Twitter is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family, but it can also be used to spread theobnoxious top stories today. Here are some tips to help you stop the spammy tweets:

  1. Make sure your Twitter account is updated regularly. This will help to prevent spammy tweets from being sent out.
  2. Use filters to help you identify spammy tweets. For example, if you are a fan of a certain celebrity or topic, use filters to identify spammy tweets about that topic.
  3. Report any spammy tweets immediately. If you see a tweet that you think is spam, please report it using the Twitter app’s reporting feature. This will help us to remove the tweet from our system and prevent other people from being scammed by this type of message.

If you aren’t familiar, here’s the obnoxious social network spamming feature from Paper.li, who have some sort of service that’s a combination of a personal Twitter newspaper and a spam-generating machine.

For the Love of FSM, Make It Stop!

According to their stop mentions page, all you have to do is tweet out a response to @NewsCrier like this:

You can just to to the page, click the Tweet button..

And then you’ll be able to quickly make it stop.

One has to assume this will actually make it stop, but who knows if somehow they will add a new feature in the future to spam you.

Dear Paper.li Owners

Please make your service less annoying. Constantly getting spammed is frustrating, and it’s not a solid way to build a useful service.
