MODS, ADMIN: ValVan049, PM spammer

25 replies
I couldn't figure out a way to 'report' a PM as spam, so I'm posting it in main discussion to make it known. Mods and Admin, please delete this thread once you are aware of the spammer.

Thank you,
Marcus

      Well, he skipped the Es, thankfully. I certainly don't need to buy backlinks from someone like this. LOL

        LOL..

        It would have been pretty funny to see them offering a back link service to THE backlink warrior ..

        I got the PM too.. and same one yesterday from a different username.

        Peace

      Anyone think limiting PM privileges to Warriors with XX # of posts a good idea to avoid future abuse?

        Or maybe a certain number of PMs allowed in a day or something. I don't know that anyone who wasn't a scammer would need to make dozens of PMs in a day.

        Scott,

        That's a thought, but I wouldn't like to see honest people coming here looking for help, ideas and inspiration have their PM ability blocked. I don't like to see honest people punished for the few wrong doers.

        Surely there's another way to handle this? Come to think of it, I've RARELY had this happen in my time here. Maybe the best bet is just to handle it on a case by case basis like this one. Then again, maybe my experience with this isn't the norm.

        No.

        Put in a captcha in the PM system instead. This will stop the auto spamming systems cold.
