Oh btw guess what, there's keyloggers involved. Don't reply or click any links.
Nothing that would get in simply by opening the PM I hope?

No that should be safe. He can not embed anything like scripts or such in a PM.

Fixed the 3 char MAXIMUM.. I misread it as MINIMUM. doh....

I posted a board wide announcement at the top of all forums--delete any spam he sent ya. Any PM's you get are safe-as in safe to open, but clicking on links an unknown user has in their PM *could* take you to a website with bad stuff..

I'm manually validating new members again now. These f'ing bots are getting smarter, sadly.. Going to install a newer image recognition package and other tricks to fool the bots.

Just tried sending a PM literally ten seconds ago, and it was limiting me to 120 characters max. That's about as long as this post. Is that a bug?

No, it just recognised you and decided you'd sent too many already
