We understand that our platform should be a place where creativity thrives without the distractions of spam or scams. Recently, we’ve seen an increase in spam comments trying to direct users to external platforms like Telegram. We know how disruptive this can be and want to assure you that resolving this issue is a top priority for us.

What We’ve Done So Far

• Fixed a bug where blocked users’ comments no longer trigger notifications.
• Ensured that when you block a user, their comments on your photos are hidden from everyone.
• Enabled faster removal of reported comments by our moderators.
• Implemented automatic hiding of comments.

What We’re Working On (Target: This Month)

• Implementing a more advanced system to automatically detect and hide potential spam comments, minimizing the need for community reporting.

We encourage you to report any suspicious comments. We are committed to making 500px a safe and inspiring space for all photographers.

Thank you for your patience and continued support as we work to resolve this issue.
