What is the most annoying part of Mahalo spam?

Clearly, Mahalo has the ability to instantly remove spam posts. Whenever I got an email with certain text, especially from websites such as about something about pop buy now dot com, I instantly went to Mahalo to mark it as spam, only to find that it's already been deleted.

Three questions:

Why, then, doesn't Mahalo prevent us from getting the emails from spam posts?

How long, if at all, will it be until Mahalo stops these emails from arriving at our inboxes?

In your opinion, what is the most annoying part of Mahalo spam?
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Hi @offthedome

"Mahalo has the ability to instantly remove spam posts" - I try :)

When I am online I have a Mahalo window open and I work as fast as I possibly can to get to the spam as it comes in so this is why you get the emails but upon opening the thread find the spam posting gone. Right now the best way to avoid the emails is to alter your email notifications within your profile.

I know this makes it a little more "walkaboutish" to see if anyone has answered your questions but until the Mahalo office fixes that we have to just check our profile alerts to see if someone has answered any of our questions.

Are you saying that Mahalo's spam filter is, literally, you and a mouse?

Yes, myself and a mouse, we are the front lines. :)

We're sorry about the recent influx of spam. We've tried to do some quick fixes last week that unfortunately weren't as effective as we've hoped. Consequently, we will spend a good portion of this week and some of next week coming up with a solution we feel will work. We're sorry if it has caused any problems, but promise that it's a very high priority for us and that it will be addressed shortly.
