Is any one else getting spam to buy I tunes on this forums PM?

Yes! With annoying regularity.

Fellows,

Neil is aware of this and they're working on it.

The spammers have hit during weekends, when no moderator can fix the problem quickly...

I made mention that other boards of similar design have placed a requirement that users need to make 50 postings before the PM works.

Otherwise, when you are at the inbox, to the left, second link from bottom is buddy/ignore list. Highlight the incomming name & ctrl+c, select the link, second box down paste the name. click on save list. As long as they dont clear the list, those people can not contact you.

I doubt the ignore buton idea will work if the mesages you get are like the ones I get. All the private messags I have received for this Itunes sale gag have been from different user names, never from the same one. If you are geting them from one user name, then it would work.

Plus as soon as the spam they delete thier membership, as far as I can tell. Neil has said that they are working on it. I was curious as there wasn't any body that posted a mention about it. since I think you can only send to 5 names at a time. :rolleyes:
