    All,
    It would appear that Fanny2020 is a Spammer, could we please get a ban.
    I just one of those sappy so and so got killed and now i want to transfer millions of dollars into your account, yadda, yadda, yadda. type emails
    Justin, is there a way to make private messageing part of the online system so we can remove email addressses so this doesnt happen more in the future?
    Thanks

    He/she has been banned.

    No where in the forum is your email address posted. (If it is, please tell me... as you found a bug) The only way someone is sending email is to manually go though the PM forms system. Which is a slow(therefore expensive) manual process for spammers... They might do a handful then give up. That's why some of us (I didn't for example) get spammed, and some do not.

    There is nothing I can programmatically do to defeat a human spammer and still leave the system open for our users...

    I am unwilling to remove the PM system from this forum. I think it is an integral part of the experience. We've had three spammers in the past year. That's really really good for a forum with the amount of traffic this one has.

    Alright thats cool, just thought I would throw it out there. They must be getting pretty desprate if they are doing it manually these days.

    I got picked on too. But I just deleted it, as I had already read the topic before going to my email.

    The board proves useful yet again!
