Glad it worked-out ok Peter - I've got one from this character . . . http://members.fotki.com/michelbark/about/ Seems to be advertising Dental Health Care . . . Made a complaint to Fotki (id 16894) but they haven't actioned it yet.
========
Well hopefully now that they've started they could keep all these guys in a database and ban all their IP's from posting on fotki.
Fotki got back to me this morning (very fast) & they did delete them, way to go fotki !!

Hi Pete - deleted comments - no, never as far as I'm aware. But if someone writes a whole bunch of stuff and later decides that they don't want it to be seen - and are stupid enough not to make it private, I suppose they could always delete it retrospectively. If it's their comment, it's theirs to leave or remove, as they want. Were they all comments from one source? Even if they were from more than one source, if they were "all" the comments, the multiple sources could be a single person with multiple accounts. Peter
Hey mate, that's what I get, random typing in the message box, no links, but check the names next time - all seem Italian and always with Viagra or connotations thereof !
hi again ok, got it. i dont get any visitors to my albums so i dont get nasty comments.lol. sounds like someone is jealous not to mention childish. glad they are all gone. no reason to be that ignorant. take care
G'd evening bro......it's early Sunday morning in the Glen and it's quite cool for August (45 F. / 7 C.). Sun is just up and it should get a bit warmer. Regarding "inappropriate" comments on Fotki: I haven't noticed much change, but then I don't get and never have gotten a lot of that kind of stuff. You have many more visitors than I do.......so, proportionately, you probably experience more junk comments. I doubt Fotki removed such things from your site....perhaps the weather is changing and those individuals involved no longer have the time to mess with you. In any case.....don't hold your breath. They'll be back.

Yeah I guess I was being optimistic about fotki wiping them all out. It was just a nice surprise to see them all gone. I didn't delete them this time to save escalating the situation, trying to ignore it, but anyway we'll see what happens. I agree, I'm not going to hold my breath.
good morning. (its morning here) i dont recall ever having that happen. do you mean in your guestbook or on entry photos? i have never gotten nasty comments in my guestbook. i feel left out. lol. dont know why anyone would do that to you. except for maybe one! you are one of the kindest people on fotki. pretty childish if you ask me. take care

Thanks Nana,
No I mean comments on my album photos, pages of them, but just gibberish
yeah ... i've the "rubbish comments" problems before, but not lately. I've deleted them before so unable to check.
Cheers Jack

Thanks Jacko,
I didn't delete them all this time, I didn't want to escalate the "war" so to speak & encourage them even more, but when I got up this morning - they were all gone. I'm still waiting to hear from fotki, but it's the weekend so I probably won't hear for a couple of days.
No I have never had any visits of the kind you refer to----not yet!!!! Sounds like something to be pleased over---not to have had. You must have a fanclub of your own,,,,,lol Great that fotki tries to stop it----it´s a great site

Thanks Anne Marie,
You're right, it is a great site, & brings lots of enjoyment to lots of people.
No Peter, I have never been plagued by these people, but I know that quite a few people have...... glad that they have been removed, and I hope it is permanently. Fotki is a great website, but has its share of problems, and we don't need this. Have a great day...... or night for you? Slainte Myra
Hi Peter, No, no nasty comments at all. Some critical but that is how I like them to be! :) Sorry for you...it is so childish and unbelievable...must be someone with loads of free time. Hope it stops soon mate!!!
======
Ta mate, I must have my own tormentor then !! There's a few who don't like me, but I don't think they'd bother with that sort of nonsense.
Hi Buddy, No have not had a problem with the comments nor, have I had Fotki delete them. Sorry you are getting your pages filled up with rubbish. I guess some people have nothing better to do with their time.
Hi Pete, Are you referring to the Viagra spam ? I get up to 15 album comments containing absolute gibberish but the guest name always contains the word Viagra ! the Fotki folk say they are working some sort of filter to counter this.
=======
ha ha, no I haven't had that one yet. These aren't ads, there's no links with them, & the words are just gibberish like someone just hit random keys on the keyboard by mashing their fists on the keypad.
No Pete ,I haven't had that happen to me ,wasn't even aware that it occurred here ? Oh boy ! Small things amuse small minds I guess ? What an odd thing to do ......hope your weekend is going well ~ Cheers buddy ~ Lynne
Hi Peter Thanks for your visit; always nice to have you visit. I have responded to your comments where necessary. Have just come home from a walk, and although my legs are aching, I am happy. Hope your weekend is going well, I guess you are in Sunday now!!! Slainte Myra
