Blocked by yet anorther spammer.

If they do, then they are sadly mistaken. Who needs the acquaintance of those that only show they have no respect for the position of a moderator, but worse still they have no respect for web site's terms of service?
We are all better off not having contact with, and not doing business with, people with these attitudes. More is the pity that management refuses to do anything about removing them from the site.
Quantity of members with a contribution of spam posts and advertising of scams does not out way quality of content from fewer members. Far too many site owners think the road to success is through signing up as many people as possible.
This is not the right mind set if you are running social networking sites, forums and other sites where the members contribute to the content.. As the owner of this type of site you must control your membership and ensure you get quality contributions from your members. You must not allow the members to fill your site with spam posts, to advertise scams, and to abuse the terms of service.

 webmasterHi, I see you have a problem"anorther spammer". Look in the new update of apsense you have the the box for emails DON'T CHECK IT. If you have Google account set once again your rules and after all you can even block some ID. Your address email can bee taken with software from all the social media, and this is the problem...you can not fight with this new technology. How to protect? Change or rotate emails on social media have one special for business ,another friends and so long. Give to your spammers what they want RESPONSE (there is a software who returns the email directly with a specific text image and block the sender....) I used this software and you knew what ? The address of spammers is even not real! Or it is working for a few hours(just the time to spam) Want more ideas? just contact me or better add connection. Regards, Chris Arhot webmaster.

Hosting and Backup Service providerHi Chris, your info is good but giving it to me is like teaching your grandmother to suck eggs. The spamming I am referring to is that done by your contacts on APSense (or any other SN sites) using the site's messaging system. I have contacts so that I can assist them, i need it and to exchange useful information. Unless I specifically give a person permission to send an ad then they are not allowed to do it as it is by definition spam. If I want to send you an ad, for example, I would send you a message and say that "having looked at your profile and information. I have found something that I feel would help you. So can I send you the url." Depending on if it was my referral link or not, then I would add, "It will be a referral link." Alternatively, " is not a referral link." Note I would ask even if it was not a referral link. It could be I was the owner thus benefiting without a url and in that situation, I would also state that. By doing this you are given an option to allow me to send the link or not. It is NOT slammed in your face with or without a pathetic apology, such as "I apologize if this message disturbed you" My answer to that, is to report them and request they are terminated for breaking the TOS.

Hosting and Backup Service providerHi Chris, search for Bjantiques. I am on linkedin, facebook, myspace, twitter, Naymz, and Adlandpro, if you look at my profile here in APSense you will find some of my experiences and resources along with a link to my bio, but it does need updating. and the Experiences and resources were just partially completed to get my profile looking reasonable after the new update to the site.

@bjantiques, Nice article. Spamming is not good and it can hurt your site as well. I never do spamming and I think nobody have to do spamming for promoting their site because with that sometimes Google banned your site otherwise it gives penalty to your site.
