Someone spamming image sections

Hello there.

I was looking at adding images to something and noticed a erroneous image of Vanessa Hudgens on the title.

See here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31492684/mediaviewer/rm585516801/

So then I did a mini search on related titles, and found someone had spammed galleries with false tags for Hudgens and others added too like Ben Stiller & Tim Heidecker on episodes/images they are not in), images of movie posters featuring her on unrelated titles. See this gallery (8 false tags, 12 spam Hudgens posters/images): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13728798/mediaindex?refine=nm1227814

This episode has an image of Hudgens from a Bear Grylls show of the primary image and a pic of some rando on there too, that might actually be a selfie of the perpetrator because it's nothing to do with the series either: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13109718/

Seems a fair few more around but you'd have to investigate the contributor doing it to see how much more there is and remove it all.

Thanks.

Hi @VonPunk -

I have found the responsible user and took actions on their account, I have also deleted as much tags/images that I could find. Please do let me know if there are any left, changes I made should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Thank you, that's greatly appreciated. I did find a 20 to 30 more false tags but I submitted my own deletions, most have been approved but here's a few still pending, in case you want to look into them.

I'll of course do some more gallery patrolling later and delete anything else amiss.
Thanks again.
