It might look like we don't get targeted because a lot of effort is put into keeping it under control and removing it as quickly as possible.
Once a lot of spammers see that they have an easy target they will multiply and if spam is left for long periods of time on a regular basis, it will give that impression.
Members who spam are banned and sometimes they are banned while they are in the act of spamming.
It is kept under control 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no hours of the day or night that spammers can spam and expect their spam to remain for a long time. We have a way to deal with that.
Serial spammers try various tricks to try to spam us. I won't go into those tricks, but they don't work. After a while they just get tired of trying their tricks and give up.
It is very hard work keeping up with all of the spam. We get hit with a lot more of it here at 5 Star than most members are aware of. The good thing is that isn't allowed to become a problem.
