    Hi!
    Every couple of days I get a Spam private message on DP.:mad: Just got another one now.

    I have a suggestion how to stop this, I don't know how easily it can be integrated in this standard forum platform, but here it is:

    Add a "report spam" button to the message display page:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=xxxxx

    Once certain user is reported as spammer by 2-3-4 users in, say, 24hrs, his account is banned temporarily until a mod can have a look at it. But more importantly, all the spam messages he sent are immediately deleted and do not bother other members.
