Spam problems - users are putting links to commercial sites in their profiles

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

It appears that some users (1593) are using their profile biography blocks for commercial ads and links to "get rich now" sites. Today I instituted the rule on the biography box that says "No html or no links to commercial sites or no spam. violators accounts will be deleted without warning"   I JUST DELETED OVER 100 ACCOUNTS. If you were one of the 100 you can register and do not put ads in your biography box. All other 1493 please edit your biography field and take out the HTML and links to commercial sites.

to all the users who's accounts i deleted. If you are a user of bible.org material and have posted comments please forgive me and re-register without links to private business or other commercial sites. /s/ David Austin Exec director.  

Update: 6/9/2010  I deleted over 1000 accounts that seemed like only ads and people attempting to increase their SEO status. I likely deleted some legitimate accounts as my review/delete interface tool was poor.. Sorry.. reregister without the commercial links../s/ David Austin
