Is anybody else getting a heap of sex related spam in their inbox?

Does this site not have a spam filter, or some way to stop this spam?

Hi JJ - so far as I know we're not seeing spam in PM's.

Oh, I believe you.. I'm just saying nobody else has reported it.

If you can, PM me a list of users who have spammed you - I'll have a look at them.

Otherwise, I'm going to have to kick this upstairs... Brad!!! Need a little help, Mr Wizard....


Cheers

Hi Patsy - did you mean you had a PM (Personal mail) sent by immivMI? One other member was receiving Spam PM's, but that seems to have stopped.

You can easily delete Spam messages sent to your PM account, but you can't delete posts to the Forum. That's done by Moderators or Admin. The unfortunate reality is that the Spammers work 24/7, but the moderators don't, so there is always the chance you will get to a spam before we do.

A good way to avoid it is to look at the name of the poster - if it's gibberish, like immivMI and there are no replies, it's probably spam. That's what I look for when I'm going through deleting it.

Cheers
