apparently the phishing PMers are back.
we have disabled PMs for now and taken action against the offending member id.
DO NOT click on URLs within PMs sent to you by those unknown to you. |
Four days without PMs is not unreasonable.
Most of the spam and phishing posts I've seen here are from "members" with very few posts. Perhaps limiting PMs to spammers/hackers with the energy and dedication to submit 100 posts might be a way to simultaneously annoy and stop bad behavior (behaviour).

It could be.
It could just be that they'd change the loop constant in their spam script from "1" to "100" when writing out "test" messages. |

Then perhaps it's time to include in the PM process technology that display visually warped text, and asks us to type what we see.

I like the warped bit, fits right in with most of us on here
