Ok I banned him for 7 days, but I can't check his PMing activity to perma ban him,so if he complains someone can unban him.

That said, I thought we were changing the PM options to only PM mods and admins without posting?

[givememyleg]

Thanks for reporting and thanks for banning.

Looking into the post thing, should be restricted.

privat message, not spam!

[pooterguy]

Might this be related to the recent targeted forum attacks?

Actually, this was in my email. Banboy.

Is there a way to block peeps from sending emails thru my visitors page?

[Hawk]

LOL at thinking spam isn't spam if it is sent by PM instead of email.

If you click on "Edit Options" in your profile, there's something about allowing emails from members, which you may wanna change.

That said, we think the options might not be quite working right at the moment, so we're having our programmer looking into it.

[givememyleg]

We're going to have this off by default and not allow new members to use it at all, just like PMs.
