Spam photogroups?

Th Clvr Mnky   October 13, 2009, 11:21 PM

A bunch of similar photogroups have been created recently, and most seem to be a bit on the spammy side.

Example: http://www.23hq.com/photogroup/4997224/

I noticed something similar with many of the new photos showing up on the front page, many of the accounts seem to be spam. Username examples are the following:

angeladinardo2
emmag
breannemackie
janniagregorio
lisacheung
anastasialivcha
ameliafeldman
gianittoli

Is there some official way to report these spam accounts? It's not that them posting pictures really bothers me, but they're taking up space on the front page which keeps me from seeing everyone else's cool new /real/ photos.

I don't think those are spammers but rather an art-class, they all have missgriffin as contact (probably their teacher). But that's just me.

Thanks guys -- we'll keep an eye on it. Probably, Maria will have a look early next week and make an informed decision.

Hmm, a photo class! I hadn't thought of that. It's a good thing I'm not behind the wheel then.

It still looks a little strange, but I understand.
