Spam Abuse

[nmajin]

This is an overall issue with this software where I identified mass spam text messages registering domains and self-hosting this software. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this?

Below are some of the sites I've captured hosting this software that were used to trick recipients into clicking on fraudulent URLs:

• http://addresswisdom.com
• http://slowweaken.com
• http://advancedparallel.com
• http://cranegossip.com
• http://notchshaft.com

Hi @nmajin,

I wouldn't have thought there would be something the team at Polr would be able to do to prevent someone abusing the system that they have self-hosted. I know it is tricky, however, the saying goes, only open sites you trust.
