There is a new spammer, sending private messages. It's name is Tormidearia

Can someone step on this for me? I don't want to ruin my new heels. Twisted Evil

SomoStaineJam is doing the same thing.

I've alerted Phoebus on the matter.

Thanks. I put a reply in the main forum. Guess a moderator should be approving accounts individually kind of thing, especially by asking a question from the movie instead of using a captcha....

at least I'm not the only one getting them. came right after my mentioning spamming in my last post, within days of my posting it.

almost felt like the response of people with way too much time on their hands. don't they know they'll go blind?!

considering the amount of spam this msg boards seems to get, that's not such a bad idea

Yeah, same here, spam from Tormidearia and SomoStaineJam.

As these guys were spamming, I bet they were singing "This is what you want, this is what you get".

Unfortunately for them, my feelings were not exactly "It's horrible, I love it, what is it?"

The spammers ain't human. Bot programs looking for PHP boards, mercilessly exploiting weaknesses to deliver their payload of garbage...

"ForumTeam" is the latest screwball to be using the PMs for spam.
