For those of you that wish added protection you can always edit your options in your "User CP" under Edit Options / Messaging and Notification / Private Messaging to only allow Contacts and Moderators to PM you. This will allow only the moderators and the members that you have approved or contacted via Friendship Requests the ability to PM you.

Said spammer has been at it for over an hour. Probably has sent over 500 PMs by this time.

Maybe there needs to be some sort of "after hours" monitor.

Both have been banned. This topic is in Admin Discussion for possible solutions.

The frequency and quantity should be greatly reduced now. If you continue to get them, let us know and we'll zap 'em!
