Private message spam

[Sirisian]

not sure where to put this, but this thread seems the best since there is no way to contact a mod atm. I got spam from a user named turing. Not sure why, I recommend putting a must have 20 or more posts to PM kind of system enabled.

Can you forward me the message he sent you?

[Sirisian]

no I deleted it. It was, "Greetings!" Then it entered down two lines to a bunch of spam, not links just spam like some web spider pasted what it was looking at at the moment. It was really random stuff. Not really important.

I noticed its like a plague hitting every forum.

Here is the message:


Hello,
I'm new here and just wanted to say "hi"

How's it going?

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein

Got the same one, just to confirm.

I got it too. Not really sure if there's anything we can do about it. It's not much more than a minor inconvenience. Be sure to let us know when you get these so we can ban.

... i think what Sirisian was asking for is a 10 post count before PM's can be sent to keep away bots and the like (humans get them past the logins then the robots attack... its a bad day when humans help the enemy).

i got it as well.
Just letting you know
