Great drop! 

I can't DM you, but can you delete people who are spamming us with links? 

Yeah we’ve seen some bot attacks lately but we were thinking they’re specific to Russia. Which country are you in Spicehorn? 

I'm in Australia. 

We've now taken action against the spamming bot - they should be under control for now. The spammy links and the accounts posting them are being cleaned out atm. 

Awesome, love your work, Thanks! 

I’d like to know how they can post on my photos all week long??? I only allow followers? It’s so irritating!! What can I do about it? Please tell me!!! 

Wifey - they're using a variety of approaches to look increasingly like legitimate users. We've just deployed some changes that will stop them from posting to your content if you're in anything other than fully public mode. So if you only allow comments from your followers, it should stop. We're also exploring some other measures we can put in place for the long term that will better protect the community. 

We've also got background processes running to clean out the spam comments 

Excellent! Now how about a block button/feature?! 

Unlikely we’ll bring a block feature in because of how some will misuse it. But a report user (rather than post) is more on the cards. 

That would be perfect also. 👌🏻
