[twitter-dev] Re: detecting hashtag spam
That is actually not spam. If our messages on Twitter are "spam" by your consideration, then you will want to block, remove and report too many of other genuine Twitter users. The messages were posted indirectly by Google, not personally, and Google does take care to not post too many messages, so if you are complaining, complain about the Google service, not about me personally. Our messages were correctly tagged, and the only person doing someone damage is you with your perverted views on what the word "spam" actually means.
[twitter-dev] Re: detecting hashtag spam
The issue with spamming hashtag #dottel has been complained to Twitter by several people on this account. I posted here because I am a member to get Twitter to view other forms of spam not just messages to accounts. To clear the record, JLouisBiz continues to accuses me of things that never happened and I cannot stop him from proliferated his opinions and twisting my words everywhere he goes. He should never be taken seriously. Mark

This post by Mr. Mark Kolb is biased, because he is simply hostile to myself personally. I am running teldomaintel Twitter account, and he was hostile since the day that we have opened our website for TEL domain directories: http://teldomaintel.com Mark Kolb was running some outrageous websites providing fraudulent TEL services to TEL domain users, and we have discovered the fraud, as he was taking their usernames and passwords over insecure connections. Further, when faced with accusations that he is taking passwords from people, which believed that he is running official website, he has publicly stated on the forum that "passwords are not personal information", see here: http://tinyurl.com/2wgd5u6 Since then, he has been sending me messages like "idiot" as he runs TEL domain services, and we run TEL domain services, and he thinks we are his competition, so he is constantly finding a way to stop our marketing. The hashtag #dottel is mentioned by our account THEN, when we think it is required. Further, we never send too many Twitter messages, and we promote DOT TEL as for TEL domains, and everything related to TEL domains, including third party news and our news. I have entered RSS feed into Google, and on that day there were several #dottel tags, but in general Google sends rare Tweets, so there is never too many per day, just few. And I consider that Google that well with the timing, so that it is not too much. If the complaint would come from Twitter company, or from other users, not related to TEL domains, I would really consider that serious, but complaint comes from Mark Kolb which is known to disrespect people's privacy, and which runs similar services like we run them, only that we give our software for free, and he offers web services to people on his telmasters.com domain.

To help the algorithms detect this type of hashtag spam, what he is doing is varying the content slightly, with different numbers of hashtags, and different goo.gl shortened links that loop back to twitter status messages and provide no content whatsoever. Appears to be an attempt to get lots of "different" links to his website via Google. -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/subscribe?hl=en

Hello Raffi. The hashtag is #dottel and the culprit account is @teldomaintel (JLouisBiz ThetaBiz). He's been at it for a long time, stopped after we complained, then started up again in a different manner. We reported him for spam several times. The timeline for dottel is totally polluted with his self-serving crap.
