    Ok I am sick of receiving PM messages from spammers I have received this same message around 6 times in the last 2 days via PM from people with 0 posts, their should be a rule people can only send PM messages after 15 posts on the forum -

    this spammer keeps sending this, its quite annoying.

    Idea has been suggested previously, Connections.

    I have received reports on members xcess protect, samninja08, mathew_collin, ravi shanker sending out same spam. If you received same spam from another member please forward to a mod.

    this thread is not about just fording emails,

    I think their should be some rule about when people can send PM messages,

    I see this 15 post before sending PM messages rule wipe out PM spam bots on other forums yet I don't know why DP such a big forum has this problem.
