New member spam message:

Almost once every two weeks a spammer (or smambot) becomes a new member (named “baby”, “love”, or “rose”); see banned users below:http://www.eoht.info/accountSearch/banned then bulk emails everyone a variation of the following message: “Hello, My name is loveth, i saw your profile today at(www.eoht.info) and became intrested in you,i will also like to know you more,and if you can send an email to my email address,i will give you my pictures here is my email address (lovethbaby01@yahoo.com) I believe we can move from here! Awaiting for your mail to my email address above Loveth.(Remeber the distance or age or colour does not matter but love matters alot in life). PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO EMAIL ME HERE ON (lovethbaby01@yahoo.com) FOR MORE EXPLAINATION.” Then everyone active on the site sends me a complaint message saying that someone is spamming them, etc.. I’m sure I’m not the only site having this problem. To eliminate this, I propose we implement a 24-hour delay buffer window before a new user can send messages, or something to this effect. Comments and suggestions welcome. Do you find this valuable? |

Yes, good idea. This could turn out really userful. There are often spam messages on our site, so this could actually stop them from coming. Awesome idea!
