AngelaAnn Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 So, someone has taken to spamming my personal folder--how the hell did this happen? I blocked the person but want to ensure that this doesn't happen to you all by reporting it to a moderator. The member's name is mignulikz or something and don't click on anything in the message!!

Will T Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 ignore it. someone put a spambot into the bb system. hopefully it wont happen again. The delete function works better than getting upset about it. Whenever new technology surfaces with wonderful applications, some bright young kids are going to figure a way to hack it, steal it, spam it or send a virus through it. Life is good!

Clynn Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 If you need moderator help the best thing to do is pm me or Dolittle. That sends us an email alerting us quickly that our attention is required somewhere. The account sending the porn messages has been deleted and their IP address has been banned. However, like WillT says, with spam you've got to run as fast as you can to stay exactly where you are. As with any email you receive from someone you don't know, be wary of any links to outside sites both in posts and in pm's. They could send you anywhere - porn, viruses, or sites designed to steal your passwords or credit card numbers. We do what we can to protect you but sometimes it comes down to you and your best judgment. Remember that not everyone on the internet have your best interests at heart.
