    Not sure where this should be posted…

    Went through my WGA photo album today and noticed several comments made on my photos from “Anonymous” containing weird looking gibberish and web links…. all made on 27, 28 or 29 Sept 09.

    I deleted all these “comments” and changed our setting so no one is able to leave a comment now. 🙁 I noticed the exact same gibberish and web links on several other member photos in their photo album. I didn’t both trying the links.

    Just an FYI that someone is having fun out there with the pictures! 🙄 👿

    It happens all the time actually. Sometimes I go through and delete them, but only when I have a lot of free time.

    Really?? It’s the first I’ve seen. At least on our photos. Good to know.

    This happened in the recent past… I cleaned up the garbage and thought I changed a setting that would prevent non-members (anonymous users) from leaving comments. Unfortunately there was still a way for these bots to submit comments without being logged in… sort of a back door which apparently they found.

    Anyway, the loophole should be closed and the new batch of spam comments in the photo album is now gone.

    I deleted the comments on my pages last night and changed my settings also.
