    Best to do in case of PM spam.

    Forward it to a moderator ALONG WITH the offending user's profile page url.

    Perhaps they don't have that much guts to send a PM spam to a moderator. :D

    I am not talking about now... even before I never received pm spam. Maybe because they always get caught before reaching "r" in the members list :D

    that's pretty logical though. A member who have 500+ post doesn't know who is mod, but a spammer actually spent time looking for mod...
