What is Digital Point's policy about PM spam?

    I own a few boards, and have modded several others, and we never allowed people to spam our members via the private message feature. I have gotten two here recently.

    Is this an accepted process here, or should I rat them out?

    I don't see that button on Private Messages.

    I see that the first guy was already banned, but the one I got today is a n00b that joined yesterday, with zero posts. Name is "myfax" if the mods care.

    Not sure how I can survive without making the $50/day they promise, but I guess I will survive.

    You are right, you won't see that image in PM's.

    Forward the PM to a moderator

    Forward PM spam to a moderator who is online when you receive it. The list of moderators/admins online is found right above the list of who is online on homepage http://forums.digitalpoint.com with link view forum leaders.

    Would you believe this was my first thread? I had two spams before my first post.
