I can't believe they are going onto PM inboxes now. Hopefully someone figures out a way to stop this. Just so you know these things that are PM'ing are bots and aren't real humans (I think)

Those two users are banned. I'm sure they're trying to circumvent IP-based bans by NOT actually posting.

same deal i guess. i was looking for someone to send a pm to so i could report this.. but i immediately saw this thread so here you go.. this is all the info in the PM i got.

i thought it was unusual to get a pm seeing as how i haven't been on MPC forums in quite some time.

my only worry is if it could be someone going into an innocent persons account and then sending them out.

P.S. MPC loving your mag. buy it monthly.. i really should get a subscription.

I've always thought about that... That would be the sweetest malware ever. Well, unless your PC got infected, but maybe for incompetent morons who would do the same thing to you if they were more intelligent.

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. I submitted a trouble ticket with our web group this morning. They're looking into it, and should have a way to block it shortly.

I concur. I had one fall off of my desk once and it shattered into a thousand pieces all over the floor. Took me an hour to sweep it all up.

So your saying it shouldn't be used because the spammers might be able to break it anyway? Why not use it in the hope that it will discourage at least some of them instead of just leaving the door wide open?

Because the web monkeys don't have the bandwidth to play around with things that 'might' work. :D
