PM spam

[V8Rumble]

I just got two of them in the last minute and last week I came home with about a dozen in my pm box. Is anyone else getting spam. First time since I've been on the forum. Maybe time to update the captcha?

Please forward the PM's to any of the moderation team and we'll get them banned for you.

bots like account1, account3

Got the current batch (I got hit too!).

Thanks for the heads up.

I just added the user " account01 " to my ignore list. I hope that stops the PM Spam.

account01 hit me as well.

[jxg]

got hit twice, sent note to Pekka

[SwingBopper]

It's now account02
BAN em please.

[Pete]

Thanks guys. All those users and their friends have been banned, but there might be more registering - I already hit a load earlier on and then a fresh batch registered.

We appreciate your assistance in bringing these guys to our attention. We're banning them as quick as we can see them.

Is there away to add "AccountXX" to the prohibited list of user names?

That's probably not effective. They've already tried other variances ("acc01" was also banned). It won't be long until they have the message that we're locking them out.
