    If you get a PM with links, don’t click on them.

    I think new member DennieeAdamz is a spammer.

    I just got a PM from this guy. I never click on a link that someone I don’t know sends me. I need to PM Carl to find out if he knows about this.

    I have a private message from a spammer. It actually threatens to send abusive mail to my ISP if I don’t follow their thread…

    Check it out, I will delete it later..

    Got a pm today from Dennie. Did not send read receipt, did not follow links, and deleted message.

    I nuked her and cleaned up all the PM’s. Sorry about that. I review each new member, but unfortunately I miss a few.

    I got a couple from them, but was afraid to forward to you…so I just deleted them. How can they get access to our PM when they aren’t even a member yet?

    We have solved that problem. Pending members are seen as banned, but this one I actually let in. From the records when I banned and cleaned up the file, there were 1172 PM’s sent by that individual, and they were a registered member for less than an hour!!!

    Unfortunately I only have member names and e-mail addresses to review, so sometimes I let one in. Rest assured I delete at least 20 to every one I let in. It requires time either way, but I’m trying to make it as comfortable for members as I can, without discriminating against people just on their choice of member names.
