Lately, I have been feeling annoyed many times here, because of Spammers. They're deteriorating our site and may destroy it. It is time, we stood against them and drove them away from the Expert Inn. I think in our fight against the Spammers, we should begin by categorising or classifying the members of Expert Inn. I, based upon my experience, have divided all the members in 3 classes...

1. Genuine Guys!: Oh well, I don't need to write much about such people.. These people register here.. Read the rules and understand them. They participate in forums and guide new members, warn spammers and generally they do all they can to maintain the value of the site. This class involves very few members- maybe 5% to 10%! I would give a few names here, who have been genuine members of the Expert Inn... Rajaking, Mamta, Shawie, Sachin, Rohit, Joie, Angelica, Goyal, Devyani! I am sorry if I have missed any name. These are genuine people. Their posts are helpful, meaningful, informative and valuable.

2. Confused Ones: This class involves the new members, who have no experience of Forums or Blogging! In fact, some of them are quite new to internet itself. They get confused about everything! They learn only one thing and that is that they will get paid for writing here. So they start to write anything... and keep flooding and are well on the way to become 'Spammers'! Such members can be motivated to become the genuine ones.. They are doing what they do (i.e. Spamming!) because they don't know anything else. The knowledge of English plays a big role here. They read the rules and regulations, but fail to understand most of it and hence, become spammers, unknowingly... We can motivate such members by making them understand how it works and what should they do, to earn money, genuinely... This class also involves very few people!

3. Genuine Spammers: Oh yes, we can use the word 'Genuine' for spammers too, because they know and understand that they're Spamming! Almost 90% of the members come from this class. They register here! They know only one thing and that is to flood and spam, as much as they can.. In the beginning of their spamming career here, they are advised by the genuine guys, not to spam and they'll not be paid. Many of us tell them to read the rules! They read and understand too. And they think, they'll be able to overcome the moderation process with their cunning. They believe that they will fool everyone and will make money by flooding and spamming. They pretend that they don't understand what are they being advised for! They keep posting shortest possible replies and easy questions and meaningless contents etc... Then they're warned by us. Still they pay no attention and keep spamming!!!

Our fight is agaist the third category! The Genuine Spammers, who continue with their unholy mission even when they understand the rules and regulations... This kind of spamming gives rise to poor contents in the forums and blogs! That reduces the value of the site. And we really don't want Expert Inn to lose its value, do we? So let us begin our campaign against the SPAMMERS!!! I have suggested one way that I learned from Rajaking, in my previous blog.. There is other way too, don't respond to a spammer after he/she has been advised and warned. Because at that stage it becomes useless to warn them. They have understood the rules but they don't want to follow it. And what is the use of an advice, if it is simply neglected? Better let us help the Confused members. These people pay attention to advices and warnings and try to improve themselves. Let us help such people!!

"Let us keep Expert Inn free from Spammers!!!"

I am truly thankful to God that I have been introduced to this site. Expert Inn is a lovely site, where I can write, express myself and make money through that. Wodnerful!! Awsome!!! These were my thoughts on my first day here, when I went home and kept thanking God for letting me know about this site.

Then it became a routine for me and now there is hardly any day when I don't visit this site and add something meaningful here. It gives me pleasure to write different things, this site has provided me with the base that was needed to express myself. I got some friends here and it is wonderful to interact with them. And I am thankful to the admin for creating & starting this site. The idea is excellent in itself. But then, there is a problem here too...

"Oh, Problem!!??!! With Expert Inn???" Is that your question? If that is your question, then my answer is NO. There is no problem with the expert inn- none at all! There is problem with a few members, who either don't understand or pretend not to understand the rules of this site and they keep spamming... and flooding... They flood our site with meaningless stuff. I remember reading something in Hindi, in a forum post where a nice topic about this site was being discussed. And this new member, all of sudden, dropped his political question in Hindi. Now, this is an international site where only English is supposed to be used. Rajaking, warned him about that. And I posted another warning too. I wrote addressing to this member that it was not a good idea to break the on-going conversation and drop a political bomb shell. That member didn't even reply to our (Rajaking's and mine) posts.

Here is an idea to stop these spammers. I got it from Rajaking! There is a red button (which we generally see on 'prohibiting posters' that say 'no smoking' or things like that). I am sure all of us will find that button. Whenever you find a meaningless post, click on that red button in that post. Yes, that button is provided with every post. Just click on it! When you click on it, it is reported to the administration. The Admin then takes action against such members... It'll work very fine, trust me! Let us implement this system and make our site safe from spammers.... Good Luck my fellow Experts!!! Let us preserve the value of 'Expert Inn'!!

Hi there... I am about to leave for my office. I've only 10 minutes to write here... I just visited the forums and boy, it has become  a terrible mess again... It is a new member this time, thankfully only one fellow.. But hell, he is worse than 3-4 spammers... He's been posting anything... I've seen flooders writing things like 'hello..' or 'thank you' in one post... But this new fellow has one of his post this way... 'asfsaawruaflsanf;lasha;su'... Hello!!! This is an Inn of Experts and let us keep it that way. I think the Admin should ban such members. We don't need such fellows, do we??

Well... I am leaving for office now!! I hope it will be better when I log in again tomorrow... Have fun!!!! And my sincere thanks to the genuine members for holding the fort...

I am writing this post feeling irritated and disgusted... Oh what happened??? Take a look at the forums here, please... Guys write smallest possible posts, with no meaning at all- Yes that's right; entirely meaningless things! Many active members, who've joined here before me, tried explaining such guys not to do this... They're flooding, spamming the forums for no reason and the forums are looking like a discussion board, where no one knew nothing & everything was stupid. They've been requested, warned and even threatned, but to no avail. They wouldn't listen to anyone and post anything that would have as many meanings as the words in those statements. You've to break the sentence in an individual word and those words have meanings, not the entire sentence, which they construct... I logged in before 15 minutes...

Oh yes, not everything is going bad... Some valuable and active members like Rajaking and Rohit have been posting very meaningful and helpful things to the new ones here... And we must thank them for keeping this site and the forums alive! And yet, there're flooders and spammers and non-sensers (forgive me, if I am inventing some new words here) and they're getting on the nerves of active and decent members...

Can't we ban such people? I trust the administration here can definitely do that... :) What a happy thought! I request the Admin to ban such members with prior warning... Please do this Sir! These people are giving our site a very bad shape and extremely bad look too... Thank you!

This is a real good site... Expert Inn!!! My writing skills have improved a great deal since I've joined here, and have been posting things... I've been writing in blogs/forums and even wrote an article too... I really enjoy being on this site... I remember reading a post by a member here in which she said, 'this site promotes learning and earning, together.' How!!??!! Well, people post data here about different topics or let us say that experts from different fields post here about their areas of expertise. And people read it... Knowledge is shared! Many experts have come together here to share their knowledge and learn from other members too.. What a genuine and nice idea!!!

But what to do with who're expert in spamming and flooding the forums with useless, senseless and ridiculous comments? Worse, they're continuing with their unholy mission, even after they're warned by many members that they'll not be paid for such posts... Some of the forums have already worn the helpless and pitiful look, which saddens me. When I joined here, there were meaningful things to be talked about, discussed about... New members would ask questions related to the site and they were answered by the real expert ones. Where have those learned people gone? And all I get to see is useless stuff... I wrote many warnings to such members that they'll not be paid... And I got a suggestion from a genuine member that it was useless to respond to those posts..

Well, I've a suggestion for the administration here... Please either lock such posts or delete them; instead of locking real, genuine and meaningful posts... I hope I'll be heard... :) Have fun!

I joined this site, before 10 days I guess... For the first 3 days, I wasn't very active until I got the clear idea about how it worked... Once I got the clear picture of it, I started.. And wow! It has been an amazing experience to read here and then to reply... Moreover, the feeling that I am going to get paid for this is very soothing and relaxing too. I don't get much time to be online, but whenever I get a chance, I just log in here and start writing... It is improving my writing skills too.

I remember one member writing in one of the posts that this site helps learning and earning... And how true has that proved to be! It was bad that I didn't find this site earlier... but they say, it is never too late... So I am doing my best.. According to the Earnings plan, I'll not be able to receive any money on this 15th, because my earnings of January is only $10. Another aching thing!! LOL.... I will make most of the February and will make as much money as I can... :) This is a real amazing site and I am going to refer my friends to it... maybe, next week, I'll be able to add a few more members here...

My hearty Thanks to the Administration! Have fun!
