#Message Filtering

[acorviart]

not to sound like a boomer, but I need some people to learn how to write emails in a semi-professional (at the very least) format so you're not cold emailing a business/potential employer/any other stranger about formal matters in the exact same way you'd DM a close friend on instagram

the formality/language can loosen up in the email chain once you've established a rapport and you match the other person if they're being less formal, but please don't have the very first email you send a stranger be written in all lowercase ultra-casual sms slang with no greeting or signature and a billion emojis

The Rise of SMS as an Attack Vector and How SMS Firewalls Protect Against It

The Rise of SMS as an Attack Vector As mobile phones become ubiquitous communication devices, Short Message Service (SMS) has grown to become one of the most widely used messaging platforms globally. However, the open nature of SMS has also made it an attractive attack vector for cybercriminals. SMS is an inherently insecure channel that lacks end-to-end encryption and authentication. Threat actors are exploiting these weaknesses to execute large-scale SMS phishing and smishing campaigns. According to recent reports, SMS attacks increased by 700% in 2020 alone. Millions of users receive fraudulent texts each day, putting personal and financial data at risk. With nearly universal access to SMS, organizations need robust defenses to protect mobile users from this growing threat. How SMS Firewalls Mitigate SMS-based Attacks An SMS firewall sits between an organization's internal systems and the public telephone network to filter and monitor SMS traffic in real-time. It uses a variety of techniques to identify and block malicious or unauthorized SMS messages before they ever reach end users. SMS firewalls inspect the content, context, and patterns of incoming and outgoing text messages to identify signs of suspicious activity. They can analyze messages for malicious links, detect SMS spoofing, uncover bulk messaging patterns, and match messages against known phishing and smishing campaigns. This layered filtering approach protects users from a wide range of SMS-based attacks without disrupting legitimate business communications. When suspicious messages are detected, the SMS firewalls is able to take automatic actions to mitigate threats. Common responses include blocking messages, redirecting URLs to warn pages, scrubbing attachments, and appending risk warnings. Administrators also receive alerts about detected threats so they can take follow-up actions like blacklisting senders or configuring new rules. For high-risk situations, the SMS firewall can even suspend entire inbound or outbound messaging on the fly. This level of real-time monitoring and control gives security teams the tools needed to proactively shut down SMS-borne attacks before any damage occurs. A Holistic Defense Against Emerging SMS Threats Modern SMS firewalls go beyond basic filtering to offer multilayered protections against an ever-evolving threat landscape. As attackers tweak their tactics, the latest solutions can quickly adapt defenses. Machine learning models and behavioral analytics now supplement traditional techniques, allowing SMS firewalls to more accurately detect unknown threats and anomalous activity. Deep packet inspection also examines full SMS payloads and protocols to uncover threats hidden in unusual formats, encodings or signaling messages. Get more insights on SMS Firewall

I've met a lot of nice people from this fandom and I'm glad I decided to explore my own identity through Jon and Martin instead of following whatever was fanon but I think the greater fandom as a whole has made me colder and more cynical. For a fandom that seems to desperately want to be seen as open and inclusive, it's ironic that I encountered the worst kind of acephobic ("you're depicting ace people wrong. Ace people should never experience sexual feelings."), racist ("Your Jon is the wrong race./You're drawing pocs wrong. His skin is not dark enough."), and transphobic ("you're not giving Martin dysphoria. All trans people should feel dysphoric or else they're not really trans.") policing just for drawing fanart. I mean, any fandom has its weirdos but I think tma has (or at least had) a high concentration of them.

Anyway, I'm glad I'm used to it now because people on youtube are 100x worse (though I think I can withstand outright bigotry than whatever the hell I experienced in this fandom)

pjo fandom TAG YOUR POSTS PROPERLY and STOP SHOVING UNRELATED TAGS i’m so fucking done

[referencees]

Hey guys if you’re not tagging your stuff properly especially in fandom tags, people are gonna block you. Tags are the only way to filter content and when you don’t use them properly you mess up the filtration system on this site. The only other way to get your posts to go away is to block you.

I have blocked so many x reader fanfic authors because I just don’t want to see any x reader or character prompt stuff. But unfortunately a lot of these users are both young and new to tumblr and don’t seem to know (or maybe care) how this sites mechanics work. And they don’t tag any of their stuff properly so filters don’t work at all. So the only other way for me to get the spammy amount of x reader stuff out of fandom tags is to block every person that posts it. That’s literally the only other way.

If you don’t want to get blocked for really dumb reasons just tag your stuff correctly. Literally one x reader tag is all you need.
