Unwanted Comments

Hi all, we're aware that a few members have been receiving comments from new members, usually along the lines of how much they admire your photo and looking to purchase the image for a large amount of money. It's highly unusual and we doubt very much that it is a genuine offer so we'd advise you not to respond and report the comment via the Helpdesk., or if you see it on somebody else's journal, use the report button.

Unfortunately, we're not immune to such things and it is credit to our moderation team that they have suspended the suspicious accounts so quickly. Nevertheless, we know that quite a few people received the same comment over the last couple of days. We believe we have now dealt with all of the accounts putting out these comments, so unless new accounts are set up, you don't need to do anything.

We're looking at the possibility of setting up an early warning to our moderators if a new members commenting behaviour is unusual, but in the meantime just let us know if you see anything suspicious.

You can delete any unwanted comments on your own journal, using the bin icon alongside the text.

No need to comment on this post, it's for information only. Please don't report any suspicious behaviour in a comment response as we don't monitor the Blip Central blog as regularly as our help desk and moderator reports.
