'SPAM' messages

[Carolc]

Hi MouseScrappers,

It has come to my attention that several of you have received a private message from user 'James'. This user has no posts, and the content of the message was obscure and unrelated to anything on this site. There was also a link in the signature. If you have received a message like this, do NOT click on the link in the signature. It could lead to a site with a virus/malware/spyware.

I have banned this user, and am unfortunately going to have to put in some additional restrictions for posting messages. I will start with requiring a minimum post count for sending private messages - hopefully I won't have to require it for posting photos, too. This shouldn't affect most of you, but I apologize in advance if it does. It's so unfortunate that there are people out there that take pleasure in creating problems for others.

I appreciate the members who have alerted me to this issue. If anyone ever sees anything like this, please let me know.


Carol
