We have noticed a lot of reports from you about unsolicited mails enlarging your inbox more than anything else. One of the first things you can do to prevent spam from reaching your inbox is by adjusting your Notification settings according to your preference/s. We have changed the default notification settings to ‘Friends Only’ but it is advised to make sure you don’t have anyone in your friend’s list whom you don’t trust.

Certain things you do on Instablogs are always displayed to everyone else. Your comments, newslinks you submit, members you track, members tracking you, your user icon, and your username are always public so that fellow users come to know that they are not talking to robots but real people. This helps in building the trust among users and of course, (the real motto), bringing up the unheard voices.

Thanks for this article Pankaj. Just for your stats, although I have not been here long, I haven’t had any spam yet, but one thing I do get is unknown women writing date-site messages. These people do not have articles on their pages. (Perhaps that what you meant by SPAM)?
Here’s a recent example; and if you want her name because she seems suitable for you, all you have to do is ask!!LOL LOL. (I left her name out by respect for her identity, but I will of course send it to you if (I have no idea) you are trying to stamp this phenomena out....)

Regards,

Hah!! Hi Oscar! She wouldn’t be much better off in France.... The food they eat here would put kilos on her in no time!!

I get 2/3 of those things a week, like everyone else, I suppose. Absolutely no condecension intended, but I feel a little sorry for them......

I guess I’m not as HOT as I thought..:)
I don’t feel sorry for them I work four jobs to make money. I don’t see how it is right for people like this, instead of being productive, to just sit on the asses and try to make a buck by scamming others.
