- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

If your spam filter, security system or things in that vein needs to be kept secret to prevent people from bypassing it, it's probably pretty badly designed.
So what's the alternative? I'd love to know what the alternative is.
I don't know, A spam section in the app that sends all messages from numbers outside of your contacts seems good enough for me. Combine it with no notification, flooding prevention, and auto deletion after a period, you'll never even notice it.
it might take up space and data usage but it's better than being closed source.
