The term "SPAM" transactions refers to deposits received in one's own wallet (less commonly in an exchange) of tokens that have no value and are solely used for marketing or advertising purposes. Often, these tokens have recognizable names such as "CLAIM REWARD TOKEN" or "INVITATION TOKEN. PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE." |
Note well: CryptoBooks automatically detects and labels SPAM tokens for which it is certain, without any action required from the user. For all other cases, follow the procedure described below. |
CryptoBooks allows its users to label a token and all its transactions as SPAM, so they don't have any accounting impact.
Option 1: Label as SPAM from the Connections List
In the Connections page, open the details of the wallet where you received the SPAM token.
Go to the row of the SPAM token and click on the Actions button on the right side of the table.
Now press Report as SPAM
Confirm your choice by pressing OK, confirm SPAM in the dialog box that appears.
DONE! You have just labeled this token as SPAM, and now you will see it as follows.
Option 2: Label as SPAM from the Missing Conversion Rate List
SPAM transactions, being made with unofficial tokens, will always trigger the "Missing Conversion Rate" notification.
In the list of transactions for which CryptoBooks couldn't identify the exchange rate, check the box of the token you want to label as spam and confirm your choice by pressin the button Label the (n.) tokens as SPAM.
Restoring a Token Incorrectly Labeled as SPAM
If you mistakenly labeled a token as SPAM, you can always restore it on your own.
In the Connections page, open the details of the wallet for the SPAM token you want to restore.
Go to the row of the SPAM token and click on the Restore token button on the right side of the table.
Done!
