How do I report a private message to the moderators? I just got an idiotically obvious phishing message with a link to what's probably a virus/spyware download in it.

They actually already took care of it, but not all the messages were deleted. Just delete it

I would imagine that they will remove all messages from guest event....
actually, already gone. Message indicator icon is still there though.... I'm sure it will be cleared soon as well (I have no way to remove the icon since the unread spam message was deleted by them)...

the fix was to stop the guest account from sending PMs. nothing stopping registered users from doing it, which is where the ones i've been getting are coming from. they're all template names (female-sounding first name plus two digit number) so they're easy to spot.

i'd be flabbergasted if reporting of PMs isn't on the planned feature list, so for now it's the ol' one-two punch: block and flag a mod.

I haven't recived any since the guest fix.
Are the bots creating accounts now?
