    Everyone seems to get those, I get maybe 1 or 2 per year. I used to think that they avoid long time members and those with high post counts, but DP himself gets more PM spams than me ...

    I think they just find some relevant posts and then send a PM to the poster, or at least that's the way I'd do it ;)

    But may be there're some automated tools to send PM's :eek: ?

    I get a pm with attached nude photo of good looking woman wanting my bod, I will not get excited about pm's.

    Now my regular email address, that anyone can pick up here on the forum, has jumped quite a bit on the spam.
    Anyone else notice that?

    You have to be registered to see the E-mail address. Though vBulletin does have the option to protect you from registered spammers by having a form instead of showing the E-Mail address, but it looks like leting registered spammers see our E-mail addresses is good, for some crazy reason!! :confused:

    just speaking on spam in general and even non spam if someone sends me a email and its not like directly to the point I will get lost in it. It isnt that I do not care its that I have 100000 other things to do. Lots of time I will just save them but then it shows that I read it so people get pissy and are like ARE YOU IGNORING ME

    So if you send me a email or pm and its more then 2 sentences I probably will just save it for another time.

    I think the PM facility should be enabled once user has reached atleast 10 posts and 7 days at DP
