3 or 4 spam "Buy Phloboxidril Now In Your Area" posts per day were tolerable. 20 to 50 aren't. I know I could block the magazine, but I'm just one of the many who are subjected to it.

E2a: a day later I blocked science, only to find that askKbin also suffers from this spam

Real posts (from kbin.social magazines) are becoming quite rare. I find myself coming to this site now to do the following circuit:

  1. sort by new and report SPAM and block users
  2. scroll through headlines and read (the few) recent comments/posts to mags I'm interested in
  3. come to kbinMeta and see if anyone else is seeing what I'm seeing and feeling the same way
  4. see if the radio silence has yet been broken by the dev

It's a fascinating case study in the rise and fall of an internet community and digital communication platform. And it highlights one important fact about human community management and technology development: COMMUNICATION IS KEY.
