Hey Warriors!

Today I got some spam and it struck me as very odd and I'm wondering how many others got the same thing...

Okay here is what I got...

Subject: Rxxx Rxxxxxx's new "name of WSO" just launched...

Hi Coby,

Just to let you know that the WSO titled "Rxxx Rxxxxxx Reveals The Exact Secrets Of How xx In xxx..." has just been launched!

Thought for SURE you'd want to know!

Rxbxx Jxxxex

(link to wso was here)



So, I quoted the very last part "Thought for sure you'd want to know" and asked "and why did you think that?"

The reply was "you posted in a thread of Rxxx Rxxxxxx and I thought you'd like to know"


Why is a relatively new member with just enough posts to send PM's spamming me with someone's WSO thread link? How many others got this?

What do you think about this?

    I haven't got this particular one, but I have got this in the past.

    If you aren't happy with the 2000+ people viewing the WSO forum you should create a better sales-copy, or a better product, not spam people PMs.

    These people don't know how business is done...

    The Warrior Forum doesn't allow PM spam. Report the message and the spammer will be dealt with, probably with a little vacation.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    Yeah I do get this kind of message every now and then, just ignore it or report as they said. They are desperate for sales thats all.

    I got that same exact PM. I thought it was kinda weird since I didn't even know who the person that sent it to me.

    I don't like getting these pm's... it's the equivalent of a double glazing sales man interrupting you in the middle of an episode of MacGyver.

      Exactly. PM spam is not tolerated here. I have reported several violations myself, and will continue to do so.

      I would suspect that with 16 posts PM spam is not an issue for you (yet).

        It's not a problem to simple disable PM, right?

      Same little red triangle that can be used to report posts appears on PMs, I think.

      If it's someone new here who seems to be running a reasonably serious business I would probably pm them to say "promotion by PM is not allowed here".

      I'm quick to report anyone abusing this forum but sometimes people don't mean to do something wrong. I use my own judgment.

    I get those kinds of emails too.
    And I consider them as down-right annoying spam.
