.Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have struck almost 14,000 user identities from our membership list. If yours was accidentally deleted, we deeply apologize. Please feel free to restart a new profile. Those we struck, that were in question, had no postings listed. This has been a committed 3 week effort to remove each questionable address individually through multiple actions. Those known deceased members were left out of respect.
Over the course of the two decades our membership list had grown through time. We narrowed it down to mostly USA based domains and those from countries URL’s which we believe to be legitimate in format. If Brandon Cork was a legitimate address at surfer.com, then we may have made a mistake.
All of the users we struck had no postings listed, they were either similar domains to known spam users, or names with questionable names and users. We were cautious on the two trying to keep existing users functioning.
That list included robots and illicit users, from all sorts of domains, that at times were established for scanning user lists, to acquire email addresses. If your domain was everydaydating, sharlesfun, econgate, hexogonaldraang, yandex, shavershairclub, namnerbca, bank.zaols.com, toobeo, smilietoys, infidel@ or many of over 50 others… we probably struck your membership profile.
We were cautious on regional users in the upper midwest and we watched names that may have been valid. If your name was Anatoya, Katarina, Nikolas Yelevich or similar, then possibly we deleted your login information. And I am sure we missed some that we should have deleted.
Now that we have cleaned it up, we will more closely monitor the list for new users and immediately delete those users that we deem as spammers, scammers, hackers or abusers. As of this date, there are now 12, 272 actual user memberships on line. The overall number prior was over 26,000.
This should give all of us a safer user environment.
Sincerely,
Rick
