I've started getting spam through the PM system on this forum. Has anyone else had the pleaser of any yet? And is there a way to disable the users from sending pm if they have a post count or 0?

The PM I got this time was from Kkid.

I got the same earlier too. We need the spam user removal mod installed. Wasn't it promised some time ago Josh?

Seems that the most active members of the forum got the message. The spammer probably looked at the total number of posts or something similar. This account did not get the spam.

@AbyssUnderground,

Yes but we're waiting on Aprelium to install them. I hope it's soon.

Ditto that.

I think the PHP Freaks forum had a restriction on PMs. I think it would be wise to not allow PMs unless the user had at least a certain number of posts. 5 seems to be a legitimate number.
