    Just forward the spammy PM to one of the mods with the annotation 'PM Spam' and they'll take remedial action.

    The vast majority of new members use the PM system responsibly and legitimately - it wouldn't be right to penalise them for the actions of an annoying 1%.

    Of course the trouble is that there's a chronic shortage of moderators online today. Really need some sort of organised rota system.

    no they will never.they think they have this nice way of creating an account an immediately they can spend pm's to who ever they want.

    Can't anything be done for this.Imean can this be stopped.

    Like before posting in the link sales you must have certain posts .

    So can't we have for thi too i mean this would be tough but surely something should be done about it
