    Has anybody else received a SPAM-sex message to their PM inbox?

    @Admin. - I realise that these can't be completely prevented but is the forum's spam filter up to date or is it time to consider something stronger?

    Yep, numerous PM's, I also noted a set of doddgy threads a few pages in, there are better spam, phishing tools out there, I've taken out any meaningful personal details from my profile as I have little confidence it's safe on this platform

    Example

    p.s cream doesn't work, although my left hand seems larger

    Yup, got another one today - duly reported and clicked the "Ignore" option for the user. Hopefully admin will block the user each time, so long as we keep reporting it.

    I just report them as "assclown" just like the spammers who start threads.

    I just clicked the user's name, and then selected Ignore -- the message seems to have disappeared from my Conversations box now... Didn't see a puff of smoke or anything, but it seems to have done the trick...:)
