Hey guys,
For the last several months I've been logging in several times every day (except for when I've not been able to, for instance when I'm working, or at the race track). One of my jobs on the forum is to make sure we don't have any bodgey users join us.
Let me define that clearly: a "bodgey user" is someone whose sole purpose is to send spam to other members. Every now and again one of these drongos will post a big BS post on one of the threads with a bunch of links and it gets quarantined automatically - they've wasted their time - and I ban them before they can do any more damage.
However, what I cannot see (without going through everyone's individual user page for visitor messages) is if they're spamming YOUR page. If they send you a PM, I don't even have a mechanism to see it unless you report it.
So, here's the trick - if you're getting any spam at all, just report it. I'll get a message about it, I'll jump on as soon as I can and will deal with the matter.
