How MeetInPK Detects Spam and Abuse Automatically

Every message sent on MeetInPK passes through a couple of automated checks before it's delivered — invisible when everything's normal, but there specifically to catch the patterns spam and abusive messaging tend to follow.

Rate limiting

If an account sends messages far faster than a normal conversation would allow, further messages are temporarily held back. This is aimed squarely at bots and scripted spam, which typically try to flood a chat as fast as possible — a real person typing normally never notices this limit.

Basic spam pattern detection

Messages that repeat identical text over and over, contain an unusual number of links, or are mostly random capitalization get flagged automatically. None of this requires a human to be watching in real time — it's a first line of defense that runs on every message.

Reports still matter

Automated detection catches patterns, not judgment calls — it won't catch someone being rude in perfectly normal-looking messages, or a slow-building scam that doesn't trip any pattern. That's exactly what the Report button is for, and every report is reviewed by an actual person on our team, not just logged and ignored.
