    Hi all, please bear with us for now. I am working on a solution to this spamming. Meanwhile I have turned off new user registration.

    In the mean time, adjusting the settings might help (if I'm not wrong). Go to Settings > Privacy > Edit Your Contact Details > Start conversations with you > People you follow only

    We have deleted a whole bunch of spam accounts.

    Are you still seeing new messages from active accounts?

    I got a new one today but it was labelled as 'Guest'.
    So reported it.

    Reporting would also help in identifying them quicker right?

    Or should we simply ignore them ?

    I think guest are accounts that have already been banned. Not sure why messages are still able to be sent.
