MYSPACE REP IN HERE NOW (Semi-Joke Biz Thread)
<rant>
I have a MySpace account with no friends, never requested any friends, has a unique email address just for it. I receive three to six invites and/or messages a day, usually pushing Fling or AFF though sometimes smaller problems. Don't care about that part - those guys have their own battles to fight.
So I flag messages as spam, but invites can't be flagged. You have to actually use the contact form and report abuses. I do this every 5th invite or so and I always include a link to the profile and a clip of the HTML that leads to the spammy link.
Today I got my first response:
So apparently, go ahead and spam away. Bad enough that they're worse than Craigslist about removing spam classifieds postings - this is ridiculous. Their service is stagnating, Facebook and others are kicking their ass in finding and retaining real users and they don't seem to give a flying fuck.
