Spam

Why and how do i get spam in my private message box?
Does anyone else get this?

[biddenden_sue]

Yes, usually if you get it, then a lot of other members also have.

The mods will automatically ban anyone who sends them spam. Alternatively, you can forward it to them - Foofan or JBond007 are best.

They are currently considering a different notification system. If the forum software will allow it, they will post instructions soon.

You can just delete it. Others will make sure it gets the sender an instant ban!

Surprisingly enough, I've only had one spam message in my inbox since I got here. I'm wondering why other people get it, as I've seen several messages on here about this before.

Sherlock - I'm fairly certain it's because you are so far through the alphabet.

Every time the sender gets to F or J, they get banned!

[sherlockisback]

You know, that makes sense.

Off to create a Z username...

I don't get oodles of spam. But I guess there's 1-3 a month, on average?

But I am a B, so I am likely to get a lot more than you.

I get quite a few too, I should have thought twice about having the number at the beginning of my username
