This new member looks odd, but might be OK:

Jennifer Thomas is connected to a site called Lucky Cigar, including a link in her Forum signature.

Thanks, I marked that account as a spammer.

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.

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

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

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

Life is beautiful.
