Very often before I start to work, I check every dedicated platform, forum, gallery to CG art in general and I must say that I saw recently a lot of spams in the gallery here. I mean those posts make no sense to the common purpose of why people started enjoying this platform from the beginning! Let's say for me maybe is not that disturbing because I know where to get my inspiration from, but for a guy who recently starts on this path, and joins this community, I think will be kinda defocused or less inspired. What do you guys think?
What will be the correct solution to this recent phenomena?
Thank you and wish you all the best!
yeah noticed those too, seems bot generated stuff. so maybe extra "i am not a robot" check would be nice.
I've been reporting them all to Dennis the dev guy, he has reviewed how they're coming through and deleted them and will be doing an update this week that will hopefully block them 😊👍🏻
irinel0790 I'm so sorry to hear these are affecting the learning process for you. 😞
I certainly agree that the spam can be very distracting, as well as take away from the validity of the gallery as a whole. We can certainly sympathize with the annoyance of the recent gallery, this is not how we intended the gallery to ever be used.
These particular projects are all being removed as frequent and as fast as possible, but most importantly we are also making sure these types of projects don't make it on the site at all. Many different measures are being taken to keep these particular spam accounts from posting spam projects, and in some cases even existing at all.
Most importantly it should be known that the spam is not here to stay, but please bare with us until we can eradicate it. 🔥
