How do we handle spam pm's? I tried to use the "report" link but for some reason it didn't go through.
The member's name was "obaphab" who pm'd me with a link to his web site about how to read minds. :crazy:

Figured I'd say something in the open so others could be warned.

I got it to and reported it.

It went through for me.

My report went in, too. I'm sure Dan will handle it.

No need. I read your mind.

Ok cool. So I wasn't crazy, it was spam. Maybe my script blocker interfered or something.
Thanks for the feedback you all. :)

Me too. Couldn't report it.

How do I delete it from my PM box? I can't seem to delete a single message.

Hope it gets sorted soon.

I apologize to those who were unable to report the spammer. For future reference, you can PM or email me.

I've banned the user using the Spam-O-Matic plugin and it said it deleted 84 PMs. Please check your inbox and if his message is still there I will switch the PM system back to the original style so users can delete it.

I can only delete individual PMs in the Tapatalk app not when on a PC.

Just got one, still not sure how to report it, as I checked 'report' and nothing seems to happen. Oh, wait...it's a 'visitor message.' Whole different game?
