Or simply forward the PM to any moderator(s) that happen to be online at the time. That will work as well.

Actually "Report" is a better option unless you're currently in a dialog with the Mod in question already. The "On line" status may well hang around for an hour after they've left the site unless they've actually logged out.

Nor have I, except on someone else's computer, but after an hour idle the system assumes you've left.

I have received a spam message from a member called drummerNi, entitled 'Greeting".

The message is:

"Just look here (link to spam website)
It seems more truthful."

I can't see a report PM button, so I thought I'd post here so a mod could investigate.
