Hi webmaster,

The Photo Album has been abused by one member who posted a single comment to hundreds of Photos.

Can you please delete these as a batch? The user name is:

wwwww

Thanks,
David

Haha, dattomaster almost two times over in 24hrs all with the same post!

So that's a program isn't it? or is it an actual human just clicking and posting (sorry if that's a dumb question).

SMOKE EM'!!

Thanks to webmaster Daniel, it is now cleared up. Webmaster is stronger than a DattoMaster.

Yes, it appears the spammers were using an automated program. Cheating if you will.

Yes. Please give me the power to 'freeze accounts'. I would take pleasure in pushing a freeze button that expires the login credential and locks the account.

Hi,
Sorry about the delay about this issue, I've deleted some (1000's) of the spam posts, please add the ones I've missed to this post.

From this day on, until I find a way to stop automated posts, every member will be hand aproved.
