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!
