Spam?

[doglegdon]

Just received a PM from a certain "Jessie" this afternoon:-

Hi,I'm new here, how's it going?"Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives." - Louise Hay---XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Have deleted it from my inbox immediately.

[Kymmy]

Yep, Jessie has been dealt with and removed from the forum. Thanks for your report Don..I've also edited out the URL otherwise you're just doing her job for her

If people do get PM's they think is SPAM you can now report PM's to the mods/admins via the REPORT PM icon found at the top right of the PM, this is a new feature recently implemented with VB. Though as this spammer is dealt with already please do not report JESSIE's messages

Just logged on and thought - who's that?.
Then realised it was spam. You guys are fast

[StumpyFingers]

Same here, Spammers deserve shooting.

Same here. I noticed that 'Jessie' was a Guest. Can Guests be prevented from looking at the 'users visited this site today' statistics and prevent user_ids from being in the public domain. I have deleted the spam.

Damn spam...

Thought somebody actually cared for a second or two...

[Kymmy]

Jesse is only a guest as her account has been DELETED Unfortunately we can only delete her posts to the forums and not her already sent PM's

So the best thing to do is consign to PM to the file marked B for Bin

Thank you for the PM's I received over this.
I was away and Kymmy did the necessary very quickly.
I've tweaked the settings to throttle the number of PM's to 3 every 5 mins, which should be fine for normal use, but not for a spammer, so hopefully this should help.

I got this too and immediately ignored it and deleted, Not too clever this spammer!
Paol.

Yes my apologies for this.
Have tightened the system a tad and hopefully we won't get bothered now.
