Re: Spam, Spam and more spam
Think it through … it is a kind of Microsoft moment
Spamming WPMY/BP is only popular enough because there are significant numbers of unmodified installations going on.
Because there are a significant numbers of unmodified installations going on we … and our servers … all take a hit on this crap.
So … disincentivize the platform by making that custom modification obligatory … for all … during the installation process.
Spammers would face a pretty impossible or unrewarding task and move their attentions elsewhere.
Does that work logically and technically?
It is not good enough just to point out one can change it … the problem is not enough people are and hence we are all paying for the vulnerability of the platform.
So shut that vulnerability off. Simple, no?
