PM spammer
PM spammer
I have never seen this trick before. I received a spam PM today (attached) from this user: http://www.mepislovers.org/member.php?u=13754. There is no report as spam button for PMs as there is for posts, so this is the only way I can think of reporting it.
Production: 5.10, MX-23 Xfce, AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core, GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2, 16 GB, SSD 120 GB, Data 1TB
Personal: Lenovo X1 Carbon with MX-23 Fluxbox and Windows 10
Other: Raspberry Pi 5 with MX-23 Xfce Raspberry Pi Respin

Thanks for the report.
We are trying to be aggressive catching spammers as they register but some slither through.
I and others have received PM spam from time to time. Report it as you have and one of the admins or supermods will ban the spammer.

It is an uphill battle. I would not say we are winning, just keeping them at bay.
