That means they violated the terms of service of our site and were banned from using the site as a result.
PM Spam is not tolerated just as spam on the real boards. The person we banned today was sending PM's to people unsolicited and had never posted on the boards.

I agree with SgtTigger! Thank goodness for John and the rest of the staff! You guys do a great job!
I also received a PM from Steph2. I replied simply because I don't ever get PM'ed and thought I'd be nice to someone new. Now that i know that she was SPAMing everyone else, I wish I hadn't taken the time to do so.

A couple other boards I know for sure got hit but with a similiar name in the last two weeks. This person is making the rounds. Glad we catch these people. Its a pain for all. Just make sure you don't respond to them, they are trying to disrupt the pm service.
Thanks John!

Guess I don't qualify for Buddhism recruitment, because I didn't get a spam PM.
What a bummer, dude!

Banned?
Kudos to John et al for catching and managing this sort of thing so efficiently.

I received the same PM. I figured it was spam since there were no posts by this user.
I didn't know how to report it to moderators, so could you tell us for future reference if it happens again?
Thanks! You guys are the cat's pajamas!

I did reply to be nice not that I said much. What could possibly happen to the pm system and how is it disrupted?

Don't feel bad, Ian. I didn't get one either but DBF did.

Since there's no "report post" feature on PM's I would say just forward it to one of the senior mods - John, Carol, or Mel. (If I missed someone, I'm sorry).

You can report it to any moderator via Private Message, or a sure bet is to email INTERCOT Guest Relations via the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page.
We really appreciate all of your help keeping the INTERCOT boards free of all that junk!

Or that works too. Thanks Jeanne!

Guess they figure you are too far from Enlightenment to bother
