...too many fake people, too much spam. I hope the italki team will soon do something about the loads of fake people who ask for email or msn contact. I don't know the purpose but I guess it is to send advertisements or even hack the computers. There have been several versions of the text I have been sent so I will not give an example here, but I'm sure most people know what I am talking about.Look... I have been reporting, blocking and deleting the messages of a lot of spammers already and it is seriously getting on my nerves. It IS the responsibility of the italki team to keep this community clean. If they don't do it, they will loose reputation and members. I personally prefer interpals by now and I am going to close my italki account soon if the spam will continue for too long.90% of the time I use italki, I spend on blocking, reporting somebody and deleting their messages. If you tell me there is nothing you can do about it, I wonder what you expect with that attitude. How about enhanced confirmation prior account activation? A limited amount of messages and friendship requests a member can send within the first few days? Go check some other communities such as www.interpals.net. It is not my job to fix your community problems and I am really disappointed that reporting is the only idea you guys can come up with.

You can send warnings and tell administration about these people. Soon they will be blocked. Problem can't be solved if we don't collaborate. As we see them we have to tell about this using special option of our site - warn.

There are a lot of spammers and fakers on here, however they give themselves away as the messages will read very mechanicaly and all say roughly the same thing. However asking for email and msn is very common on here I ask everyone I add who I believe to be a geniue learner, as the whole point is to talk to and communicate with people. Having conversation with your language exchange partners is vital and the best way to do this is through chat tools such as msn, skype and qq. The best way is to check peoples profiles see if they are actually using the site to ask questions etc. I dont think Italki can in anyway be held responsible for the spammers and fakes and I dont see anyway they can stop people doing this, if you suspect a spammer, report them to the site through the flag concern button and block the person as well!

Hi, everyone. It is Ms Help from italki team and I have been deleting spammers and their messages everyday on italki too. And if you have reported this spammer, then you don't need to delete all the messages sent cause italki will delete them all in our system later on. And thank you for all your reports Celestence. Thank you for your report about all of them. About interpals, I have registered on it and see how it works now. italki is a community and we really should thank you for everyone in this community for making it big and more developed. It is not just the team members who are managing the community. We have you all in this big family. Thank you for your support to italki. We are right working on finding a better way to stop spammers.
