Periodically, we get increased attempts from spammers trying to get registered on various web sites. Ning based sites seem to attact a great deal of attention from the spammers. Lately we have been getting 5-10 registration requests a day from spammers.
I manually review all users who register. Some of the new registration requests are very obviously spammers, and I deny them immediately so they never have a chance to deliver their spam.
Others are getting smarter and it is getting harder to tell if they are a real person looking to join our community.
Normally, I log on to CBN multiple times a day and watch for spam attempts. But, sometimes I am not near a computer and don't know if one has slipped through the cracks.
If you notice that a user is posting ads, or sending spam messages to members of a group, please send me a private message and let me know. I will get an email and will log on and try to ban them as soon as possible.
Thanks for your help, and your patience.
Dan
