On one hand, how do we compete with artists with 50,000 or 500,000 friends, but on the other how do we not get banned. Right now we're not using any bots at all, and probably won't due to the risk involved. But now we hear we could get banned by adding this many friends by hand as well, which really concerns us. Right now we're only over 1,000 friends but Jim and I are pushing a lot of Friend buttons, sometimes over 200 /day by hand. What really peeves me is that if you pay $3000 to MySpace I think they might give you a friend-adding robot or service with their advertising program. Way to level the playing field, Tom. If this is true, banning bots and deleting profiles has more to do with extorting money from bands than reducing spam or working toward the user community's interests! http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/139273/myspace_launches_selfserve_ad_service.htmlbooks.html http://arselect.com/v2/band_advertising2.php We’re trying to deal with these issues right now with my band the Fabulous Johnson Brothers.

I'm not sure what this means or if i wake up tomorrow i'll find them gone. Has this happened to anybody? Johnny Hi,

They're mixing two different points into one. The first point is about spamming/abusing myspace. The other is using bots. THESE ARE SEPARATE. If one uses a bot it does not necessarily signify they are spamming/abusing myspace. And vice versa. Please read my editorial and sign my petition here: http://undermindedone.tripod.com I will be writing another editorial on how to rectify myspace's ludicrious elements. They need a wake up call.

I was at 3500. I do not spam and I am a hard working solo producer helping other young artist to get exposure. My deletion is a huge pain and I am deeply frustrated and hurt. I do not pass the buck to my people cause I believe in helping and investing in truly talented artist. I put a lot of hard work into them and into my account to promote their efforts. I even belong to a host of other social networking communities and direct that traffic to Myspace in turn helping to promote Myspace as well. I just truned my C.D. over to CD Baby and Itunes in which my album cover is my myspace url to my myspace music account site. Myspace must let the freedom ring and let those who are innocent exist to do the good that they are set out to do. damaged I personally just got my only music account deleted from last night.

MySpace will eventually self destruct. They are into the quick money and don't care that they are the laughing stalk of the web designer/dev community. The respectable sites like facebook will prevail. Just wait a while longer.. MySpace will eventually self destruct.
