Getting Spam Private Messages

MtnSwing · 04-21-2008, 08:05 PM

I'm getting spammed through private messages. I sent a msg through the contact us page but no response. What's the best way to deal with this? It's just one case but it would be great to have a 'report spam' option in the private message window.

I'm sure the admins work very hard to reduce and prevent spam but we could use a more active way to quickly report spam.

Cheers

I've never gotten a spam message on here, so I must be lucky.

If I were to get a spam message, I would just use the "forward" button, and send it to Julie (justaskjulie).

That would cause wailing and gnashing of teeth for the offending party.

Thank you for posting. The Swingers Board wants to know about any problem with spam, especially if you are receiving spam through PMs.

I have moved your thread to the Comments forum since it pertains to site comments and suggestions.

Members can send a PM to JustAskJulie , the administrator of the Swingers Board, if ever you receive spam and she will take action.

Probably in the form of some sort of weapon of mass destruction.

I say we take off and nuke the spammer from orbit.

If you get a spam via PM please click the "FWD" button on the PM and forward it to me (JustAskJulie) so that I can take care of it.

Thanks all. And Thanks Julie for blocking the member. I just couldn't find any simple way to report it so that's why I posted. Spam is getting more and more creative at weaseling its way into our lives.

Cheers

If you want to eat spam, go to Hawaii. You haven't lived until you've had Spam Musubi.
