99.999999% of those suspended members are spambots that were posting pornography or advertisements and otherwise diluting the stream of content on EVOKE.

Spambots are quite common on Ning. 168 out of 16K is actually not too bad.

Yeah, we were actually pretty lucky :) They didn't start coming out in full force until around about week 3. Unfortunately, that's when (and probably why) a lot of the auto-suspensions started happening, too :(

Considering that I sometimes get several hundred spam comments on a couple of not terribly popular blogs a day I think it's VERY good, actually.
Comment by Alberto Cottica on April 6, 2010 at 10:24pm
Chelsea, actually I have never come across any spambots. Maybe I've just been lucky, or your surveillance very good.

Heh, the one good thing about the gamerunners being spread across the world is that there's usually someone at least peripherally watching the stream. :)

Ethan, Alberto said that our surveillance might be very good, as he'd never seen spambots on the network, and I was confirming that yes, we usually have people on the lookout for spambots so that we can get rid of them right away.

@Chelsea : Can you make a screenshot of the "suspended" page too, please? It would be nice to see further infos, to know which names and mails spambots used.
Once you commented on my peofile: "Yeah, sorry, we can be sort of opaque from time to time while we scramble" Anyway EVOKE can be transparent on this, don't you think?

By the way, Panamericana is 1/168, which is 0.6%, anyway more than the 0,000001% of non-bot you're saying. Either something's wrong with your calculations, either with ours.

Sorry for asking that, but what's the matter with being crystal clear? Can't we just be treated as adults?

I agree with MoE...we need that screen shot, to know whats really going on here.
