Spam Private messages
Is anyone else getting all of a sudden a PM from brand new accounts and have some gibberish about buying or selling something with a gmail address?

Hey guys, would you be able to provide any of the usernames these private messages are coming from? This is definitely something we do not want happening on the forums.

Thanks guys, feel free to continue updating this thread with users, we recently updated the new post spam filters which has worked tremendously to catch the bot posters but it seems some of them are taking to private messages that are harder to track.
