but even confirming their accounts, and then logging in to post spam. We're working on ways to block them in a way that won't affect real users like you and me. In the meantime, if you see spam, please feel free to report it. We will delete it and block the spammer asap. Thanks!

Good on you Cosette.  What is wrong with people.  Why would they bother?  Get a life, I say.

Goodness the SPAM emails are coming in thick and fast today

I know! I just deleted six of them. And that's the ones that got through. The rest of the online network team, the invisible pink house elves, blocked a whole bunch. I had a chat with our developers about it so we are moving on a solution and expect to roll out something really soon.

Some of us become nurses, teachers, community managers. Some of us become spammers. The life we could have had, SuzieQ, haha!

You're all over it, Brenda! Yes, that's a great resource.
