Default Some members are spamming via PM

There's a grassroots movement on my site that has several members sending PMs to other members telling them how to shut my site down with spam and to go to another site.

How would you suggest that I find these members?

I see that PM activity has gone up a great deal on my site lately.

I just found: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=122939
How does that compare to the Read PMs?

Is it overkill?

Any other opinions?

Is there a way to just see which users are receiving the PMs from other users?

yeah run some SQL queries... occasionally if we see some spam on the forums for something we will run a query to see if people are sending that link around.

Also we removed the member list as it was being used to mass PM.
