This mornings batch all seem to reference a website "moneyand......com"  which can be found on icann.org - a main registry site for .com addresses. They must always list an email address for reporting abuse examples.  If they are all coming from different domains, then I would suggest blocking new registrations for a short while.

They’ve infiltrated the gallery now, and I’m not able to remove them from there - Dawn will have to zap those! Busy removing stuff on the forum so I’ll get back to it!

Doesn't gallery content get deleted when you delete the user? Just asking.

They have been removed from the gallery, Dawn or one of the team has obviously zapped them . You have to open the post to remove or ban any of the posts Andrew , moderators cannot open a post in the gallery and therefore cannot remove them . Up until today it not been an issue as the registration etc puts off potential spammers , well that was the case but like everything else they find a way to circumvent any system.

I sent an email at the end of last week to Dawn about this. She has replied today and is asking her technicians to look at the problem, so fingers crossed!  I didn’t realise that the Gallery had also been infiltrated. So annoying.

Well a new one on me , I had notification that a post had been made on one of my paintings , it turns out it one of our voodoo friends not sure if it’s a curse or a blessing they have bestowed on me. Sadly I can’t remove the comment. I will let you know if I win the lottery , I suddenly have females running after me or my right leg falls off.

I’ve also had this happen to my gallery work, albeit some time ago! I believe Dawn deleted them for me…

I’ve just deleted a couple that had attached spam , but I can’t get to ban the spammer as we can on the forum . The spam was on my gallery nit the main one so it’s easy to remove the painting but a nuisance all the same . Maybe Mama Jessica doesn’t like my paintings , hope so .

You remember the charming ditty, If I Had A Hammer?   Well, if I had a hammer (incidentally: I have) and a spammer within reach, the spammer would be hammered before they could stammer a protest....  and neither their voodoo spells nor dangly-bit enlargement process would save them.
