Hazard Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I just got a private message from joyzinga20@yahoo.in - I haven't been on OL for a few months and I can see no reason why she would message me. She also has NO active topics or posts. She even mentioned that she wanted to communicate through email. This sounds fishy! Anybody else get a similar message?-Hazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I just got a reply back from customer support and they told me the following. There is a script spammers run by signing up, then, as members, they send private messages to all the other members according to filters (such as "male").There is no way to block this, but customer support told me of a way to keep the script from running. So I have limited the number of private messages for each member to 15 messages every 24 hours and only one message can be sent per minute. (I don't think anybody needs more than this at this time.)Since these spammers usually attack a large number of forums in one whack and they depend on quantity and speed, this clogs their timing and they abandon the forum that has this restriction.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
