i have not recieved one of those and it sucks that someone is doing that, unfortunately other than banning the person unless people want us to read every pm that goes through we cant stop these :\

Understand however these people need to be banned once, they are reported, perhaps the best way is to make pms, only available to payed members, that way after you ban these mother !@#$%^&*, you can at least say you got the money from them, so there is a plus side to it, they get reported, and you get there money, very little chance of loss, perhaps a post to any noobs here to the internet, about how this happens would be a good thing, I can only imagine the hell in court to you guys if someone an adult where to actually get screwed by this, it is well worth any and all effort to combat it, !!!

Removing the PM feature for non-premium members is not a very good idea, perhaps we need some other features installed. Unfortunantly, for the time being, your just going to have to ignore/delete them and wait for the person to be banned.

i was asking tault_admin if something like what ipb has where you can report posts could be added. might work on pm's but i havnt tested it on the other boards i am an admin of but this would allow easy bans of all scam/spam accounts.
