I deleted both accounts. I can add limits so new members can't use private messages.

We've had that on my forums too - its a new spam attack against vBulletin. I solved it by creating a new, invisible user group that someone automatically joined with a post count of 5, and only allowing that group PM access.
Not fun but it works.If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.
Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

Me, too. I have mine set up to only allow PMs from one certain person and that is it. My DH and DD are both members here and they are not even able to send me a PM. Originally Posted by sunshine
