damn...I thought this person actually dug me.....OH HOW THE HEART BLEEDS!!!

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.

You all lie, this is Samantha Cox, and she loves me!!!

Just don't tell my wife

I hate spam, bleh.

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.

I got got one too but from Joy Turner.

Damn this woman gets around.

Thanks i received a spam email from some new users.  Can i suggest you add a report spam button to email originating from user on the site.  That way it would be easier for us to report them to you.

Thought that message I recieved was kind of weird. It is the same message that was posted here that started this post. I guess they will have to set a new standard before people can start pm'ing I guess.

I got one yesterday too and looked in vane for a way to report it.  Either a forward direct to the help desk or a report spam button would be great.

This is a good idea and one we'll implement.  I'm thinking of it being more automated though... 5 spam reports from a user and they can no longer send out of the internal mail system.

Such automatization is way easy to abuse.

Well, it says they wont be able to send anything through the mail system. It can easily be countered by just asking for permission from a mod, which is more work than these spammers would do.

Though, would be a good idea with this system, to have to have the message in question examined before any real action, but you do suspend the account's mailing capabilities til such examination occurs.

Yup I got Veronica also.  Apparently  I seem like an interesting person lol.         

I suppose it was only a matter of time before Ciara Murphy (same message verbatim) found my lair. Before I saw this thread, I thought one of my ex-s had tried to locate me for some child support!!!
 

Edit: Must have been really desperate to send one to our good friend, Jon Wood!

i got about 70 spam emails today mostly trying to sell viagara or some diet aid recommended by o. wimfrey.

Since you guys (mmorpg.com) REFUSE to divulge the headers of these spam emails it is impossible to prove-take punitive actions against these ONGOING spamers.

I know that the last post is 1 month old but.. guess what I found today! Same thing, from user Hanna_44qe signed Christa Anderson
