Spam spam spaaaaaam

Hi TEFLers!

I've deleted queen01's spam account and another 2 spam accounts this morning, and just wanted to keep you in the loop as I know these annoying spammers are a real nuisance on here.

The trouble is that the spammers you see on here don't seem to be robots, which is annoying as they'd be a lot easier to keep off the site if it was all being done by robots and not people!

At the moment, the best I can do is ban them and delete them AFTER they might have potentially sent a spam message, however I'm working on this with the IT team to see what else we can do to solve this -there must be a way!

I'm aware that a certain spammer uses the same process for each new account, but they'll have to get up earlier in the morning to trick me - I know you're a spammer! Banned and deleted is all you're getting.

We get a report as soon as someone sends spam so we can easily go and find them and delete them, but I do appreciate any messages from you telling me you've been spammed, they're all helpful in moving faster.

Be reassured if you have received a message that you can't read, it's because it is spam and nothing else, and we've already banned the user which means you can't read the message. If you had a genuine message on here, you'd be able to view it.

Enjoy Chalkboard everyone, let us worry about battling the spammers and you can carry on enjoying the site in peace.
