I got the same PM from him as well. I just thought he was a loney individual adrift in the big internet sea. But then I go teh message that my PM was too big as well.

Re: PMs Messing Up?

I didn't receive it, Probably because I disabled the pm function so that nobody can pm me. :P

Ummm... maybe he had a PM stalker or something? Or he feels that if you can't say it to him in front of everyone, he doesn't want to hear it? Pure speculation on my part, I don't know Kakero on a personal basis, so I really haven't a clue.

I don't know about the PM limit thing, but that private message spammer would probably have had more success at staying unnoticed if he hadn't also sent the message to Ziroc and every mods. ;)

<font color="cyan">Lol he's not looking for mods at all.

It's a bot program sending out automated PMS.

Oh btw guess what, there's keyloggers involved. Don't reply or click any links.</font>

*Same guy, it seems. Wonked join date, completely unsolicited. AND I have no way of viewing any sort of profile. Nope, ain't gonna do it.*

12/31/69 (or 31/12/69, if you prefer) is a common "zero" date in computing. Basically, if there's no date value, that gets plugged in. Since he's apparently been banned, his account's gone and when you check the PM, there's no start date, so 12/31/69 gets plugged in.

I got it too... I wonder how many people he sent it to? It'd be a pain, for sure...

Re: PMs Messing Up?

I did reply via PM. Is it going to cause a problem for me now? I think I have my email address hidden.
