  6. @btucker Excellent. I'll add to my tool collection.
  7. ...but then they went and introduced their "100 emerging nonprofit leaders..." spam piece. Foul. Each account that used that ad is listed.
  8. The next spammer slate, I call the "UK Mortgage Protection" Collection. UK Mort. has more than 20 accounts, which I was willing to ignore...
  9. @tanni6dc4: Deceptive links. Mostly to dieting related sites. Uses headlines such as: Child Watch® Col.. http://tinyurl.com/594tq7
  10. Twitter's Blacklist is most popular conversation via Quotably. See: http://quotably.com/popular
  11. View our friends. It's limited to people working on the spam or the tools we use to ID spam. Our list is manually generated. So tools count.
  12. Here's link to report spam to Twitter: http://twitter.com/help/ Switch pulldown menu to say 'Spam Request' then complete request.
  13. Would be 'major spammers' might be more easily persuaded to earn income elsewhere, if they don't know how to avoid a spam block. My thoughts
  14. Maybe Twitter can mix policies. Publicly vilify major spammers. They'll be back anyway; and quiet freezing of would be major spammers.
  15. I could be wrong, and I'm often wrong. But the new policy will make a stronger cockroach. I see a traceable % of new accounts as backup spam
  16. I see the new policy as appeasing very vocal demands to have Twitter do something public against spammers. Public policy vs effectiveness.
  17. For example, if your account has been deleted; what stops you from creating a new one. Nothing. Notification actually benefits spammers.
  18. Apparently Twitter was taking action, by freezing w/o notice. Which is a method, I kind of like. Notifying spammers provides opportunity.
  19. TechCrunch has the story on Twitter blacklisting, read here: http://tinyurl.com/58qupz
  20. @humsurfer: Some deceptive links. Mostly just a marketing account. http://tinyurl.com/5p3g7o
