Pm spammer
 
Members,
Your Admins and Moderators are aware of the current rash of spammers. This happens from time to time and all we can do is to try to keep up with it and wait for the SPAMMER to get tired and go elsewhere.
DO NOT reply to the message.
DO NOT click on any links provided.
DO continue to report them as you find them.
DO delete the PM from your list AFTER reporting it. We don't need the PM, only the SPAMMERS User Name.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation, and rest assured this round will not last long.The Management

Yeah, I got a PM from "**********" asking me to go to a tinyurl site and "register," then view nude pics of her.

Yes,we know. This one has created roughly 10 new accounts, has sent roughly 30 PM's that we know of so far, and is so stupid they're even sending them out to the moderators. Not a bright move.
Just follow my instructions above and ride it out. They always get tired of it, especially if no one replies, and they will go away..

We were able to ban 149 accounts -- 26 were registered, 3 were pending email activation and the rest were all in moderation. As a result of the 26 registered bots, 36,105 PMs were sent out and have since been deleted. Please keep us posted for any complaints/concerns that may arise.

Much appreciated,

IB Woo
