    A lot of spam today - how do I get the accounts blocked? Last reply on June 29, 2008 10:25.

    Here are a list of spam accounts that have sent the same message to me 5 times today - all exactly the same and I pick it up because of my interest in mobile learning.

    How do I get these people kicked off - they are really ruining the experience - when they do this my screen fills up with the same message - thus it is very effective spam!

    The SPAM:

    Please stop the TwitterBot army--Twitter Spam Must Stop! Last reply on May 18, 2008 00:03.

    Please Stop The Twitter Bots! Every day I'm inundated with requests from people to befriend me, only to find out that they have over 3-4,000 people they are following already--obviously they are bots or spammers trying to get a following. The easy solution is to simply give me their details when you send the email to me--instead of just saying "Blah Blah wants to be your friend," give me that persons details right in the email such as how many people they follow, how many friends they have, their profile, etc. Please don't make me have to go all the way to the Twitter site just to find out this is a bot request.
