Spam in the comments on skins

Monday, October 16, 2017 by BoXXi | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I just noticed LOADS of spam in the comments on one of my skins: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/xion/887/

Is this normal these days?

Somewhat common to get spam. But not as much as you have on this one thread. PM Jafo or someone with the link and he will remove it. 

Notice on this thread there is a icon to click on "Report this post" Click on it and you can just click spam. Usually gets removed very quickly. However anything that is uploaded such as a Windowblind, Dream, Wallpaper, etc has no such option so one must contact a person. I have asked for this option a couple times but nothing has ever been changed so we must contact someone.

 Bryan...a bit that way, particularly if no-one checks their skins from time to time.

All but 3 of those were already IP Banned, however the way the database works means each and every spam comment needs to be removed individually, unlike what can be done on the Forums.

If you find any just PM me the links...about 5 skins at a time so I don't get lost chasing links and I'll while away more perfect spring weather...

....I feel my life ebbing awa...........
