Getting spam in private messages.

[mlas]

I was wondering, is the best recourse for dealing with spam pms is to just use the report function (the exclamation point at the top of the pm)? I have been getting quite a few of these. Now, I seldom use private messaging so it doesn't really bother me too much, but I wasn't sure if we needed to post the usernames associated with those messages here.

Yes. Please use the report function so the moderator can deal with the SPAMMERS as quickly as possible.

Thanks,

We're always trying to keep ahead of the SPAMMERS. We've added limits so members who have not contributed much (less than 2MB of attachments) are limited to sending only a handful of private messages over a 24 hour period of time. Hopefully this will make a significant difference in the amount of potential PM SPAM without causing to much of an inconvenience to all the "lurkers" or new members who haven't gotten around to posting yet.

Thanks,
Alex

That limit seems to be working well. I haven't had a SPAM message since. Thanks.
