I guess I was wrong as yesterday afternoon Twitter start to delete the accounts of the spammers before I could block them. Hats off to Roy Harper.

Everyday I get about 3 or 4 requests from a phoney member who's profile leads to a porn dating site. The dating site itself is one of those fake ones filled with bs profiles that use porn stars and models pictures. Like anybody is going to believe that Jenna Jameson is living in Bumrash, Arkansa and is a 19 year old coed looking for a man. We all know who is really on the other end of those profiles answering your questions and making you feel good, filipino boys making .05 cents a day or guys like this handsome man pretending to be a college girl.

Thanks Twitter!
