Private message from a very new user? SPAM?

[Dunhill_BKK]

G'day I've just gotten a PM from a very new user, who has very recently joined and never posted.

Hi PM is very generic, not related to gaming at all, and contains an odd pseudo-religious quote. There is also a link in his post, and I'm thinking this looks very much like a form of spam.

Just an FYI for what may become a problem..I didn't know who to forward the message to. I don't want to bother hard-working game designers with SPAM.

I guess when you forward that PM to Rafiki, he will take care of the issue.

Definitely spam.
This can nowadays unfortunately happen in any forum

The SPAM Patrol is on duty 24/7. Basically, someone hits the Report Post function and emails go out to the Admins. Kind of interesting concept actually, when you think about it: Non-SPAM emails which are, in fact, about SPAM. Then, whoever gets to it zaps the account/messages. This is a single operation, but there is no operation that include PMs as well.

I did nuke one account last night, but I cannot even recall the ID this morning.

Thanks for the notofication, Dunhill. This user no longer enjoys posting privileges here.

Not soon enough if you ask me, but I *really* hate spammers
