    Some guy named David L sent me a pm with childporn it looks like. But I see now way to delete it.. How does one do this? Also, may want to remove it from the server in case they are trying to use that to do something bad to your site Brandon

    I have had the same problem with him and mybbfreak. What you do is leave the conversation (right about first message) and then say ignore all from sender if you don't want anyore.

    To leave the conversation, click the leave conversation button on the top of the message under the <h1> header ;)

    I don't suggest you google 1man1jar then.. O.o

    Sorry for this everyone, trust me when I say I'm far more upset about this then anyone else could be on this forum.
    This isn't something I want happening, it looks like some improvements are coming in the next xF release.

    I almost literally threw up. I can feel the taste of ya know...*buyuck*

    Thank god for the "ignore future posts from member" option when you leave convo.

    The weird thing is, the bot doesn't seem like a bot, he was vying for my attention since I created the vbseo thread and TITLED the PC "vbSEO."

    I'm sort of interested in seeing the picture now..lol

    but seriously, the "member" group should no longer have access to personal messages
    once 1.1 comes out we'll setup a 2nd member group or "helpful users" something.. that all new members will be promoted into once they hit X post.. This will allow us to remove a few of our current mods as well lock down all spam.

    This is what I had on my gen forum when we're on vBulletin.. Very VERY few spam links ever got posted on the forums and it will help activity because the "real" users will need to make X post to start to utilize the forums. :thumbsup:
