Cracking down on SPAMmers
Anyone who uses the internet these days knows and understands the frustrations of SPAM. As an IT administrator, I can personally tell you that these guys get more creative each year and are continuously on the lookout for new ways to exploit your system.
Today, 72Photos went on the offensive and suspended over 2,500 accounts in violation of our SPAM policy. This house cleaning effort yielded some great benefits… improved seek times in the database; and no more annoying SPAMmer nonsense. Unfortunately, for some of you this resulted in downtime earlier this morning.
In our continuing efforts to crack down on SPAMmers, 72Photos will be temporarily disabling the use of hyperlinks in comments and profile bio’s until a solid solution can be implemented.
