Implement recaptcha in the marketplace comments (or a comments moderation feature).
--
There's often spam in the comments in the marketplace.
I'm quite sure since I get those spam comments almost daily under all my addons.
I already notified the opencart's support and suggested to use recaptcha or a similar solution to avoid the problem.
The spammers are still pestering the comments area.
Yes, there's a prolific spammer in the marketplace right now. They're banning the accounts and removing the comments, but seem unable to find a way to ban the person altogether. Hopefully they'll get that sorted, otherwise this could become a huge issue further down the road.
We just became victims in our comments sections on this, too. And when we tried to warn another marketplace vendor about this spammer, because his software was illegally sold by the spammer, our own OpenCart account got suspended, triggered by a certain keyword. So for the time being, we are unable to sell our extensions through the OpenCart marketplace.Johnathan wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 9:55 pmYes, there's a prolific spammer in the marketplace right now.

I really hope that OpenCart will sort this out!

Several months later, and this issue still hasn't been resolved on the OC marketplace comments section, see this forum thread. The spammer changes his user name almost on a daily basis, and when adding a comment, there is no anti-spambot protection whatsoever!
Also, what I don't understand, the spammer also sells a lot of stolen OpenCart extensions, why do extension authors don't care?

I confirm that after an year the spammers are still pestering the marketplace comments area. I receive tons of notification emails regarding those spam comments even if they get removed (automatically?).
I'm a bit frustrated of receiving all that garbage.

Yes, it can be frustrating. The sad story is that loads of OpenCart extension authors are affected by it, because this spammer sells their stolen software, but these OpenCart extension authors don't seem to care!

Hi
It seems they added a moderation system to the marketplace review section.
Today someone asked for help by writing a review on one of my extension pages, I replied his review, But my reply is not approved yet.
