As I've written, I'm at a loss to prevent these but am now exploring how PM use can be restricted until restrants are approved.

Interesting choice of words considering I know you know what kind of PMs float around here

Yup, me too. It's a PITA to log back into the forum only to find out some jerk is practicing jerkism and probably typing with one hand, too.

Sorry - I'm bad.

Pretty irksome situation. I am blocking IP and Email addresses based on the activity of them, but this is the 3rd different entity. Still working on not allowing new but unapproved registrants access to the PM system. That's the long term solution.

Sorry for the annoyance.

I think I just figured out how to change a setting that will prevent unapproved registrants from PMing!! I'm confident that will end this problem...

Steve, we all appreciate your efforts here, but really, it could have waited until the end of the game!

'Just got'? Time stamped when? Because Razzorr account was deleted more than an hour ago.

Default Can you tell if my computer has a virus?

I've been getting private messages saying:
"Hello, friend. There are viruses' activities from your computer in last few days."
All I do is occasionally post without links, pictures, etc. The PMs have a link.

Sounds like an ad trying to get you to click on something, probably a naughty site of some sort

Don't click on the link in the PM.
