PM's from Spambots / malicious members

Recommended Posts

A few of us have started receiving PM's from either spambots or malicious new members which contain links to very suspicious sites.

These sites are probably some kind of hacking / virus / malware etc attempt to infect your PC.

Please report any dodgy PM's like this from members on this thread, and a Mod or Admin will take action.

Cheers

Ok patch has been applied (cheers phatmonkey !), it should mean that spamming members can not send mass PMs as easily. An upcoming update to the forum as a whole should limit it as much as possible.

IP.Board 3.0.0 contains this update already and new spam mitigation tools such as timed user group promotion. We are also exploring new centralized spam identification and banning services which we hope to have updates for you very soon![/quote]
