What? Huh? Jamaican Spam via the forum PM?

[John Kasaian]

Has anyone else here recieved a pm from jamaicanstud through this forum?

[Mark Carstens]

Yes. Jamaican-dud needs to piss-off. How I hate SPAM!

And yes, that includes the canned pork product as well!

I got it. Does it take very long for spammers to get banned here?

[Tom Westbrook]

Since they are private message the mods can see them (if they don't get it, too), so if you get a spam in a private message, send the content (or enough of it to show it's spam) and, most importantly, the user name of sender. Send it using the Contact Us form (link at the bottom of every page).

I'll check to see if there's a hole in our security somewhere we can tighten up.

[David A. Goldfarb]

We get these on APUG occasionally, and it just seems to be individuals posting, so it's not easy to block without adding another level of security to the login process like real name verification, which Phil Greenspun seems interested in trying at photo.net.

Short of that, users who receive the spam need to report it to the moderators, so that they can ban the spammer.
