It appears Facebook doesn’t want bot reports after you hit a limit. In fact, I’ve been banned for a day for reporting them. This makes no sense. Facebook gives you a warning to slow down when you hit the 40s. But you can’t get any slower. The fact is Facebook has made the reporting […]

Can Facebook please explain why these obvious bot accounts, all of which have been reported, are allowed to remain on their website? (I have asked Facebook this directly already on Twitter and Facebook.) Some were reported in 2013. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007203668633&fref=pb_other https://www.facebook.com/sluchevskiya?fref=pb_other https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003332425523&fref=nf_fr https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001139762163 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007774961452&fref=tl_fr_box https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003723657320 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007526100670&fref=tl_fr_box https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007575222133&fref=tl_fr_box https://www.facebook.com/kyoko.fukada.902266?fref=tl_fr_box https://www.facebook.com/cindy.weaver.7311?fref=tl_fr_box https://www.facebook.com/patricia.lima.393950/ https://www.facebook.com/thomas.lawler.756?fref=tl_fr_box https://www.facebook.com/kolthoff.danuta?fref=tl_fr_box https://www.facebook.com/kaj.werner.50?fref=tl_fr_box https://www.facebook.com/qkquddy?fref=tl_fr_box https://www.facebook.com/iwssr?fref=tl_fr_box […]
Originally posted to the Vox Neighbourhood on Facebook, without links Key to the 2009 calendar. Yellow: days when Vox worked normally. Pink: days when the compose screen took minutes or hours to load. Red: days when Vox would not allow me to compose at all. I gave up on December 13, 2009, and consolidated all […]
Mea culpa: OK, I was wrong. Facebook got things back up in about 20 minutes for some users, who are Tweeting about it. However, as of 8.37 a.m. GMT, I am still seeing Tweeters whose Facebooks remain down. Looks like some people do work there after hours. What a surprise! However, I reckon […]

Now that all of our email, bar a handful of client accounts, are going through the paid version of Zoho Mail, I couldn’t be happier. When we shifted things over, my friend and web development expert, Nigel Dunn, suggested either Google or Zoho. He’s a big fan of Google, and I can see […]
The tipping-point has been reached: on some of my photos, fake Instagram account likers outnumber human beings. In terms of comments, spam outnumbers real ones. Of my last ten likers, nine were fake accounts. And we know that when some sites get to this point, they begin dying. Yet it’s frightfully easy to spot […]
As most people are, I’m pretty sick of comment spammers. Wordpress does a reasonable job of keeping them out (though Akismet has been missing a lot more of them lately, putting them into the comment queue). Today, one of our comment spammers must have slipped. Instead of using just one of the lines in his […]
The anti-spam legislation in New Zealand was extended to faxes on October 20—although, technically, junk faxes were disallowed under the Telecommunications Act, based on my reading, and always were. It hasn’t stopped one company from continuing to send junk faxes, and I’ve reported their three post-October 20 ones to the Department of Internal Affairs […]
A Fairfax Press headline today: ‘“Large-scale breach” of privacy rules by NZ Post’. The Privacy Commissioner has found New Zealand Post breached privacy rules in a promotion in July 2009, which I thought would have been a juicy story back then. The reporters write: The 2009 survey asked participants 57 multi-choice questions, ranging from […]
Two years ago, I blogged about The Paradise Club’s unavailability on DVD and the reasons behind it. As a show nearly forgotten after 20 years, perhaps it isn’t surprising to find there are no Facebook fan pages for it. There is the one that Facebook generates from Wikipedia, but that’s it, as far as […]
