in box spam started
I've noticed lately I'm beginning to get spam in my inBox which also begs the question whether our profiles are being scraped for the supplied data. I suggest you offer both a network spam filtering system (either internally or in conjunction with a 3rd party system (i.e. Cloudmark's SpamNet) as well as a page or data encrypion so our displayed info cannot be scraped and used for spamming.
We are now penalizing the RepScore of the people who send Inbox messages that are then marked as Spam by the recipient. We also disable sending of messages for these users if a threshold of spam is sent within the last 30 days. Further measures to penalize users who send Invite Spam are also planned.
