Hi, I call the spam problem bad as I am the only one who deletes every time the spam. I can tell ya, its only all cliparts from the start page so 24 are affected as he does spam some more then once, there are arround 30 - 35 spam comments a night. Sounds not much, but for deleting them I have to access each clipart page which got one, with the loading time it takes a while. As problem I see more, each comment creates a mail to the owner (if they have marked that) and more the problem I am the only one who deletes them. So if I am not at home, noone will do it and then when I will be back a bigger sum waits for me, and its definitly no fun sitting there for an hour deleting spam. I am definitly not a friend take the comments off but I would like to have a better protection against that spamming, not for me alone as also for the artists who get a mail copy ;) br gnokii 2013/1/5 Jon Phillips <<a href="mailto:jon@fabricatorz.com" target="_blank">jon@fabricatorz.com</a>> <div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">We need to assess how bad the problem is and also how much people are using messaging to get accurate picture.

I personally don't think so. I think communication is more valuable than the space between now and completely revamped code. Perhaps email notification of new messages can be temporarily disabled, if it's becoming an annoyance? Even then, though, users can opt out of receiving those emails directly from their manage profile page.<div> <div><div>On Jan 4, 2013, at 5:54 AM, Jon Phillips <<a href="mailto:jon@fabricatorz.com" target="_blank">jon@fabricatorz.com</a>> wrote:</div> <blockquote type="cite">We need to stop the bleeding first, then fix the problem. <div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 4, 2013 7:35 PM, "Jakub Jankiewicz" <<a href="mailto:jcubic@onet.pl" target="_blank">jcubic@onet.pl</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> This is the same issue as with comments do we need to disable them too? I think that we need to ban users that send spam and have email verification on registration. If that will not help I don't know what will.
