    I just got another.

    On my forums, I have this mod installed:
    http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=177998

    It limits the number of PM that a user can send a day. I restrict users to 3 PM's a day . Its harsh, but does stop the mass spamming via PM.

    Perhaps the admin could consider it for DP.

    Forward the PM spam to one of the mods is all what we can do right now.

    Thanks for the suggestion. :D

    If no one would deal with spammers the spamming would stop.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but we require a lot of business information to be sent via PM instead of publicly posted, so limiting daily PMs is pretty unlikely here.
