Nail Twitter spam!

Twitter has been coming up with various Twitter spam blocking functions for their network and recently they announced that there is now another service available for users who are tired of spam.

Click the “Report as spam” button under the Actions section of a profile’s sidebar and our Trust and Safety team will check it out to see what needs to be done. No automated action will be taken as a result of reporting a user as spam (in other words, it can’t be used to incite an angry mob against an account you don’t like.) And once you report a profile it will automatically be blocked from following or replying to you.

It’s great to see these functions coming into place, let’s fight the spam and get rid of it!
