    Ah discussed many a times and nothing can be done regarding this without reporting the MODS

    Just forward the PM to Crazy_Rob or T0PS30 or Smyrl or any other MOD so that they judge what to do...

    By all means send copy of the PM spam to one of the mods on duty when you receive it.

    We appreciate users help helping keep DP clean.

    Can you block senders in the PM area like you can with an email client? Have not looked.

    Thank you ExoticCarSite. Since Mods do not tend to get the PM spam it is only through members like yourself that we know when this happens. :}

    When you post in a thread asking how you do something you get bombed with pm's from indians saying they can do it for you.

    You can also disable your PMs altogether if you want.

    I get them from time to time, and it's not exclusive to members from India.

    The buddy/ignore list helps ... when you get a subsequent msg from someone on the 'ignore' list, you still get it, but it doesn't popup a notification window and it's already check marked so you can simply delete it.

    When they're egregiously sending them I will forward to a mod so the person can be handled; otherwise I just add them to the ignore list and they're are set for deletion ;)

    You might get one or two from a scammer/spammer, but they're usually banned in short order without having to bother the admins or mods.

    I figured since I joined DP early this year, I have had maybe 5 spam pm's.

    I just delete. And none have sent me more.

    Am thinking that most if not all the spammers are banned anyway.
    Or never come back here.
