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.

Jerry,

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.

I got a PM too from the same spammer.

I had one over last weekend, they had already been banned by the time I found it, so Rich it appears you all are doing a good job getting rid of them.
Thanks,
Wayne

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

perhaps a feature request should be sent to the forum software devs asking for some sort of forum user controlled PM spam control?

We are currently looking at options.

given the history of the forum mod efforts i should have realized that would be a given!

"to be aggressive" means what ?
