I just got a few as well. It says something like "take this into consideration" or so.

Sorry everyone. This guy must've been quite thorough. I think this thread has gotten more attention than most on the board, and I got six separate PMs today. *laughs* I indeed killed him, but he had no good stuff to take. Sad

There's not much I can do to prevent this. I apologize to everyone for the inconvenience.

You already have to fill out a capcha to even make an account. So I guess they've got that figured out, I'm afraid.

Spammer's back, this time posting his fake virus warning under Dersterman

Is there any way to moderate new users? Some sites I've been too, the first few messages to the forum have to be moderated and you don't get PM privileges until you've posted to the boards a few times.

Ditto here.
This forum needs some form of decent captcha for signing up to stop this.

They always message me twice in a row and they never post. The private messages are sent out probably soon after registering... Is there a way to disable private messaging for accounts that have never posted to a forum, or would this just create spam threads?

Anyway, I never get PMs from anyone else, just a pair of identical spam messages now and then, so it doesn't irritate me much. At the worst, it summons me back to the OVA forums; how bad can that be? Wink

Looks like anti spam is not working...

EddieTrr messaged me Thu 18 Feb 2010 1:22 & 3:06; joined 16 Feb 2010. Knowing their pattern could reveal their undoing.
