Great news and it’s about time! I thoroughly enjoy clicking block and report spam users while using TweetDeck.

If you actually went to the sites and looked at the links, you wouldn’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that they are spammy. The basic problem is that many Internet marketers are spammers. They will use a website literally to death to their own benefit. Makes no difference to them that they are devaluing someone’s website and decreasing member satisfaction to the people who actually enjoy the website or community. You see what they’ve done to Craigslist … can’t hardly post a legitimate ad there anymore … Twitter is getting insane with all the spammers (marketers). Few of their spammy little links provide any real value to anyone because they’re just promoting their spammy little products. Rarely do they ever put any thought into their "Internet business" and work towards making a valuable, long term online business. Just promote the hell out of pure crap everywhere they can find to take a dump. It’s small wonder Internet marketing has such a bad name. It is largely well deserved.

I am new to twitter and the internet and I have been using twitter for about a month and I hope they do not ban my account. I use it to publish my successful ezine articles submissions as well as when I posted something on a blog.

Just from your screen shot I see a bunch of those spammers who were following me. I never followed them back, so I was out of their spamming loop. Except for bamazizi–and I know that he has been pretty vocal that he is not a spammer when I see his tweets.

So, if enough people complain about you, then you could potentially get banned? What if a whole group of people decide that they just don’t like you and report you, then you would get banned because of a BS cult that has something against you?!

You call “Twitter Blacklist” a public service? Please give me a break. They themselves state that they a banning “spammers and obnoxious people” and apparently they are judge and jury for determining what is an obnoxious person. They are behaving exactly like the jackbooted thugs that “run” things over at Wikipedia. More Web 2.0 not-so-benevolent dictators who will impose their skewed values on the rest of us. No thanks. Let people act like adults and block who they want. We don’t need these hyperactive do-gooders determining who is not acting appropriately.
