        Whenever I get am email telling me I have a message titled “HELLO” or “HI THERE” in all Caps I’m pretty confident before even logging in that it’s spam, lol.

              I think there’s another spam user “Kayla Noyes”. I just received a similar message from them.

                I got one too from a Kayla Noyes. Definitely a scammer
                And not a native English speaker. Syntax is all wrong
                Probably from overseas.

                Do the right thing, when no one is looking...♥

                      Clay has removed several Kayla Noyes accounts now. If any more show up, we’ll remove them. Just delete those messages. We are sorry this spam got into our website. The spammer does not have your personal email address – the email going to you is sent only by our website to tell you that you have a message in the Private Message system.

                      sorry for the inconvenience!

                        Everyone,

                        Just want to let you know that I will be working on this issue over the weekend. The spammers seem to be getting more frequent and more persistent, so I will look at different ways of combatting them. Spam prevention is always a balancing act–how to keep the spammers at bay, while keeping the site easy to use for legitimate community members. I will update you all on new spam prevention measures as soon as possible. Rest assured that your personal info (including your email address) is not at risk. The email you receive is from our site, notifying you that you have a new PM; it is not a message from the spammer directly. Sorry for the inconvenience, and stay tuned for the solution.

                        (I’m posting this on the other relevant threads as well)

                          We have another spammer this morning with a message titled “Hello” – ariananesbitt

                          I’m sending a message to Clay about it.

                          #1572980

                          Yep, I got one from ariananesbitt titled “Hello” as well.

                            I got that one, too.

                            That’s 4 this month. In addition to all the spam and junk emails that I get just because I’ve got an email address.

                            Life is beautiful.
