Protecting ourselves from spam and spammers

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.

    Thank-you, Brother, for protecting this site. Facebook is full of good groups that have become dead due to spammers taking over. It has been quite awhile since I have been here. Family came to visit for Thanksgiving, a holiday I hate for the obvious reasons, and dealing with life on life's terms since my husband left this life last May. I am back. I need this space as a great-uncle's wife has done her damnedest to keep my from his life because I am a reminder of our race on my father's side. Prejudiced woman but loves her biracial husband's money. I refuse to disappear. My late-husband would not want me to allow others to push me away. Gee...I got off-topic!
