Thanks, I marked that account as a spammer.

Received a spam pm from new member “manssa.”

Thank you so much, Megan! I just took care of that one.

Reminder to everyone: If you receive a Spam private message, don’t click anything in it, and don’t reply. Just let us know. Thank you!

I just received a spam message from Marian Karam, her handle appears to be akaramkaram. Possibly harmless, but unsolicited “hello I saw your profile” type message.

Thanks for letting us know. I marked that account as a spammer and blacklisted the IP address.

FYI, we now have something installed that restricts the number of PMs a user can send within a specified amount of time. This doesn’t prevent someone from sending a few, but they can’t just instantly message 200 people. This spammer seems to have given up after 7 messages.

Good idea!

There is a spam post in the Art forum: [url]https://windstoneeditions.com/forums/topic/some-art-pieces/page/7/#post-1638801[/url]

My keyboard is broken. I keep pressing "Escape", but I'm still here.

Thanks for the heads up—I removed that account.

Can someone change the title of this thread to Spam PMs, please? It’s not June 18, 2019 anymore.
Thanks.

Life is beautiful.
