Beer Baron Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 yeah it's a bummer. but to give users some privacy even admins cannot access other users pm box or read or delete pms in there. so it's not easy to combat. common sense is the only weapon you have. so let's use that! if you get a pm from an 'administrator' that signed up 2 days ago, has no admin tag and sends you to a site that ends in .ru then I say think carefully before clicking. for those that don't know if you mouse over a link your browser will display the URL that you're going to in the bottom left corner of your browser window. so you can check without clicking it.

I was smart enough to notice the '0' post count, so just deleted it. Its wierd, this is the only forum i have ever been on that suffers from this amount of spam!

Stephen Thorpe Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Got a PM from Brickerza last night that was titled "Weekend". Inside it suggests that I should click on a link with the words "Do it now!" which was underlined. Of course I didn't do this... This would have taken me to "http://iefa.ru/" Do we need to ban this User?

Phatboy Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Surely there should be a way to implement a general limit on the number of PMs forum users can send per day, especially those with 0 or very few posts. I think 20 PMs/day would be more than enough for everyone but mods/admins.

Agbeard Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Got a PM from Brickerza last night that was titled "Weekend".Inside it suggests that I should click on a link with the words "Do it now!" which was underlined. Of course I didn't do this... This would have taken me to "http://iefa.ru/" Do we need to ban this User? I just got one too with the same link. It's undoubtedly a malware site that will install some horrible rubbish on your computer by merely visiting it. I didn't click it either.

heller44 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 same same. How about a report user button in the pm section, or a way to forward the offending pm to a mod? Just an idea..
