Well I just got another spam from a different "new member". I've never even had this happen to me before in the 4 years I have been on this site.

Yes we have had PM spam almost weekly. It is being handled, this time cleanup takes a bit more time so you noticed it :)

And we are now done banning the spammers.

Thanks to all that reported the PM spam via PM to admins.

Please check if the user is already banned before forwarding the pm to admins.

Now that I think about it, it is amazing that this is the first time I ever received a spam pm. Way to go Pekka!
