    i got a PM from a 0 posts user too. asking me to join their forum. didn't think it was spam so i just ignored it.

    if YOUR spam is 'nigerian' style forward to admin so that they can ban the user.

    Wonder if these people realize that most people here are industry professionals or very busy webmasters with no time for any more forums? :confused:

    Well, let's see..

    No link advertised, did not ask you to join or visit anything...

    Aren't you a bit fast on deciding it is spam ? Perhaps he just wants to find friends...

    Nah seriously looks like a 419 scam to me. No he isn't offering anything.. but he sure wants my email address to put on his spam list.

    Come on he still has 0 posts. If he wanted "friends" he would announce himself on the board.

    If it's not reported, nothing can be done about it.

    ksamimi has been banned- thank you! :)
