Spam photo


There is a spam photo in the Digital Darkroom category called "Vanguard tripods" by Optics4 Birding. I tried to report it using the "report this photo" link but got an error.

  More spam. A teeth photo advertising a dental office has been uploaded. The "photographer" doesn't seem to even have a gallery. Don't people have to be a paid member in order to upload pictures and enter the contest?

Got an error message when I clicked report this image.

  Just saw it - reminded me of Melodie's monthly entry on TKW Day. Not that long ago there was a free contest-only membership option with a limit of 30 photos per month. Don't know if that's still in effect, but if it is, this kind of thing would be easy peasy. I don't advise clicking on the photo or "member" name, though.

  I hear you Monnie. I hesitated about clicking to open the photo but I was curious to see if maybe it was a legitimate entry. Then I wondered if this person had real pictures in a gallery and this one was for a before and after BP class.

I won't do that again.
