Spamming As A PM? - Diesel Forum

390pony · 10-22-2003, 10:55 PM

What's with receiving spam from soniclibra as a private message on this forum? Did this happen to anyone else? The spammer should be immediately banned! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Ain't happend to me..

My guess is soniclibra is a new member who signed up as a lark.

Nope, haven't been spammed . . yet. Got a death threat once tho [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, he doesn't have any posts yet. I personally feel that all spammers are among the lowest of lifeforms.

rheaman · 10-23-2003, 01:05 AM

Seeings how you have been spammed an all. Is there a limit to how many pm's you can receive? Does the pm'er fill up?

I don't send or receive very many pm's and never save them. Maybe you or somebody else knows.

I don't get very many here, but on the Vintage Mustang Forum I have had about 30-40 until I cleaned the box out. I don't think there's a limit.

Geeez, If it isn't body part enlargement/ performance enhancement, it webhosting! Might want to edit out the links, (leave the email, for the spam bots though [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img] ) so google doesn't count them towards it's popularity rating. Lowlife spammers deserve to stay at the bottom of the heap.

That's the one! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

That's a first for us. I banned the user and the e-mail address.

OK. Not that anybody here would be dumb enough to click them, but I removed them anyway. I left the clear text email though in hopes some email address harvesting program reads this thread. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] - Mel
