Why am I getting spammed?

Post by Blurry » Fri Jul 22, 2011 12:35 pm

I haven't been on this site in months, and yet I recently went to check my email and had one informing me that I had a private message here. I checked it, and it was some spam mail with a link to another site. I ignored it, but it's happened again today. The two messages are identical but sent by two different screen names. What gives?

We're trying to figure that out... if possible send me a copy of the spams (or at least the names of the senders).

I don't have Admin privileges but can send forward to those who do.

I would say, try blocking the sender. But since the sender changes it wouldn't do you a whole lot of good.

The real question is... Why have you been gone?

Should this thread be moved down into eplaya feedback forums?

Mods can't get at the PM spam.

Well, it's happened again. I only just checked the responses to this, so bbSue I'll forward those to you today.

I quit coming because my Burning Man dreams for 2011 have been dashed. This won't be my first year, unfortunately. Maybe next year.

Sorry to hear you can't make it... I'll pass the spam along.
