Default PMs Messing Up?

I get this error message when trying to send a PM:

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:
The text that you have entered is too long (77 characters). Please shorten it to 3 characters long.

Halp!

I got one from a fellow named Steve, who wanted me to be a mod on his new forum, yesterday, or the day before. I did reply and it worked fine.

Yeah, there's weirdness going on. Yesterday morn I got a pm here from someone who registered "Join Date: December 31, 1969 Posts: 0" wanting me to join some website as a mod. *checking the calendar* Nope, it isn't April 01 yet.


*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.*

More weirdness. I was trying to send a pm to Z and no matter what I do, I get an error message telling me the pm is too long, limit it to *3* characters!

Here is the message I received:

Quote:
Hello my name is Steve , i'm a web developer and i have a proposal for you, i'm about to launch a new web site is mainly a Forum web site, i'm looking for people to join me as moderators, they just have to create a section about anything and then fill that section with categories and posts, in return they'll have the right to an advertisement space wich they can fill with google adsense or a personal banner promoting other websites.
i'm working with a designer, a publicist and seo expert , we have 15 people on board awaiting to create their sections , we'll have a period of 2 weeks to have all the sections ready, the main language will be english and spanish and then we'll be looking for more languages, so if you are interested contact me stevemazzanti@yahoo.com to provide you with more technical information.
Seemed harmless so I replied, but kindly, declined the offer.

I got the Steve-spam as well. Some guy fishing for mods. Not good style to do that on other boards without the admins permission, perhaps, but at least he didn't make a thread about it.

Got the same thing. Got a kick out of anyone asking me to be a mod anywhere. thought it was funny looking, especially the lousy grammar. I don't mean just an odd error here or there; it was one long run-on.

Thought about replying with my decline, but then I read Z's announcement, and just deleted it.

Funny also that he asked that we reply to his email address and not to his IW account. Though not when you consider he probably knew the account would be deleted shortly after discovery.
