Spinn3r

Spinn3r seems to ultimately suffer from its own success. The tools to prevent spam will work best when no one tries to game the system, but once spinn3r starts to gain momentum the spammers will pick up their game and break down the usefulness of your algorithms.

Good luck fighting spam, but as long as there are significant monetary rewards for spamming nothing is going to change.

Erasmus,

So we should just give up? Spam is inevitable so there’s no sense fighting it because they’ll always win.

This sounds a bit defeatist doesn’t it?

The spam war is a space race. A war of attrition. I don’t think we’ve EVER claimed that we’d SOLVE spam just that at any point in time we try to keep it minimized and within reasonable values.

I think that we will never stop the spam, because when we will stop it in any way - the spammers will find another method to spam. But we have to try and don’t give up. The spinn3r is one step forward to stop it, greets for makers of this tool.
