How many of you are getting PM Spam?

Hey everyone,

 

I noticed that in the past few weeks I, and a few other members (the ones that alerted me) have been getting spam messages sent as PM's.

 

I want to apologize if you have received one of these spam messages (most of them are for Russian drugs)

 

I also want to clarify, AVIC411 will NEVER send you spam! This is simply a user exploiting the PM system, and it has nothing to do with myself, or this website.

 

Thank You,

Jason

Not I. (you may want to make this a poll.)

I've gotten four spam PM messages in the last two weeks. Any chance of implementing a type of security code before a user can join, or before they can send a PM?

Yeah sorry about that, the weird thing is that there is a security code when creating an account, as well as email verification. They must be actual people spamming the forum.

Wow, I wish I had nothing better to do with my time! Guess maybe it's time to revoke their membership?
