Re: Spam on TIG

I can imagine stopping spam is difficult. I think your many moderators should be a bit more "on the ball." I am not detecting any improvement in fighting spam here at TIG.

Obviously, the first step in posting spam is to register under a new TIG name. This registering process has to be made more difficult.

While you're at it, I would recommend you delete all usernames of people who haven't logged on for over one year.

Just a few suggestions from someone who likes TIG very much.

Please post any links to spam posts here that you'd like us to investigate. We launched our new spam prevention system on Friday, and I believe we have caught 99.99% of spam since then, a huge reduction!

Michael, thanks for your hard work!

Hate to say this, but the thread "On-line Money Makers" in the Current Events forum looks like it's full of scams and shady offers.

Hi everyone, i received the same email saying want to know you better am sending my pictures to you because age and whatever does not matter. when i saw it i knew it was spam i think i agree we should have a volunteer who check such profile and delete it from TIG we are here to make a difference not something else.

"nancy123" is posting offers to sell dissertations and MBA projects in the Education Forum. This is a criminal enterprise and should be banned from TIG.
