    You can report pm spam, just forward it to a mod and theyll sort it.

    Thanks for the alert. The best defense we have going is to have members report PM spam to mods as soon as they find it to keep member from continuing the spam attack.

    For those of you who do not know, list of mods/admins found on home page of forum http://forums.digitalpoint.com right above the list of whose online. Link says, "View forum leaders."
