Quite a few seem to have done. It's definitely spam (the link apparently takes you to a viagra for sale site, there may also be adware stuff too) so DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK.

Better yet, just don't open the thing at all if it's from someone you don't know.

(But if it's gay porn, chances are it's from dst.)

I got one from someone called mignulikz, don't know if anyone else got the same?

I did. Thought it was odd - the message was just a link saying "Please help". I hovered over it to see what the link was, but didn't click on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Went on his/her profile & it said they'd registered yesterday, hadn't posted & was from Afghanistan! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) A few other members had visited too - hope they didn't click on the link either... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Checked the new posts in My Assistant (which was already open from the PM alert) & found this thread.

I'm afraid I can't do that. You've missed your chance...

There's a new one today: muzrinkl is also sending spam pms with links to a russian site. User has been banned and, as before, probably not a good idea to click on the link.

The douchebag just sent me one this morning saying "funny picture" and other crap. Didn't open it, of course.

Why he hasn't been banned yet is another question.

See above, Miz. He has. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I don't have the authority to do IP bans (only m1ke can do that), but as soon as I or the other mods are made aware of the spammers, they're banned.

Didafan didn't notice that part. Maybe she needs glasses. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Jurdreda has been banned. Needless to say, the 'new forum rules' link is not to new forum rules but to one of those spam sites.

Sorry for all this, guys. We're catching 'em as we see 'em but there's not a lot more we can do at this point.

The last one is...more intelligent. I mean, the message.

The Spambots seem to have returned, sadly. If you get a spam PM please let me or another moderator know ASAP.

Got one the other day...
Since I'm not on as often as I used to be, I wasn't aware of the spamming issue (and the issue in this 'bot' thread)
I just deleted the message promptly not taking into account the name of the user though... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

On the up side I haven't gotten any since (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)
