Mrs Frugal Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) Fred has just alerted me to spam messages left as comments for some of the photos in the gallery. I've removed the ones I've found so far but as there are so many pages of photos and albums, could I ask you to keep an eye on your own photos and albums for spam postings and notify me if you come across any so that I can remove them please. Thanks everyone . Edited October 24, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Sorry about this everyone but I've since discovered 143 pages of spam comments which need deleting. I'm at my wits end now so don't bother to notify me as I know where they all are now and am plodding down the list removing them all.

Mrs Frugal Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Fortunately after working for the last hour and a half removing comments, I've discovered that only half of those pages had spam on. The rest were genuine comments but I've removed well over 700 spam comments since you PMd me, Fred. Thanks for spotting them. Now I know the gallery is also being hit, I can hopefully keep an eye on things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Thanks Paola. The good thing is that I now know where they leave their spam and can get rid of it before it gets out of hand again. They caught me unawares before . Cattle prod is warming up as I type .

Geoid Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Thanks Kate! On the subject of spam, I found loads and loads of it in the wiki, but I deleted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 I had a go at James about the Wiki, Fred. I'd tried to remove the spam but it was just too much and was getting worse. James has since tinkered with it, got rid of all the rubbish and made it so you can only make alterations if you're logged in. A major improvement.

Egluntyne Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Sometimes rude or unpleasant comments. Sometimes links, direct or indirect to their dodgy websites based in Uzbekistan or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
