Unsolicited PMs

[Monkey boy UK]

Morning guys, wondered how many of you guys are bothered with unsolicted PMs in your R8Talk inbox trying to sell you stuff or services? heres the latest from a Patricia, junior member, never made any posts;

Hey,
I'm new here, how's it going?

"The most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently" - Pema Chodron

A web site address was also posted but not copied that, people like this are a pain in the ar*e

Just reply with:

"Thanks for getting in touch, I've been aching for someone like you to come into my life. How about getting down and filthy - I'm talking seriously mucky, roly poly? Discretion assured. You show me yours and I'll show you mine"

Always works!

I tried a nasty reply and it does not work. They set their account to not receive PM's. I used the "report abuse" feature.

That's a search engine optimization spammer, most likely someone in India. They're not interested in communicating with you -- just in getting their current customer's web site out there. Report the spammer to the admins and get their account banned.

SEO spammers are a staggering problem. To get a sense for the scope, check out Stop Forum Spam at www.stopforumspam.com. I use an automated tool to check each new registration at a forum I run against that site's database and, as a result, ban almost all forum spammers before they complete their registration. Admins, I'm happy to share that with you if you'd like -- PM me for details.
