Dealing with spam is a Datepad priority
With popularity brings spammers for any internet startup company. Spammers have automated everything on big social networks like Myspace because the developers are too busy lining their pockets from advertising dollars. Unlike them, we at Datepad are all about bringing the community the best possible site. With that being said, we have had a few spammers try to abuse our website, and they have had their accounts permanently terminated.
The staff at Datepad have implemented many features that will thwart spammers. Due to the nature of the security fixes, we cannot tell you what they are, but they are working behind the scenes so you can avoid having a mailbox that is full of spam.
Another major component or getting rid of spammers on Datepad is through our community. We have a feature that allows you to report every spam message that you receive, which will be forwarded directly to one of our Datepad staff members who will asses the request and remove the spammer at the click of a button. We hate spam as much as you do, so we recommend that you report any unsolicited private message you receive from a spammer. In addition make sure that you never give out your personal details or your passwords to anyone that you do not trust.
Unlike most community sites, Datepad has a team of 3+ people checking the backend of the site on a daily basis to ensure spammers are terminated before they get out of control. This is one of the big things that our competitors are missing, and by reading a lot of their blogs and forum posts, they are slowly killing their own websites. The power is in the people, and that is why Datepad strives to make your experience in online dating the best it can be.
At the end of the day, we have a ton of security features in place to lock down the majority of spammers, but as a community we rely on you to report any suspicious activity that you may see for the benefit of everyone else. Happy Dating!
