As mentioned in our previous post, our developers have already started working on the technical solutions we proposed to reduce the spam/ads and these changes will be going live very soon. We appreciate everyone's desire to rid the website of these spammers and solutions are on their way.
Going forward, all new accounts will go through a review process before the artwork and portfolio goes live to the public. This means that our staff will review all new accounts each day, and delete any spam/advertising related images/accounts before they are even seen by the public. Not only will greatly cut down on the ads that show up on ArtWanted, but we hope that over time it will also discourage these spammers from even creating new accounts on ArtWanted in the first place.
It's a constant battle, but we will continue to put steps in place to get rid of the spammers and commercial accounts that are being created.
