Good Work

90% with Gmail e-mail addresses I suspect

**Mark** · #5 (**permalink**) 18-07-2009, 09:09 PM

Nope. 99% on 'the database' already. It's easy.

I admire you, I started a forum on networkingnow.co.uk but just couldnt police it and juggle work, so hats off to you Mark, i have walked in your shoes!

I love the smell of fried spammer in the morning...

Top work Mark and whoever else you've got policing as your doing a cracking job.

Hear, hear!

There's nothing worse than visiting a forum and being pleased to see new postings, which you hope may be of interest, only to discover they're all just spam.

What a disappointment. And what a waste of an otherwise perfectly good forum.

It's hard work keeping these scamming scumbags down but IMO it's absolutely necessary. Well done from me too.

Cheers guys. Our robust anti-spam policy does cause slow growth I guess (we 'deny', on average, between 5 and 10 sign-ups a day) but I think the sheer quality of this network is well worth the effort.

Stick with it, we'll be massive one day!

Of course, you can help to speed this up.

It's also a sheer joy to see so many people here being professional and civil to one another.

(Incidentally, if you've signed-up and not been approved - and you think our decision was wrong - simply drop us an email. Please understand that we'd rather err on the side of caution than end up like most other forums; awash with spammers, spam bots and dross!).

A big

from me - it's why I pay more attention here than on other forums (fora? fori?)..

We're members of an elite squad! If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find us, maybe you can hire us

Well done Mark. Spammers do spoil the quality of any good networking forum and it is good to see that UK business labs is so active in keeping this a quality place.
