Has anybody else noticed an increase in Private Message SPAM? I saw some spam posts in the forum early in the year and the moderators have since found a way to keep it out. Thank you very much for whatever you did, it sure does seem to have worked. I have not seen SPAM posts in quite a while.
If you can now figure out how to eliminate the PM SPAM that would be great. I'm betting this is going to be a harder one to solve.

Currently somebody can start to Register for the forum
but not complete the Registration, and cannot post,
but CAN send PM to members.
Can a Guest also send PM messages?

Default Hi
Hi,
I will pay you $50 to your PayPal within 24 hours if you sign-up with a web-hosting website for just $0.01 with your own PayPal.
You just have to spend $0.01 from your PayPal to earn the $50 from me by PayPal.
Are you interested ?
If yes .....
1. Then plz go to: http://tiny.cc/LILCA and on that page on the left-below, you'll see a plan called "Personal" and a little below it, there is an
"Order Now" button. Click on it.
2. Now click on the "I will update my nameservers on an existing domain Or I will register a new domain." radio-button. After that remember one of the domain
name you own and enter it in the blank field saying "www". Then click on "Click to Continue".
3. On the next page, click on "Add to Cart".
4. On the next page, enter the coupon "1CentPersonal" (without the double quote) in the "Promotional Code" field. And then click on "Validate Code".
5. Then you will see that the Total price has come down to just $0.01. (The $6.99 fee is to be deducted from next month and you will cancel this subscription later on)
Now click on the "Checkout" button.
6. On the next page, fill up your details. Then click on "Complete Order" button.
7. On the next page, on the top-right you will see a yellow-coloured PayPal subscribe logo - click on it.
8. On the next page, log on to the PayPal.
9. Here you will see that the website is charging you only $0.01 and a small monthly fee of $6.99 payable after 30 days. This is a subscription. That website
will automatically deduct a monthly fee of $6.99 from the next month.
IMPORTANT NOTE : You will accept this $0.01 payment and the $6.99 subscription (payable after 30 days) for the time being only but after 7 days, you will
have to cancel the $6.99 monthly subscription, so that I can recover my affiliate fee from that website.
10. After you have paid, plz go to the website and browse the website for 5 minutes and then log out.
After this, send me an invoice of $50 by PayPal to me to dan.norris@rediffmail.com and write your email adress with which you have signed-up with that
website in the "Message" field (so that I can verify whether you have indeed signed-up or not) and within 24 hours, I will pay you $50 to your PayPal.
Thanx and have some action ! Happy earning !
