Spam and PP

Member for

There is a young chap in the UAE who helps plus a planner in Australia.

We remove 50+ spam posts each day plus 20 or so obvious new spammer accounts but many use real gmail accounts so are hard to spot. I’ve asked the techies to upgrade the signup captcha checks but am leaning towards rejecting / approving all new accounts to allow people to show where they work and prove they are practitioners and not paid spam companies.

Hi Rafael

I am the only moderator operating on this site now.

I could do with some help taking out the spam content.

Best regards

But what about avoiding porno-spam?

Besides I have noticed what I believe are some people hiding under a pseudonim making derogatory comments about other members, frequently from same pseudonim therefore I percieve no action is taken.

Just think perhaps they're interested in "Family Planning". As you know, "human resources" nowadays are perhaps abundant, but "Skills" are scarce. And maybe others don't have a chance or opportunity to use their skills or talents properly, while others just wanted to share their hidden skills. Yes, "Resource Leveling" is very important.

- pseudonyms is not ok for PP, I find its use allows unwanted people gaining access and make irrelevant posts that can be so annoying. 

There are many services to prevent their use and there you can read about why many sites find them undesirable.

Rafael, What's the problem with using pseudonyms? And besides, this is an unsecured site. Even secured sites can be spammed. Just ignore them. "REPUTATION" is earned. This is a Free Planet dude, anything is possible.
