Here's an article I wrote for Apsense and many no doubt have seen it already... but I would like som

The Spam nazi's are out in full force... WATCH out :: Beware :: You are being rated!! 07-26-07 www.apsense.com/article/105158.html I took a few days off to rest my eyes from the strain of the monitor only to return to be confronted by many changes. It seems it isn't enough to delete spammers' posts from your group. Now, if you have enough honor points, (10 honor poins is the magic number!) you can report spammers. What if you have ZERO honor points and have a spammer sending you messages and posting to your group and being a total annoyance...how do you report this? Funny, I'm not bothered by spammers. They've not spammed my groups or over messaged me! Who is getting all this spam? I get messages from contacts/friends or unknown members who have offers that are legitimate to send. I read them I book mark some of them... I reply to most with a counter offer! I call it Dueling Marketers! after the blue grass tune dueling banjos... but... i try my best to take the edge off and introduce the civil side of network marketing. Hi & How are you works ... and then there's thanks for your information... have you seen this? How's the family? Is that really spain where that pic was taken? that sort of chat whenever it occurs to you... so... I copied the following from the FAQ from Apsense 26) Do I have to own a business to become an Apsense user? No, you do not have to own a business to be an Apsense user. In fact we have plans to expand to many other industries other then the business industry in the near future. 27) How is my spam rating calculated? Every time a spam complaint is reported against you by a user regarding the content of your subject, comment or message your spam rating will decrease. Once your spam rating is below 60% you will no longer be able to post any subjects, comments or messages until you recover your spam rating to above 60%. Here's how your spam rating is calculated: spam complaint per subject 10% decrease Spam complaint per comment 10% decrease spam complaint per message sent 20% decrease 28) How do I rebuild my spam rating? Each week our system will add 10% to your total spam rating score, so you can rebuild your spam rating. 29) Who can report spam? To keep advice, discussions, and helpful information at it's highest quality all group owners and administrators recieving spam on their group subjects, and users who recieve spam on their messages with more then 10 honor points can report spam. Please note all messages older then 14 days can not be reported as spam. _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ Then there's also this one... if you have the time! Date: 2007-07-26 22:39:29 www.apsense.com/article/105157.html Hey just because I don't spam (for the most part by certain definitions) doesn't mean... I can't say ... they have the right to send their promo ads to your message boxes! and to post their ads in certain forums... HI GUYS !! Do you watch the reruns of Seinfeld... the episodes with the Soup nazi? I think their may be spam nazi's and other ELITIST types who think that if only you have at least 10 honor points are you honorable enough to make a spam complaint. Over at DirectMatches.. there's a very nice young man with family and he messages me every day with his version of not only how to live life but also a biz op... I can block him! WOW !! What an alternative !! Can we do that here already? YES Now Class.... What other means are there to deal with spammers than to have a report card ??? and then be penalized if you drop down to 60% (failing)... Class? Deal with it like a professional marketer... or... delete their posts from your Group... that's simple enough! Welcome and Thanks for Stopping By! I have to thank Apsense for creating such an awesome business and social network that included this ABC or the Apsense Business Center !! It really is as simple as A, B, C !! I'm Beth of BethsVentures. Now that no doubt sounds like Hype! The joke being...it is and was meant to be! ... and the humor is that I'm not at all a sales type person. What happened was the discovery of what works and what doesn't. Not everyone is the best fit for just any program! Funny how that works...(smile) Wishing you happiness in life and success in your online marketing, Sincerely, Beth Schmillen ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ thanks for your feedback!
