    PM Spam

    Hey everyone,

    Last night we had a PM-Spammer (Mariatctfounds) send out a bunch of Spam messages via PM. Please just delete those messages...the account is now banned.

    We do everything we can to prevent this kind of junk on the forum, but occasionally one gets through. If you see Spam, please report it to the staff as soon as possible...

    Thanks..

    I also noticed they had 0 posts. Anyway to make someone have a minimum # of posts prior to having PM privileges?

    I got the notification of the PM but what was strange was that it was on a different email than I have listed here. My email for Hammock Forums and White Blaze is the same.

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    Yes, but that would not work well. We routinely get valid PM questions from new members about various things. Setting a minimum would prevent that.

    PM notifications simply go to the address you have listed in your profile (which is hidden). There are no other addresses or info stored anywhere.
