Just wanted to make a quick poll and see what the concensus does in these situations.

If someone joins your board and sends out massive amounts of pm's to your members to advertise there site, what do you do?

Please vote and respond.

Thank You,

Move that person to the Miserables usergroup (with no PM allow).

I had one of those spamers on my forum, with the nickname "Patricia". Never posted anything on the board, just kept sending PMs.

when someone send a PM without participating to a community, it is ALWAYS for spam... so why do the entire process to control them.... when you are too gentle or graceful, you gain confidence from the spammers.. they will come back!

Real spammers are banned on sight on vB.org. Regardless how they spam.

If someone joins my site and sends out a single unsolicited advertising message whether its forums, VMs, PMs or elsewhere, they are banned. No questions asked.

I have minimum post count and x days registered before you can send private messages. Seems to have stopped a lot of spammers.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
