Spams on code!

Question

I recently noticed that some user are adding spam links on there web code. A few days ago, I touched a link, that website opened and immediately my phone stoped working. I had to restart and scan for virus. Then I never found that code again to report.

Saw many people adding links to their profile, now I'm affraid to test them, again I can't report them without testing.

Big problem. Want sololern to take steps. Please provide some solution.

Answer 1

In a place where people post whatever content 24/7, there's always the chance that some dangerous link goes by unseen for a while.

If you feel that you can't trust a link (it's generally good to be careful), you can always tell one of the moderators or draw our attention by posting in the designated thread:

Oh! thanks. I didn't know there is such a thread.

Answer 3

Reporting to the mods is and endless procedure.....people will keep spamming you will keep reporting

my suggestion is : just resist your curiosity and don't waste your time clicking on them.

This question is for the mods.
And searched a lot for that code but couldn't find it.

Answer 5

Tasfin Rashid, without going into specifics, of course moderation has means to keep track of offenders.

Answer 6

Yeah, we see stuff like that occasionally, and we would like to take it down as quickly as possible, so we're happy whenever someone points us there.

If we were to *prevent* it, we'd have to control every post or code, before it appears. That's just impossible with millions of accounts.

Answer 7

Generally good advice online unless you can reasonably estimate or alleviate the risk.

Answer 8

Cleaning the kitchen is an endless procedure... dirt will keep coming you will keep cleaning.

The meaning of reporting spam is not to *prevent* spam (impossible) but to *remove* spam.

Surprisingly, I have recently been asked by one of my follwers to visit a link. She also wrote dirty to get attraction. I obviously reported the profile and became astonished that she only used that profile as an advertisement platform. I never expected (really) these persons on a coding platform like this. She (or may be a fack id) directly invited to porn sites (I guess).

I also noticed that. Sololearn is getting unsafe for such spams.
