Spam Private Messages

Not sure how to handle this, was trying to find an admin to send it to directly, but maybe you can help me.

I am receiving spam private messages from a user.

Every 5 minutes this person is sending me a message about another forum. Is there a way I can ban this user from sending me messages or get their message privileges revoked or something?

This is the person sending me the messages: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/member.php?u=9036

Thanks.

I've reported him via one of his posts.

ok. thanks. :)

I reported him too. What's odd is he sent me something a month ago which i ignored but then again last night.

For the future, momtohanna, the way to report spam directly to the forum admin is to click the little red triangle in the bottom left.

there wasn't a place to click on a private message, i just forwarded mine to Administrator.

I got it too, but just ignored it.

Yep, I've been getting the same private messages from him as well, asking me to join his forum and 'Tweet' about it to promote it for him. Pffft.

He's just mass pm'ing us all multiple times- enough already.

I actually looked at the forum. No, did not click on the link; just went there myself. Looks like a legit forum. I just don't need another one.

I suspect we're all getting them. I forwarded on to Susan and Snap to ask if they had heard of him. I haven't heard anything, but I suspect Susan is in communication with him.

I don't understand the need to use a private message about the forum. It appears to be a legit forum, but I would prefer he didn't use PM to promote it to complete strangers on another forum. It just feels sneaky.

I got one too. I too wouldn't mind a single post to the general discussion, letting us know its new and there if we are interested, but I don't appreciate the PMs.

yep, i got one too.

Checked on his posts. So he posted five times. Also went on to his web site. It's legit.

But politetly told him not interested. Soo everyone's gotten a spam PM from him. :mad:

I guess we wont be hearing from him anytime soon. I think mine came about 3-5days ago.

yeah... i was gonna start a thread asking about that.. i got 2 or 3 messages from this guy.

well.. he must have alot of time on his hands if he's PMing everyone. maybe he needs to ride more...:D

Oh, so it wasn't a special invite to a secret society. I'm all bummed now. I thought I was special. :(

Yeah, if it's a legit site, then a one-time general post would have been OK. Better yet, perhaps that person could have made some genuine contributions to this site and link to his/her forum in the signature line. Plenty of people would have clicked through.

But, now, I don't think I'll ever visit. I don't want to reward scummy, spammy behavior. Tsk tsk.
