Disclaimer: This is operational guidance for volunteer admins. Flagged numbers on our list are public-interest notes from join-request patterns — not criminal findings.
Playbook
- Turn on admin approval for joins. Invite-link floods are the #1 spam pattern. Require admin approval on every join request.
- Screenshot before you reject. Capture profile name + number. Share with neighbour admins via our spammers list workflow.
- Pin community rules. No forwards of unverified crime/medical rumours; no political spam; no job-scam PDFs.
- Separate announce vs chat. If your apartment group is noisy, run a small announce-only channel for GCC/Metro alerts.
- Never click strange payment links. Admins are high-value targets. Confirm bank details offline for society collections.

Forward this page URL plus the spammers list to neighbouring society admins when an invite-flood hits. Consistency across groups is what stops the same numbers hopping street to street.
