I don't think there is anything more discusting than to see photo of the bare backside

of someone who is following me on Twitter. How do you all keep these types followers away other than just blocking them as they pop up. I checked and the photo isn't showing on my list of followers.

Jenny - Isn't spam just nothing but offensive, in whatever form? It appalls me that there's so much of it. Maybe report the offender to Twitter and see if you get any response?

This only the second bit of spam I've received but this one in particular was very offensive. My grandkids are sometimes looking over my shoulder when I open my email and the thoughts of them happening to see a photo like this doesn't make me happy. I will definately report this one to Twitter.

I always block them - unfortunately there's no way to stop people following you if you want to leave your profile open. Thankfully these people are in the minority.

Yes, the only thing I think we can do is block them and report them to Twitter. A few weeks ago I discovered about 5 p-rn spammers following me - I was horrified! What if my son was near the computer??

I get an email whenever someone follows me so I can block them before they show up in my follower list but when the kids are around when I open the emails, there the nasty pic is for all to see.
