Hidden spam on skin comments
skinners, check your skins
Saturday, September 11, 2021 by 2of3 | Discussion: Forum Issues
I've just noticed that quite a few of my skin comments have hidden links in them. Looks like a clever bot has included a link to a seemingly innocent comment. The link text is white, so it doesn't show up unless you mark the text.
I will send a PM to a mod to get the comments removed on my own skins, but y'all should look at your own.

If you see any Spam in your comments just PM a link for each one to a Mod for removal ..
Which I have done (to you)
The only reason I have bothered to write a post about it is because the links are not visible (white text on white background) so they look like harmless positive comments. Wanted to warn other skinners to check their own skin comments.....

OK, Spam Deleted ..
next time though send to one of the Skin Mods, who can delete and then Ban them also ..

Yes...send them to myself, Hankers or DrJBHL [in that order ideally] as the spam removal isn't sufficient...the spammer also needs to go and it can be an issue [judgement call] of inadvertent spam-looking posts from a legitimate customer/user...not a 'regular' spammer...
