PM spam (Nathan)


I just got a PM spam from Serendipity

Nathan can you enable the 'report' button for PM's and maybe make new members wait until they have some posts under their belt before they're allowed to use the PM function?

Thanks

Re: PM spam (Nathan)


I just looked at the who's online list and he's still pming at this monent. Just a precaution but it's probably advisable not to click on any of the links in his Pms - They may be malicious.

I'm reporting this post (my own) to alert a moderator/admin.

Re: PM spam (Nathan)


Well that's more than 2 hours since I reported this - Moderators have been on the forum and done nothing, Nathan has been on and done nothing and looking at the who's online list, the guy is still pm'ing at the time of posting this and half of the members online are checking thier pm's.

I guess by the time anyone notices this post the spammer will have gotten through the whole membership list.

Re: PM spam (Nathan)


It's a spambot. Wouldn't it make more sense to ban it - Especially as it's still PMing right now?

Sorry about that, looks like a spambot. I deleted the messages and banned his account.
