Thank you. Forum member.

when i follow the link, my antivirus block the page

Me too

Same here! Got a pm yesterday or the day before in russian I did not understand. Considered that as spam too

As a matter of fact, there is a lot of spammers around these days.
I am trying to discover and ban them almost every day, but I can't be here 24/7.
And as I can't read your private messages (nor would I ever want to), there's nothing I can do against idiots of that kind.

@ Prog

It's time again...
Repeating myself is not funny.

Please think about more protection.
The spam situation is getting worse here day by day.
And please consider keeping all the crawlers and bots out of this board, including the big ones, google, yahoo, MS whatsoever...
Those may be welcome on your software related pages, also for ads purposes, but for sure, they don't have to read all our postings here on the board.
Most spammers try to achieve search engine rankings, as they are getting paid for those in the end. So better block them here on the board / sub domain. Or at least hide the member list from public, because guests don't have any right to look inside, from my point of view.

Private message spam in fact is quite new and terrible.
This MUST stop NOW.


Regards

Jürgen

I try change version of forum in near 3 weeks.

Hummannic is a spammer too with same message.
i suggest finding out his ip and then we all go round to his house and cut his fingers off.
yes?

Please send me this message and spammer name

Removed two of that idiots a minute ago.

The IPs of spammers don't really help, as they change frequently and often are invalid.

Anyway, the sys admin should add some limitations, like no PM beyond a given numbers of postings and / or before a minimum membership time was reached. And of course mass messages must be admin only.
Don't forget to hide the member list from noobs and guests...
