I got spam PMed to me.


Has this happened to anyone else?


The pop ups on this site are really irritating and persistant, but this was a first for me.

I got it as well.

Brett,

I'm in town today and can't access the AdminCP. Please ban the user and then go to admin2 and ban the IP as well.

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. It's just part of the interet paradigm we all must put up with.

Neither of those usernames are in the database.

Anybody else know who it was?

I got it.
I clicked on it.
I regreted it.
I clicked on it again.
I regreted it again.
I prayed for forgivness.
I took a shower.
I still feel dirty.

Yea, I was home this time Brent and all over him within half an hour. User deleted and IP banned.

Sorry about that!

I haven't been on for awhile and I've noticed I had the message also but the member was deleted. I erased the message.

Yea...I banned two more IPs this morning.

I'm really sorry about this guys. All I can do is keep banning IPs until this particular cell of spammers runs out of different proxies they can use to hit us with.

No doubt you're doing a great job with it. The member is always deleted by the time I get on here, so it's more of me just venting over how many losers like this there are on this planet.
cjs206
Apparently its a known issue to IPB, so hopefully it'll get sorted sooner rather than later.

I don't think deleting the members is working, I've got 3 in the past week, and before this I never had gotten one. I don't know a whole lot about computers but maybe a security question/code kind of thing could come up whenever you try to make an account and/or send a message...i don't know

Well, we haven't had any the past three mornings, and I think it may be working. I've banned 3 IPs, all from the same part of the world (Russia) and they may have no more to use to hit us with.

LOL...

Obviously, the KGB hates it that we get Pro Day results faster than the NFL does.
