    Spam PM's again

    Please do not open a PM from a member called serkkan870

    It is spam!

    Do not click on the link in the PM they sent and just delete it immediately.

    Thanks

    Alex isn't here to mass delete the PM's and I can't do it so I hope people read this before opening their PM.

    Re: Spam PM's again

    I have put some changes in place to try and limit this.

    Members can only PM 2 members at any one time and need to wait 1 minute between PM's.

    This should help us with these spammers that have loads of time on their hands it seems!

    When you say spam are you referring to viruses too or just ads and other content?

    I think it's wise for everyone to invest in a decent Antivirus program/link scanner if they can. It's a shame that people are sad and low enough to target sites like these and others with such s***. Makes me very angry. Perhaps you could stop new members sending PMs until they've posted 5-10 times.
