Rejecting applications for membership - detecting spam
Joining our network is not an automatic process. The profile of each new member has to be checked by a living person (me) and then manually approved (by pressing the 'approve' button). Without this, our membership would be quickly dominated by spam robots posing as humans, or humans working as spam robots.
Today I found an application and profile that was clearly composed without any evidence of a human mind at work: although all parts of the form were filled with academic looking details, the details in different parts of the form were inconsistent and nonsensical in combination. They appear to have been composed by combining details from the profiles of various recently joined members.
Here is what I saw, with the name deleted in case the name actually belongs to a real person.
If anyone believes this member was wrongly rejected, please let me know!
Thanks, Peter
