    No matter what forum you join - if PMs are allowed there will be those who abuse it. You can:

    Ignore the PM and hope that person doesnt do it again

    Reply to the PM and ask them not to do it again reminding them that PM spam is not allowed here and you will report it to the mods

    Or go ahead and report the spam PM to the mods right away.

    By far most of the members here are really great to deal with. Don't get discouraged because of a few.

    out of 103k members you had a run in with one bad seed. As Kentuckyslone said, don't be discouraged, there is a wealth of information here and that alone speaks about the majority of this communities members.

    Wow cclind I'm amazed how you a new member to this forum can lose all respect for other members who have been here a while.

    As mentioned the PM system isn't perfect. I'm sure you get spam emails. PMs work in the same manner. It can get abused.

    Most members here are honest, hardworking webmasters who are not spammers.

    If you don't like this forum your are free to leave. . . no one is stopping you.

    I always just forward to Crazy_Rob (sorry Rob...just for some reason you're the first one i think of when it comes to punishment :D)...

    though, as I see it...starting a post like this as your first one...you're a spammer too ;)

    I have also only been a member for few days, no spam here.

    In fact, I have had nothing but kind words, and great advice from a highly active forum.

    there is an automatic software that sends pms, no need to worry, even if he gets banned, he will use another account, just ignore them.
