Thanks Pradeep,

Yes, it's true that lots of spamers here and I really apprriciate if you are taking action against them

PradeepH - This is has been an ongoing concern for years and nothing is changing.  If anything, it's getting worse.  More effort is seemingly spent censoring harmless posts in here than promptly removing spam/scam posts from the main site.

As Thomas mentioned, this has been going on for years and it keeps on getting worse.

I will make a suggestion, for what it's worth. Why not have a code sent to the job poster/applicant phone or email? Our bank, phone company and other online platforms do this. The reason: to eliminate scammers and bolster security.

I am not with experience in the Internet operations. Others I have spoken with tell me it should be doable.

That is something you can get to work on...right now.  

Your platform is swirling down the abyss.
