Over the years since WA has been formed they have always given many people from around the world the opportunity to join as a free starter member.

One to see if this is for them and two it gives them a great start to their online career should they wish to do so without costing anything to try.

So Kudos to WA for that besides what starter members get for nothing could easily cost hundreds if not more with what they get.

This is a great idea but it also comes with some pitfalls as we have seen.

Spammers

Yes the low life's who have nothing else to do than to try to rip someone off.

It got to a point that WA created a banned country list where people from these countries could not become a starter member but had to become a premium member instead so any free options got thrown out the windows for them.

For a list you can refer to Jerry's post

here https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/jerryhuang/blog/countries-ba...

To those who are geniune I feel sorry for them but due to these lowlife's have created more issues than ever before.

Now for a while many have seen some spammers come in and thanks to the attentive members they have been reported for various reasons and gradually been taken off WA.

It could be spamming, their use of language, their abusive words towards other members which will not be tolerated and once reported they are dealth with harshly depending on what went on.

Regardless of their reasons and motives plain and simple it is not on nor allowed hence the spamm is a no no which is below.

For those who have not read this I urge you to do so not just to know but in case you are doing parts that are not allowed and you can correct it either on your profile or any post you have done or thinking of doing hopefully before someone reports it to avoid getting blocked or banned yourself.

Innocent or not it is not allow period

However there is one country I would like to add to this list of banned countries and that is Indonesia.

Why

This is where all these poker, gambling sites come from and always written in Indonesian not because of a language barrier but because of the hope someone will click a link first without reading what is said after it has been translated.

These losers constantly come here as started members and after they join wait a bit sometime on the same day and always post their poker, gambling and other sites to the community.

Sure we can give them a Spam is a No No link but do you think they care or even want to read it?

Hell No

They don't care what you say and once they get removed eventually they come back once more again with the same BS promoting their sites on gambling, poker and anything else.

This has to stop from the start and nipped in the bud straight away.

This is why this country should be added to the list.

For those who are really geniune I feel sorry for them as I said but you will benefit more as a paid member anyway.

So I would love to see Kyle and Carson add this country to the banned list which will at least slow down the starter status allowing them to promote what is not allowed.

We will always have morons doing their negative posts but at least this will put a halt if they join as permium and continue to spam like they are now then they will lose money and still be taken off.

I would love your points and views on this with the focus on these gambling and poker sites they are promoting. They are a waste of time being here and a nuisance.

Thank you for your time and comments if you wish to make.

I understand your position Andre. You make a good point. The question I have that needs to be addressed is how often this actually happens, that would determine if this is a necessary step. Wonder though if there is another way that would allow new members a smaller fee or some way to help those who are in Indonesia to still do business.
I am sure Kyle & Carson will be able to make an appropriate judgment call, I trust them to do right for all.

Banning specific countries is the most practical action to take, and I'm in full agreement with it.

Vetting individuals is impossible, and clogging up the WA platform with spam simply degrades the experience here for all of us (and discourages Starter Members from upgrading to Premium).

Even with several countries banned, we still have an ongoing issue with spam here; but imagine how the platform would look if it became a free-for-all? Much value would be lost, and it would likely spell the end of WA as a platform of excellence and opportunity.

I am not a fan of the name calling in this article but I can understand your point of view, and now am a little more aware of things like this, which I did know about before hand.

I agree that spammers should be banned, but it’s not sensible to ban the whole country.

I know some decent people from Indonesia. It’s impossible to judge the whole country of few individuals’ behavior.

Nice one Andre thanks for sharing

I did not have any idea about Losvegus ambassador. How can you be a an emesator?

Yes we have also seen an increase in SPAM in recent months.
Get's our vote too

I support you on the removal of spammers from the community. They discourage new members and lower the quality of the platform.

You got my vote also.

Thanks for informing us. It is a shame that the majority of people get punished (banned) for the actions of a few.

Barry

Gets my vote.
