SayPro Monthly January SCMR-5 SayPro Monthly Classified Spam Protection: Implement antispam measures for ad submissions by SayPro Classified Office under SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR

The SayPro Classified Office, under SayPro Monthly January SCMR-5 as part of the SayPro Monthly Classified Spam Protection initiative, will undertake a comprehensive assessment of the spam protection systems currently in place. This will ensure that spam prevention measures are functioning effectively and that necessary improvements are made. The following tasks outline the step-by-step actions that will be executed during the period.

1. Conduct Initial Review of Current Spam Protection Systems

🔹 Task: Gather information about all active spam protection mechanisms and assess their functionality.
🔹 Actions:

Identify existing antispam tools, including software, plugins, and algorithms in use (e.g., CAPTCHA, IP filtering, keyword-based spam detection).
Review past spam activity reports and performance analytics to determine the effectiveness of current protections.
Identify weaknesses or loopholes that allow spam submissions to bypass current measures.
Examine how the spam protection systems interact with user experience (avoiding unnecessary friction for legitimate users).
