"Mos MySpace: You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious."

Apologies Obi Wan, but I just had to. The Farse is with me :)

Is it just me or has MySpace become the toilet of the internet. While I have a blog there that I use more often than this one, I actually spend more time reporting spam, phish and other mock meets (aka faux add requests.)

I am starting to burn out on reporting the abuses and to be honest, the response I have receive from MySpace is a joke. Apparently they monitor how often an add request is denied and if it hits a certain percentage, then they take action. It would be better to just have a button on the add request form, that one can select for abuse, but then again, that solution may be abused too.

I keep getting the same spam messages from some young thing in GA. who's advertising her IM, apparently for those who are into one-hand-typing ;) There there are the jerks who modify the code in their profile so you cannot delete them or attempt to redirect you to the "Adult Content Viewer" which malware. Do a search no "MySpace Adult Content Viewer" and check out how many pages you will find.

I've come to accept that all of this is part of the WWW (Wild Wild Web) and that MySpace is the Skid Row of the internet. Of course that makes me a bum, but at least I am not a whore :)
