Laura Weishaupt Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 <p>There was quite a bit of this in Casual Photo Conversations and some in No Words this morning. Those forums have been cleaned up, so hopefully Business will follow soon. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member69643 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 <p>Sad, this need, some humans have, to deface the property of others. Ever seen the fabled "lost ending" of "It's a Wonderful Life"? Spammers deserve the same treatment.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 <p>I have cleaned up a lot of them on forums I moderate, but I don't moderate the Business Forum.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve m smith Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 <p>I don't understand this typ of spam. There's nothing to click on and no advertisements. What's the point?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't cost them anything to spam, and someone might respond.</p> <p>Nice job on the cleanup, BTW!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norma Desmond Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 <p>In several of the spams I flagged for administration, there actually was an image attachment included that I did not, of course, click on.</p> We didn't need dialogue. We had faces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulfbeach47 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 <p>I didn't click on any of the links, but just spent over a half hour deleting hundreds of them. Very annoying. Much worse then the last time Pnet had this problem. Was worried that it was my computer, since I only saw 1 or 2 real messages mixed in all this garbage. <br /><br />For future reference…. is there a way to disable ALL my Photo.net alerts until the problem is fixed. I see a page where I can disable/enable forums and threads, but is there a One Click to turn off everything coming from Pnet?</p> <p>Edit- A new wave of them are coming in my inbox right now.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
