PM Spammers

[Stable-Man]

I got a message from Stephanie, searched the url online, and it came up on a bunch of different forums. Too bad cuz it’s nice getting PMs sometimes….

[Carl Russell]

Thanx, I nuked her today. Sorry about that, Carl

Wow Carl – I had no idea that the spamming was that rampant. I’m sorry that you have to spend so much effort cleaning up this junk. I can’t say this strongly enough and think I speak for many when I say, “thank you Carl, I (we) appreciate all that you do for this community.”

Thanks Geoff, This Stephanie had over 1000 private messages on her profile. Thank goodness I can ban and clean all in one fell swoop.

Thanx again, Carl

Came to the site, but have no PM in my inbox.
So I suspect I’m getting spam that says I’m spamming.
Not.:cool:

I have recieved two emails the same as the one posted above but nothing in my private messages. This must be a spammer. Please check it out Carl. Thanks, Murray

Yeah, I got something similiar to that today.

I was all excited because I’m not online here that much anymore and figuring that it was Easter, somebody was wishing me a happy holiday!

But, instead it was spam.

I got this too. I deleted it.

I nuked a PM spammer today who had sent over 1300 private messages. When I nuke’em like that the PM’s get erased from your in-boxes, and apparently you get a notice to let you know that I robbed it from you.

Double sorry.

Carl

[Robert MoonShadow]

Wow. I didn’t get the spam OR an email notice it’d been nuked…

I feel so left out.

🙁

*It’s kinda bad when even the spammers don’t wanna talk wit’ you*
:p

I’ve got three old ones in my in box that I’ve never opened, from LadyXAdmin, GooDFriend and Gurrergearrox.
