The spam situation on this site has officially been dealt with, meaning, I've made it all but impossible for spambots to join. With that said, we're still dealing with some skeezballs who snuck in before this was implemented.
So, if you have spammy E-mails (including a random message from the now-banned user Serendipity) in your inbox dated on or before 1/21/2010, simply delete them. If you receive a spam PM from here on out, please hit the
icon on the upper right of the message to flag it, and the user will be banned with the quickness.
In the meantime, users must now make 10 posts before PMs can be sent. This will help identify any left over and future spammers, and it will help your in-boxes stay clean. Users blatantly trying to bypass the system by posting randomness to pad post counts will be marked as spam and banned.
