I received a threat in my inbox from the "teammoderators" who appears to be banned giving me a link to go to because they say my computer has a virus and I will be banned if I do not go to the link. So I go to the link and windows warns me that the page is unsafe so I close it. Also received another spam from a member "symbosis" saying they are bored and asking how I'm doing and then they have some stupid qoute attatched to it. Please fix this!

I've gotten three PMs from spammers as well. Cant' you guys control this somehow? I've never had spam PMs before like this, on ANY forum.

All that "I" can do is ban the SOB's.
I have no way of monitoring each PM sent to every member.
I just ask that when such an issue arrises, that our members notify the site mods ASAP.

"Symbiosis", has been banned.

What about user "teammoderators"? I received the same PM. It is obvious spam.


PM as follows:

I got a total of 4 spam PMs, one from symbiosis, two from Admin&Moderator, and one from TeamModerators, all in the last few days.

As of today, all three SOB's have been banned.
Thank you all for letting us know of these spammers.

Thanks again.
