"What happened to the PM that should be in my Inbox"

[jarkko]

Sometimes there is a new member who registers his membership to the Forum and then begins to post spam messages (manually, one by one). The spam is deleted as soon as one of the moderators find it (alarms are accepted!). At the same time the spammer 's account is discontinued and his IP address banned. Every now and then this kind of spammer uses his time to send spam PM (private messages) to other members. If I get the same PM or am alarmed by other members, the spammer will be eliminated. When his account is deleted, the PMs he has sent but are not yet read by the receiver, also disappear.

In these cases you can't see any PM even if you got the automatic email informing you about a message waiting in your forum inbox. There is no need to report me about these missing PMs (I know it already because I have deleted the spammer). To make life more difficult to spammers, I am now changing the Forum parameters so that the group-PM option will not be available. Unfortunately this means that nobody can send a PM to more than one receiver at a time. If you want to reach two members, you have to copy the contents and send two messages.

If you got a message from "gensurik" today, he was eliminated, and his PMs have vanished in the cyper space so you can't find the PM in your inbox.
