Dear twitter – a freebie

Hi there twitter support.

It seems to me that you’re having some problem filtering spam pronbots that are joining your site atm, so I thought I’d offer you this algorithm to slot into your sign up process.

If (end of name matches X9999) or (avatar matches one of the many blocked on these bots so far) or (bio matches one of the many blocked on these bots so far) refer signup to a real person.

You’re welcome.

I’ll charge next time. For a small* fee I’d be happy to turn this into code to slot into your site 😉

*Small from your point of view.
