I got one of those 'Hi, are you lonely, send me your EMail addy and I'll send you my pictures and we can see if we click" messages today. Of course I know I can put the user on ignore. Might be a good feature to have if it doesn't exist already. Looking into this issue now Update: If you receive a private message that is spam, like the one noted above: Send a private message to Katy Moderator. Please note the spam senders name and include the text or a screen shot. It will be investigated. Also, remember to place the spam sender on ignore after you report it to the moderator.

Darren Scorpio Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 99% of the spammers will be New Residents, so why not block "New Residents" from being able to create private messages, but can still receive messages from others? Or would this be too rational of a solution for it to be considered by the Lab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If private messages could work that way, only allow users to receive PM until after a certain point, we would have tried that. Not an option yet but maybe sometime in the future.

Void Singer Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I thought Lithium let you tie stuff like that to the rank? granted as it stands right now I think you can rank every 2 posts for the basic role, which is probably unworkable, but a slight tweak there would prevent that (or at least give you a heads up that a problem account was on the rise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the PM ability mods and other residents cannot privately contact a new user if needed. Nor can the Resident reach out privately for help. Type Resident in the User search. You will see how many this could impact. Many! On the other hand, my belief is that most spammers who use this spam method are forum experienced and would likely overcome any reasonable formula we put in place pretty fast. I am keeping my eye out for updates from Lithium on this topic and we will keep thinking on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 understood, I can see how that might be a problem, I was more thinking of sub ranks, but it's probably better not to have to send them to support portal if they find they can't post or whatnot to get up to using PM's. ah well, it was a thought, thanks for the speedy notice =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dresden Ceriano Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 So I logged in today and much to my surprise, I'd actually gotten a private message. My first thought was... hey someone sent me a private message... then I the thought occurred to me... ooooo, this could be one of those spam PMs and I will finally be showered with the adoration I so desperately crave. I NEED VALIDATION!!! Imagine my disappointment when I opened it and realized it was just Representative Linden informing me of my new "Member" rank... I was completely crushed. ...Dres (Though, I guess it's better to have a member rank than a rank member) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 add it to your profile as "Member Ranks(up there)".... might be just the thing to get a few dates =D ETA: ::seriously considers changing my Sig to "No Member to Rank".... then wonders if I'd get banned:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
