We're trying something new to combat the utterly ridiculous amount of spam in the galleries. I've implemented two systems to filter the spammers in the gallery. I'm moderating all comments so that artists don't get hassled any more by junk emails and signed up for a filtering program. I'll only be moderating comments until I get the filtering program all trained up and every legitimate comment will be sent through as long as it's not an ad for games, shoes, designer clothing, random quotations of Dickens, or in Chinese. I check comments every day so will absolutely approve new, legitimate comments same day they are left.
I'm still deleting about 75 fake usernames and 100-ish spam reviews per day of spammers and am working on new ways of stopping them from even registering. It may mean jumping through a few more hoops for real users, but I'll let you know how it's going as we move forward in the battle.
We're also working on getting the little program back to have the "Most Recent" gallery uploads shown on the front pages again. I don't know about you all, but I'm really missing seeing those!
Have you been to the site recently? There's so much that's new on both sides that you should come on over for a peek! (Hint: check out the artwork and leave some non-spammy comments!)
Thanks so much for your patience while we work on making the site even better.
