  • Is anyone else receiving spam through their Forums PM box?

    Lately I have been receiving spam through my PM box here. Never happened before in all the time I've belonged here. I decided to disable the PM function, to try to stop it. Well it did of course, but then I lost the ability to send/receive PMs. Later, I wanted to send a PM so I enabled PM's again and right away got more of the same spam garbage. Often it is offering sites with animal sex.

    I used to have a Yahoo mailbox listed on my Forums profile and I was also receiving an increased amount of porn via Yahoo Mail. Wondering if the two issues were related, I disabled the Yahoo e-mail link on my Forum profile. Amazingly my Yahoo spam was so dramatically reduced that day after day there's no spam anymore. Most of it therefore seemed to be associated with my Forum profile e-mail link.

    It appears to me that there is reason then to believe that some spammer has decided to use the Forum membership list.

    If you are experiencing the same nuisance, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Since there is no access now to my PM or my profile e-mail link you could reply via this thread.

    There has been a recent increase in Spam against the forum.

    You should let me know immediately when this happens to you.
    I will look into it and try and fix it.

      Yes best to tell me about these guys quickly, then I can fix it.
      I can delete all of each users PMs with one click.

      It appears this started about 5 days ago.
      There was only 3 users doing this sending a total of 80 PMs and I only see 3 different messages so you shouldn't have gotten more than 3 or so spams.

      Should be ok to use the PM, it's not like you were being flooded or anything.

      I'm trying to do more to block these guys before they get in.
      Of course the tgirls are probably used to is cause losers come on here and PM them all with stupid crap sometimes.
      Maybe some people liked the animal one, he he he.

        Yes Admin. I did think of notifying you but just was curious if I was alone in being spammed here or if it was a common thing amonst all Forum members with PM enabled. I suppose though I am still concerned about the e-mail spam as the spam on my Yahoo has dried up almost completely since I disabled the profile e-mail access.

        I know you are doing what you can.

        I do appreciate your efforts to weed out the trash here.

          That's why new users have to make 5 posts before they can PM.
          It is pretty hard for them to do that before I catch them.
