Another spate of spammers. They might even be hijacking some bits of the site, which I'm pretty sure you'd consider an insult.

I understand the need to advertise, but I fail to see how a ruthless spamming would make people inclined to consider their products.

Spam - back again. Attacking the forums and attacking these two threads:

Wish List Time!
Side 7 v5 Status Update

Good luck!

How does one delete the spam comments, such as the sudden new attack today? I'd like to get rid of them, especially since I don't like the tacky background they stick on my submissions, but I don't see any way how to.

Regrettably, there currently isn't a way. The new site in-progress does have that capability, though. The best you can do with the current site is to hide the comments (make them private).

There's someone going by as wiganwmlan, and it's made 13 annoying comments my picture/drawing
"Out of Control Grounder - Cover"

I've hide the comments on that image, but it don't seem to work. The background of that page seems to act a little strange too.

I noticed when uploading images you can override files, would doing that do me any good of getting rid of those ad comments?

Just curious... Thanks.

I've been getting a bunch from wiganwmlan, too. Seems to have hit my pics still listed on the homepage as "Recent Uploads".

The spam messages from that account have been removed, and that account has been disabled.

I tried using the support feature, but it bounced.

Looks like there's another one: hnorthwomen

They've left over 50 spam comments in the last half hour for shoes, clothing and jewelry. They're leaving around 10 comments on each image.

Kat

Likewise.

Seems this hnorthwomen might be making their way through the Recent Uploads page. -.-

Me too. July 13 hnorthwomen left one comment on my drawing "Flying Ninja Squirrel". Then, today (Jul. 22) hnorthwomen left comments on my drawing "Sonic and Tails - The Chase" six times in a row.

I want happy and helpful comments on my drawings, not ugly ones.

I tried to send a comment a few weeks ago but it came back in my email as
an error. I know you are busy, but please fix this.

User disabled. All spammed comments deleted.

-- BK

Thanks for disabling hnorthwomen spammer, but now spam strikes again at
"Wish List Time!".

Spammers are the worst. >_<

I just spotted another spambot that goes by the name "glevanglerodo."
Their posting a lot of spam on the forms.

July 28, spammer: mcoopermanmauro left a comment on my drawing "Flying Ninja Squirrel" x8 of them.

I'm going to start posting/reporting these jerk spammers, until fixed.

Aug 4th, spammer strikes again here on the forums, known as asdonavansanto . Hitting Side 7 v5 Status Update and Bug Reports.

Got another one: sapelsbrit
Dropped 19 ads on a single pic of mine. So far, they haven't hit any of my other ones yet.

I also got hit by mcoopermanmauro back in July. 21 ads over three pics.

Sept. 04, there's a spammer known as pnnopegg on the lose, commenting on
kip grimes' images "Black" x9 and "Caught Red Handed"x10, and there's spam in message forums again.

There's more than that, my recent two submissions have received spam comments from several identities, though pnnopegg is one of those who has left the spam comments! So along with pnnopegg, these are the spam identities who have left spam comments on my Castle Greyskull - Ground Complete and Castle Greyskull 02 submissions:

sapelsbrit
edobunkerrenal
rhelfertjohn

It has become quite annoying to get dozens of email notifications that I have received a comment on a pic of mine, only to find that it is one of these spamming jerks!

My other concern, is that the option to block the commenter, is not available, so has the site been hacked as well? Even the Manage Commenter Blacklist option is not available!

All of the above complaints should be taken care of. Thanks for your continued vigilance. It helps a lot.

God, I cannot wait to get the new site finished.

-- BK

Thanks BK, I've just seen that all those spam comments have gone from my pics!

Phew they were really annoying!

A spammer known as oraeguizabtheod has hit General Chit Chat forum.
Then many artists pictures in the recently uploaded pictures have been hit by a
spammer: slzolnoskerafae ten or so times.

Thanks for that. I've taken care of it.

-- BK

My pic Castle Greyskull 02 has been hit by this slzolnoskerafae person also!

Plus, Block Commenter is not functioning, would be very useful here!

Sorry I missed those. I've taken care of them.

And, yeah, the block commenter function is broken, and for that I apologize. The new site works properly in that regard.

-- BK

The annoying part is where they have edited the page, so that when I click on what should take me to my gallery or another area of Side7, it takes me to an entirely different website!
