Well that's rude! Artists to invest in 2024.Contemporary artist Gela Mikava Spamming the gallery using different accounts.  I couldn't see a way of reporting it in the gallery itself so I thought I'd drop a note here. Happy for a moderator to delete this post. You all do a great job and I don't want to add to it. Cheers.

An obvious misuse of site rules. Very inconsiderate.

I agree, and had wondered whether/how to report or complain about this very blatant advertising. One for Dawn perhaps on her return?

It isn’t acceptable but these blatant and unwarranted advertising ploys always seem to happen when Dawn is away! This is totally unacceptable and inconsiderate to have registered twice under different names. Leave it with me, I’ll see what I can do about getting them all removed and the perpetrator banned, but I can’t guarantee anything. The editor is also away as far as I know, but I’ll be speaking with the deputy editor in the next hour or so! I’ll update you once I have further information… Alan

Having trouble getting on the gallery etc for a few day and just picked up on this . I agree it totally wrong and I will message Dawn as moderators cannot remove postings on the gallery. I did put a moon one suggested that the advrise elsewhere.

Can I just politely say, if your household goes away on Easter holiday would you leave all the windows and door  for anyone to step in???. See my point.

Okay guys, I’ve got an update… I’ve been in touch with the deputy editor and she has passed my comments to the relevant department. I can’t guarantee that they will sort it, but it’s a start! Paul, Dawn is away all week, otherwise we could have had this sorted yesterday!
