Hi y'all,
I've been having some trouble recently with a growing number of fake flickr 'faves' issued at random from accounts - bots? Sock puppets? - with female names. Some of them feature mildly erotic shots of young women, others don't even have any pics at all, but all of them try to lure the viewer to some nude photos obviously linked to erotic pay sites.
Initially I just ignored them, but those 'faves' have multiplied in recent times -- only today I received 99 faves from presumably non-existent persons -- and are getting to be a real nuisance, so I started blocking the accounts in question and reporting them to flickr. However, I somehow have the feeling that these measures have not contributed anything to stemming the steady flow of unwanted 'admirers' of my mediocre output as a hobby photographer...
Have you guys out there made similar experiences?
cheers
Michael
