For the past few weeks TheBlackList has be under the relentless attack by Spammers - people joining TheBlackList for the sole purpose or phishing and soliciting.
To date, I a have intercepted 40 spammers.
Being vigilant and protecting the integrity of our space, it has become necessary to take the following actions that will affect the participation of all members:
- Blog posts will be validate before they are published
- Pictures will be validated before they are published
- Between 12 am and 10 am, all request for membership will be validated
- I will refuse membership to anyone who I believe is not forthright and open
- The following graphic is now the default picture identifying spammers and devious individuals
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF OUR SPACE? - Avoid contact with anyone who is identified by the "spammer" graphic
- Do not respond to anyone (other than Kwasi or TheBlackList) who is not on your friend list
- Report all unsolicited requests at once
Thanks for your participation and your cooperation.
Please be unreserved in sharing TheBlackList with your friends and your social network
Thank for being out there.
