I pretty much read exclusively global.

I filter anything that's obviously spam.

If enough people filter it, it gets killed for everyone.

SORTED

One of the things I have noticed is that every now an again, spam users inactivate their accounts. So every now and again I'll go to my filter list and clear some of them out.

The machine inactivates their accounts once they've been filtered enough.

Enough filters auto-filter the user?

Right? You think he'd talk about that more. It pretty much makes surfing Global your civic duty.

I'd never understood this before. Always used Feed and Chatter, and couldn't imagine what the others were for.

I shall change my behaviour forthwith. (Seriously.)

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. mk you should really roll out some propaganda on this targeted at impressionable teens looking for a purpose, maybe call it "being a part of something bigger."
