You've made about 600 posts in 6 or 7 years (counting the old forums too) so come around more. If the spammers don't get you I know a few people who would be happy to help. Tongue

I've had enough of these PMs from guest members. Lets keep it to a minimum by disallowing users to register and post without approval. I've come back to a couple PMs regarding myself having viruses on my computer as if I don't really take care of it at all. What an insult..

That said, I've temporarily put registration on staff approval since we had another PM spam problem today. Any new members shouldn't have to wait long, as both admins are notified by email.



=D

Also, they aren't guest members, they just show up as guests because I deleted their accounts.

They don't bother me that much. The only way it bugs me is because I get an email every time someone sends me a PM. Otherwise I just delete it and it was like it's never there.

My case is the same as Misika's (and probably a few others). I noticed the pattern so didn't pay attention to it (knowing it's probably the message ITSELF with the virus =/) Good to know you guys notice this too =].

I wonder why so many members get this?

I think what spammers like that do is they register then PM everyone they can from the member list so pretty much everyone on the forum gets it.
