Quote - Okay EBOT spam
Got a message saying someone had someone had commented on a 3D render in my Daz Studio Gallery, 3 minutes later one spam, another 3 minutes later another spam
So in the space of 6 minutes two spams. Ebots definately.
Question for you Stacey are the ebots for gallery and newsletter on a different server or are they on the same one with all the email addresses?This spam test has finished, dont know what else I can do, as I am in Australia and you guys are asleep it woudl be interesting to see if you could trace at the times I posted this message if you saw unusually behaviour for the ebots server.

I made 2 separate purchased in the MP a few hours ago. I got 4 ebots from Renderosity confirming the orders and acknowledging payment received. I did not receive any spam.
I also got a notification yesterday that j-art had uploaded an image to his gallery. No spam received.
As I stated previously, I do not get bots about forum posts.
The last newsletter I received from here was on the 19th and I didn't pay attention as to whether I got spam around that time or not. I'll pay closer attention when the next newsletter comes.
However, now that you have mentioned the spam corresponding with the ebots notifying you of comments to your gallery images, I can say that my spam was at an all time high while I was in the "Critique Group" and getting lots of notifications of comments made to my images. Looking back, my spam has decreased considerably since I left the critique group, plus the fact that I haven't uploaded any images in several weeks so I haven't had a comment in my gallery for a while and I haven't received any spam either.
So maybe there is something to the gallery comments theory.
I'll pay closer attention the next time someone posts a comment in my gallery and let you know if I got spam along with the comment.

angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
