    Has anyone else been getting spam PMs? I've got a couple recently, along the same lines as spam posts on forums. If I come across one on a forum, I usually click the Report Post icon to let the mods know about the user/thread. Is there something similar that can be set up for PMs?

    Since PMs don't fall under a forum, and therefore lack any mods to report to, where would such a complaint go to? If a Report Post type function couldn't be set up, what about a common forwarding address (Mr. NoSpamDieDieDie)?

    Here's the most recent one I got:

    As far as I know, you can report PM's, but I'm not sure where they go - Smods most likely. If you're getting spam mail, a PM to one of the Smods is usually the best route to take, it can be sorted from there!
