If you manage a social network, use analytics apps to automatically suggest new friends to each member. When you suggest new friends to a member, select 5 potential friends who are likely to be very closely connected to the member (based on friends that they share), and 5 who are not.If the member in question tries to connect to anyone regardless of whether they belong to "possible friend" or "not related", the spam score for the member in question should be increase, resulting in

• Fewer "new friends" suggestions
• Fewer invites made available to him/her
• Restrictions on email and posting usage
