At this level, none.  It's causing a denial of service because the real questions get buried.  I've already reached out to Bob Stewart through email and Facebook for help.  I've reported over 40 so far.

I don't think there is too much difference between the two but I may not be as conversant as others on this. I do get SPAM for all kinds of things lots of solicitions to real estate agents for sure.

It is my hope that AR gets a handle on the spam-o-rama here in the Rain. The solution on the surface seems easy. Yet, the back end build will take time, money and resources.
