Gallery spam

Rebecca · August 7, 2018

So I was looking through the Community Photos over in the gallery and noticed that there are a lot of spam Albums. But since they’re not pictures, or comments, I couldn’t figure out how to report them. So since every single album in Community Photos is spam excluding the very first one (FeatherWriter’s), I’m just going to post a link to Community Photos so they can be deleted. If I need to post individual links to each of the spam Albums, just let me know, and I can do that.

Rebecca is totally right. There are a ton of spam albums and no "Report" button or anything for the albums themselves. Community Photos is absolutely the worst of the lot, as Rebecca pointed out, but most of the other galleries have at least one spam album in there as well, usually near the bottom.

No worries, I got this.
(...yes, I admit it, I started making this list and couldn't stop. Please send help. :rolleyes: )

Administrators/Moderators, in an effort to help clean up the 17th Shard, here is a list of all the spam albums I could find (spoilered for length, and to decrease the visibility that these spammers get on this site.)

There's always reporting the individual image. That's what I've done so far.

Also, is this a new problem? It's the first time I'm noticing this many spam images on the gallery.

The issue is that they don't have images, so you can't report them.

But yeah, new filter stops a lot of it from the threads, so the spammers got smart and moved to the gallery.

Someone send me some motivation and time to extend the filter to galleries... Because that's me generally:

Our "nuke from orbit" spam button, sadly, removes gallery images but not albums, so I appreciate the gathering of those albums so I can kill them.

Do you have a "nuke from up close" spam button?

There's nuke and there's manual deletion.

@Nues1956 is a bot

It seems to have been taken care of.

It had spam posts.

Sorry for double post, but it's been a month, so oh well. http://www.17thshard.com/forum/gallery/category/7-alcatraz-art/ Alcatraz Art has a ton of album spam. The whole first page, and probably past that.

Oh crap, the bots have invaded the Alcatraz art. Anyone have pomegranates?
