Haven't received, fwiw.

Looks like the post minimum before pming isn't implemented.

It does appear to be on, but perhaps it isn't working on PMs for some reason. I've banned the spammer and bumped up the minimum count threshold, but that's the limit of my abilities on this matter. We'll have to let FishPants take a look at this.

I was hit as well, but I'll certainly keep an eye out for more now that the :binky: are aware.

FYI, you can report PMs. If you get one of these (other than from CynthiaFalid, who has already been banned), please report it so staff knows to ban the spammer.

Interesting I will look into this, I am currently away at a conference but this weekend I will have some time.. I need to get cracking on my studying as well as family stuff. Never a free moment! Sorry guys, I'll do what I can Saturday/Sunday.

It might be a good time to consider raising the post limit to something more reasonable as well. Maybe like 35,000 or so?
