Scary Spam in my Private Mailbox

Oh thank goodness! I've received two today and was getting a little freaked myself! Both were from the folks mentioned above who have been banned.

Thanks everyone!!

I'm wondering if the settings of the board can be changes so that you have to have a certain number of posts before you can PM?? I know my mommy board is a Vbulletin board and members have to have 10 posts before they can PM. Might be something worth looking into.

I haven't had any here yet thank goodness. I have had two at another forum. Strangely enough it is a forum that I hardly ever go to. I think I have like 20 posts there.....

I guess they just randomly target whomever and don't have any way to base if off of activity....cuz we all know that I spend A LOT of time here.

already got that one :] ty for letting us know!

we are doing what we can to get it under control. very sorry for any inconvenience :[ I know it's annoying.. I'm grr'ing at it all too. Your help is GREATLY appreciated, every time you guys tell us about a spammer (username is a must :] ) -- all the quicker we can eradicate the problem :]
as I said in a different post PLEASE do not click any links etc in pm's you are unsure of. No one at SSD will ever pm you about protecting your computer etc etc. if you receive a message similar to above it is spam and again do NOT click it as this could potentially damage your computer.
