    Wouldn't think it would be a problem for new users to need a couple hand fulls of post before they can PM....2cents

    Beats me as they were using a url redirection service that took one to a listing of sites the included things such as the DharmaWeb, BeliefNet and multiple other site about Eastern Philosophy and Religion. The vast majority are informational and not selling anything.

    As spam goes it's quite out of the norm. But still, you don't do that.

    Was everyone's quote he mailed the same? I knew something was up when the subject of the pm was my username.

    On another site I ran I set the post count to 3 before PMs were enabled and made posts in the introductory and for-sale forums not count towards post counts, that seemed to keep spammers at bay for the most part.

    So she's not a real member and won't get any subjective photos?

    DAMN!


    ...and I just found out my email didn't really win 1million euros!
