Thanks for the feedback Karen. While I have a tendency to go on a rant against spammers, I have also tried in vain to ignore them. I find that I do okay for a period of time but since their methods are constantly morphing I find myself getting pulled back in. Appreciate you taking the time to comment.

I personally enjoy the rants when you have had to deal with a few of these…I don’t have the volume that you do, so I don’t have the problem so much. I also agree with admin that the FB quizzes get on my last nerve. Good post, Scott!

Absolutely agree on the free service point, however FB is also free and yet not nearly the magnet for Internet marketing mavens/gurus and affiliate links galore (or maybe it is I honest spend very little time on FB- it’s the games and quizzes that drive me away) I will say that of the spammers that I have sent a DM to @spam, approximately 80% of them end up suspended. Thanks for your comment, much appreciated.

Bravo! Hey, I’m happy with you as Hall Monitor.

I’ve had to do a ton of unfollowing lately, but what’s really bad is that I have had to block a number of people who have never followed me. They just like to comment on something I said about a business topic with an unrelated request to either show me their (non-Twitter, NSFW) profile, or invite me to check out a link to something that someone else wants to sell me.

But we should all be reminded that Twitter is a free service. Last I checked.
