    Thumbs down how do i report pm spam?

    some member with 20 posts messaged me trying to sell me links etc, claiming that they could see from my posts that I was looking for some [totally untrue].

    who do I report this to?
    is there some way to block DMs from users with < x posts or accounts which aren't older than X months?

    thanks

    Try reaching out to Rick (Universal4), he’s the forum administrator. I’m sure he’ll be able to sort it out for you.

    Thanks Cash Bonus,

    Yes that is certainly part of the process, and in reality you can use the "post report" function from inside the received PM

    Look for the little triangle with the ! exclamation point in it.

    This will create a report and include a copy of the actual pm you got and the original sender, so it immediately provides documentation to the Admin staff here, and we do in fact follow up on such reports.

    Aha! Thanks Rick - I didn't notice that icon at the time.
