Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 All we can do is to try to ban the spammers when they are brought to our attention, but since they are physically joining the site and sending someone a PM there's no way to stop them besides banning them after we are made aware of them and what they are doing. It happens all the time on any popular forum. Saying it gives the site a bad image is like saying getting spam emails gives your email host a bad image lol. Let us know when someone sends you a PM that is spam and we will go in and ban that person. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
