1. Flagging Suspicious Posts

• Monitor Classified Listings:
  • Review all newly submitted classified posts for any unusual patterns, such as repetitive content, links to external sites, or suspicious keywords (e.g., “free”, “earn money”, “click here”).
  • Use automated tools and filters to identify potential spam based on predefined criteria (e.g., frequency of similar posts, use of flagged words).
• Flag Spam Content:
  • Identify posts that could be considered spam (e.g., irrelevant ads, overly promotional content).
  • Flag suspected posts for further review by the admin team, marking them as “under review.”
• Review User Profiles:
  • Check the profiles of users who frequently post classified ads. Look for unusual activity or any profile details that indicate they may be spam accounts.
• Manual Screening:
  • For flagged posts that require human intervention, conduct a deeper manual review to assess the context and validity of the post before taking action.

  • Notify the user (if identifiable) about the action taken and the reason (e.g., violation of terms and conditions).
• Quarantine Procedure:
  • If there is uncertainty about the nature of the content, quarantine the post temporarily for further investigation.
  • Place quarantined posts in a separate, isolated section where they cannot be accessed by regular users until a thorough investigation is completed.
• Verification of Malware:
  • If malware is suspected, run security checks on the post’s content and links using a trusted security software.
  • Block any URLs or IP addresses found to be associated with malicious content.
  • Ensure the classified section and site remain secure by removing any embedded malware.
