Maybe Painters Online Needs a new firewall or security updates to block this spam stuff...

About the same here , reason I put this up again was to se how long it was before it appeared . It came up surprisingly quickly.

Reminder to all moderators… There are two buttons to delete these pests, obviously the first button at the bottom of the page, once that is pressed another button will appear that says DELETE  This removes the post completely, but I’ve noticed that it isn’t always pressed.

Well done chaps, and chapesses. There must be a simple way to delay the ‘registering to posting’ process. Genuine artists would not be put off having to wait a day or two before they could comment or post. And I would think a spammer would be bombarding so many easy targets they’d forget to come back (hopefully). Most reputable social media pages (groups, etc) require this nowadays.
