so here is what i received..

 

 

Hello!

i wuz browsing 'round this site, and i noticed ur lil' site. You look like you're a noticeably interesting person, but I'm really inexperienced at how things work here, and dont know what's going on around here. Shouldn't they have some sort of chat here? I h8 writing messages to people, and sometimes not receiving anything back. Anyways, if you wanna chattin' with me, u can catch me over @ date-jump.org?id=3587 , my name there is chill_chick.

So, ya, hope to chat with you. always lookin' to meet more people.

I'm clean, you must have shared your E-mail address with a website that doesn't have a privacy statement(or a rare case of not following their statement).

Ok, what exactly does that have to do with the internal PM system of MMORPG.com where the person has to sign up for an account before they can PM you?

BTW, I got one too.

Asheron's Call. The one open world, classless progression, live team content oriented game that ALL game sites and developers show little respect for as a template to pattern future MMOs after.

It's some internet dating site, this same message (besides the names) have been used on multiple sites over the last month. Looks like they are just getting around to this one.

I got the same crap.

 

This site needs to make a change where you have to have 10 posts before you can send a PM, that would slow down the spamming.

No it wouldn't. Ten posts would take no more than six minutes to make and that is with the 30 seconds between posts limit here. It would also increase the garbage to content ratio.

Here is what I got it's almost identical to the OP.

 

hola,

i was browsin 'round here, and I stumbled upon your profile. You seem to be a rather cool dude, but I'm somewhat new on this site, & don't really know my way around here. Don't they have some sort of chat thing here?? Well, i can't stand sending msgs 2 ppl, and sometimes never receiving a responce! Well, if u are interested in talkin' with me, u could catch me over @ date-bucket.org?id=3587 , my name there is sporty_chickadee.

So, ya, hope to see you. I'm always lookin' to meet more ppl.

I find this hilarious because I looked at my profile. This person seemd to think I was a cool dude but what I had written was completely retarded and hadn't been updated since I was in high schoool.

The only thing my profile said was "I like pizza, soda and video games that aren't gay. I can't wait for UT 2004 to come out cause unreal tournament is the best fps ever." Yeah that's the profile of a cool dude for sure. I didn't realize what a tool I was back in high school until now lol. Apparently this spamer thinks i'm a cool dude though so it's all good.

Heh, I know, I got one too and was like "Alright, older chick diggin me..." Proceeded to do a little "Night at the Roxbury" headbob action, then a little "giggity giggity giggity, aaaaall riiight". Then thought to myself. What kind of chick would dig that? And then I saw this topic...

 

In all seriousness though, I suggest a 10 post minimum as some have said before, along with adding in that they must be forced to wait a minimum of a week before they can pm, and if they are found spamming the forums in any way, shape or form, they are then forced to wait another week, and all spam posts removed from their post count.

Just as an update I've banned 425 accounts on the site in the past 24 hours to curb this.  They all signed up with different IPs and it was hard to track them down.  In short I'll be watching the mail system closely to keep fighting these bastards.  I like the idea of a trial period before being able to send PMs but don't think that will curb them for too long.  The message limit per day is a good idea and I'll run some metrixs on the database to determine a suitable amount of messages to allow in a 24 hour period that won't affect too many of our members.

also got one of those I was like what a heck???

I can't even get away from this type of junk here... 

 

thanks for your effort in cleaning them up. :)

 

I think msg limit would be a nice feature and you increase the limit if this person is an active person with higher ranking..

so newly created accounts could send out maybe 5 mails a day while high ranked 50..

Ok, add this one to the mix, lol:

how's it going.

i was going over for ppl like moi, & i noticed your lil' site. You seem to be a considerably noticeable dude, but I'm pretty inexperienced here, & dont really know where to go on this site. Can't they have some sort of chat thing here? Well, i can't stand writing msgs 2 ppl, & sometimes never getting anything back. Well, if you wanna chatting with me, you can check me over @ date-galaxy.org?id=3587 , my name there is starvamp.

So, ya, hope to see you. I'm always lookin' to find more people.
